Start the container with volume mounting

docker run -d -p 80:80 --volume $PWD:/var/www/html kuix/laravel:8.x

Development

If you have an existing project and you want to use MySQL as well then just create a docker-compose.yml in your project directory with the following contents:

version: "3"
services:
  app:
    image: kuix/laravel:8.x
    volumes:
      - ./:/var/www/html
      - /var/www/html/vendor/
      - /var/www/html/node_modules/
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"
    env_file:
      - .env
  database:
    image: mysql:8
    command: --default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
    environment:
      MYSQL_DATABASE: default
    ports:
      - "3306:3306"
    env_file:
      - .env

Add the MySQL credentials in your .env file and setup the Laravel's database credentials. The MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD value is an extra value what is necessary to MySQL initalization.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=database
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=default
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD="ExamplePassword123!"
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD="ExamplePassword123!"

And hit the following command in the project's directory: docker-compose up -d
