Dockerize boilerplate for Laravel Project development

docker-laravel-boilerplate

The beauty of Docker for Laravel Project development , Set up and configured a docker-compose file to create a LEMP stack of three containers wrapped in a single network, have exposed ports on that network that let us access our app and database, and have even run cli commands through docker-compose’s exec method.

The first thing you should do is installing or cloning laravel in your local

git clone https://github.com/laravel/laravel.git laravel-app

OR if you have already installed composer on your local system

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel-app

Then pulling this repository codes in the same directory that installed laravel in previous ,

Edit docker-compose.yaml and set your MYSQL_DATABASE, MYSQL_USER, MYSQL_PASSWORD, MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD environments.

Then the thing we need to do is run the build command to generate the image data:

docker-compose build

You can then proceed with actually starting up the containers using:

docker-compose up -d

In your browser, navigate to http://localhost:8080 where 8080 is the first port that you specified under the nginx service in your docker-compose.yml file.

How connect to the mysql:

If you have issue with database connection in laravel , change DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 to DB_HOST=mysql actually its the name of service that we defined in docker-compose.yaml

How connect to the mysql:
first run docker ps -a to see container Id's then use below command to execute the container docker exec -it CONTAINERID bash

Then you can run this command mysql --user=USER --password after then you need to enter the password of this user that you defined in docker-compose.yaml
