Proof of Concept

This is a freshly installed Laravel 9 project created using the online builder script. It attempts to use Caddy as a reverse proxy for SSL testing with the Laravel Sail Docker workflow. The original concept is documented here.

Deployment

Deploy this example as follows.

git clone https://github.com/Nilpo/caddy-laravelsail.git && cd caddy-laravelsail
docker run --rm --interactive --tty -v $(pwd):/app composer install
./vendor/bin/sail up --build -d

While not entirely necessary for this demo, you may also install database migrations, NPM dependencies, and run the Vite dev script.

./vendor/bin/sail artisan migrate
./vendor/bin/sail npm -i && ./vendor/bin/sail npm run dev

If you make any major changes or alter the Caddy config, you must rebuild all containers.

./vendor/bin/sail up --build --remove-orphans -d

Caveats

For debugging purposes, the .env file has been committed to this repository. This is not a secure practice. As such, this project should not be forked or used as the basis of a production project.
