To Setup The Docker For Laravel + VueJs Project.

• Create a directory to store your project-specific files.
• Let say we created the directory "helloworld" to store all the project files.
• Now create the file docker-compose.yml at the root of your project directory as shown below.

docker-compose.yml

services:
  mongodb:
    image: mongo:5.0
    container_name: mongodb1
    ports:
      - "27017:27017"
  apache:
    container_name: apache
    build: ./docker/apache
    links:
      - php
    ports:
      - "7000:80"
    volumes:
      - ./logs/apache:/var/log/apache2
      - ./src/helloworld:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/helloworld
  php:
    container_name: php
    build: ./docker/php
    ports:
      - "9000:9000"
    volumes:
      - ./src/helloworld:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/helloworld
    working_dir: /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/helloworld
  composer:
    container_name: composer
    image: composer/composer
    volumes:
      - ./src/helloworld:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/helloworld
    working_dir: /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/helloworld
    command: install
  vuejs:
    container_name: vuejs
    build:
      context: ./src/vuejs
    ports:
      - "5713:5713"
    volumes:
      - ./src/vuejs:/src
    working_dir: /src
    command: npm run dev -- --host

• Now create the directories - docker and src within the project root directory.
• Also, create two directories within the docker directory i.e. php and apache.
• Create the directories helloworld/logs/apache to store the logs.
• Create the Dockerfile within the PHP directory as shown below.

docker/php/Dockerfile

FROM php:8.3-fpm

RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y openssl zip unzip git curl
RUN apt-get install -y libzip-dev libonig-dev libicu-dev
RUN apt-get install -y autoconf pkg-config libssl-dev
RUN docker-php-ext-install bcmath mbstring intl opcache
RUN docker-php-ext-install pdo pdo_mysql mysqli
RUN pecl install mongodb
RUN docker-php-ext-enable mongodb
RUN echo "extension=mongodb.so" >> /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/mongodb.ini

Create the Dockerfile within the Apache directory as shown below.

docker/apache/Dockerfile

FROM httpd:2.4.51

COPY helloworld.apache.conf /usr/local/apache2/conf/helloworld.apache.conf
RUN echo "Include /usr/local/apache2/conf/helloworld.apache.conf" \
    >> /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf

RUN echo "LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so" \
    >> /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf

docker/apache/helloworld.apache.conf

LoadModule deflate_module /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_deflate.so
LoadModule proxy_module /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_fcgi_module /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_proxy_fcgi.so

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ fcgi://php:9000/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/helloworld/public/$1
	DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/helloworld/public
	<Directory /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/helloworld>
		Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
		DirectoryIndex index.php
		AllowOverride All
		Require all granted
	</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

• After creating all the directories and files, the directory structure should be similar as shown below.

helloworld
-- docker
   -- php
      -- Dockerfile
   -- apache
      -- Dockerfile
      -- helloworld.apache.conf
-- src
   -- <laravel app directories and files>
-- logs
   -- apache
-- docker-compose.yml 

• Next, we will install the Laravel project template files in the src directory using the command shown below.
• It's required for the first time for the fresh installation of Laravel.

Clear Directory

cd <path to project>/src

Install Laravel

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel:^8.0 helloworld

Output

Creating a "laravel/laravel:^8.0" project at "./helloworld" Installing laravel/laravel (v8.77.1)

Application key set successfully.

• The above command installs Laravel at /src/helloworld.

• Now, run the command docker-compose build to build the images for PHP and Apache Web Server.

• After completing the build, we can run the application using the command docker-compose up .
