Laravel Preset: Docker

Set up a Docker-based local development environment for your Laravel project with an artisan preset command.

What's Included

Default:

• PHP 7.2
• Nginx
• MySQL
• Node

Optional:

• Redis
• Mailhog

Prerequisites

You should have Docker installed on your machine and be familiar with docker-compose commands. Read an overview of the docker-compose CLI

Installation

1. Install the package via composer:

   composer require --dev mattwills23/laravel-preset-docker

2. Run the preset command with the docker option:

   php artisan preset docker

Usage

• You will interact with the environment using docker-compose commands
• Once your environment is running your application will be available at http://localhost

Basics

• Start the environment:

   docker-compose up -d

• Stop the environment:

   docker-compose down

• Use artisan:

   docker-compose exec app php artisan

• Use composer:

   docker-compose exec app composer

• Use npm:

   docker-compose exec node npm

• Run tests:

   docker-compose exec app phpunit

• See a list of available commands:

   docker-compose --help

Notes

I originally planned on releasing this as part of a Laravel project "starter" repo, containing a Laravel installation, this docker setup, my go-to packages, etc. Instead I'm going to break that repo down into multiple presets. This should be more useful to the community as you can then pick and choose which presets to use, and you'll be able to install this docker setup on projects already underway.

Be on the lookout for the the following presets that I plan on releasing:

• mattwills23/laravel-preset-docker
• mattwills23/laravel-preset-utilities
• mattwills23/laravel-preset-backend
• mattwills23/laravel-preset-frontend

And a "starter" preset which will install all of my presets in a single command.

• mattwills23/laravel-preset-starter
