How to configure /etc/host domain on OSX development machine

[jvv8]

Info:

• Docker version: Docker version 19.03.5
• System info (Mac):
• System info: Nginx

Issue:

After running docker-compose up -d nginx mysql phpmyadmin redis I can access the site through the browser with http://localhost
However, I plan on running several docker containers with different configurations in my development environment such as:
http://project-a.test
http://project-b.test

I've loaded Laradock within the project directory with git submodule add ... and gave a unique name in the .env file for 'COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME'

Created the conf file for the site in: docker-project/laradock-docker-project/nginx/sites/docker-project.conf
`

server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;

# For https
# listen 443 ssl;
# listen [::]:443 ssl ipv6only=on;
# ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/default.crt;
# ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/default.key;

server_name docker-project.test;
root /var/www/docker-project/public;
index index.php index.html index.htm;

location / {
     try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri /index.php =404;
    fastcgi_pass php-upstream;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_buffers 16 16k;
    fastcgi_buffer_size 32k;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    #fixes timeouts
    fastcgi_read_timeout 600;
    include fastcgi_params;
}

location ~ /\.ht {
    deny all;
}

location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
    root /var/www/letsencrypt/;
    log_not_found off;
}

error_log /var/log/nginx/docker-project_error.log;
access_log /var/log/nginx/docker-project_access.log;

}
`

Using OSX, I edited /etc/hosts which is also running homestead for some previous projects:

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1       docker-project.test
192.168.10.10       homestead-app.test

Visiting http://localhost pulls up the docker-project
Visiting http://docker-project.test results in '404 Not Found (nginx)'

---

Expected behavior:

Visiting http://docker-project.test should pull up the docker project served with nginx

Unfortunately, the only way to access the development site is with "http://localhost" which limits the ability to develop multiple websites with laradock.

What am I missing?

Check that root /var/www/docker-project/public; of your VH file is really pointing to the Laravel public folder!

Thanks, edited .env

# Point to where the `APP_CODE_PATH_HOST` should be in the container
APP_CODE_PATH_CONTAINER=/var/www/docker-project

And it now docker-project.test pulls up.
