Laravel Base with Docker

Dockerfile consists of basic apache document root config, mod_rewrite and mod_header, composer, node, npm, yarn and sync container's uid with host uid.

docker-compose.yml boots up php-apache (mount app files) and mysql (mount db files), using networks to interconnect.

How to use

• Checkout the project
• Configure the .env
• Execute the docker-compose
• Execute the composer

Configure the .env

cp .env.example .env

Executing the compose to build the image

docker-compose build

Executing the compose to start the containers

docker-compose up -d

Executing the compose to check out the logs

docker-compose logs -f

Executing the composer install

./composer install

Generate the key for Laravel

./php-artisan key:generate

Now we can access the Laravel: http://localhost:8080/

Helpers

From time to time, I want to be able to quickly run CLI commands (composer, artisan, etc.) without having to type docker exec everytime. So here are some bash scripts I made wrapping around docker exec:

container

Running ./container takes you inside the laravel-app container under user uid(1000) (same with host user)

./container 
devuser@2fe14786d508:/var/www/html$ exit
exit

db

Running ./db will connect to your database container's daemon using mysql client.

./db
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.

Update for Laravel 6: The New Way (php artisan make:auth)

Basically, make:auth command was used to create the authentication scaffolding. The concept has not been removed, but the way of implementation has been changed

Authentication support is now added with the help of a package now More details

The command to implement Auth is as follows:

composer require laravel/ui
php artisan ui vue --auth

This command will install a layout view, registration and login views, as well as routes for all authentication end-points. A HomeController will also be generated to handle post-login requests to your application's dashboard.

NOTE: If your Login and Register page only shows plain HTML. And CSS is not loading properly then run this two command:

npm install
npm run dev
