Docker build for all required containers

$ cd laravel_app/

# build php-fpm
$ docker build -t anishdhanka/php-fpm -f docker/php-fpm/Dockerfile .

# build docker nginx
$ docker build -t anishdhanka/nginx -f docker/nginx/Dockerfile .

# build docker workspace
$ docker build -t anishdhanka/workspace -f docker/workspace/Dockerfile .

# build docker php-worker
$ docker build -t anishdhanka/php-worker -f docker/php-worker/Dockerfile .

Note

I have installed redis and mysql from statefulsets manually , used redis for session + queue drivers and mysql as db

Set kube environment to laravel .env

Check create_env.php in laravel_app directory

<?php
function createEnv()
{
    $environment_variables = getenv();
    $env = fopen('.env', 'w+');
    foreach ($environment_variables as $key => $environment_variable) {
        fwrite($env, $key . "='" . getenv($key) . "'\n");
    }

    fclose($env);
}
