Laravel 5.8 with a Docker PHP Image

A demo repo for deploying a Laravel PHP application on Render using Docker. You can follow the getting started tutorial here.

Deployment

1. Create a new PostgreSQL database on Render and copy the internal DB URL to use below.

2. Fork this repo to your own GitHub account.

3. Create a new Web Service on Render, and give Render's GitHub app permission to access your new repo.

4. Select Docker for the environment, and add the following environment variable under the Advanced section:

   Key	Value
   DATABASE_URL	The internal connection string for the database you created above.
   DB_CONNECTION	pgsql
   APP_KEY	Copy the output of php artisan key:generate --show

That's it! Your Laravel 5.8 app will be live on your Render URL as soon as the build finishes. You can test it out by registering and logging in.
