Docker Compose Laravel Example

Code for a demo of Docker Compose I gave at a local meetup. See the accompanying slides.

Don't pay too much attention to the Laravel code. I chose Laravel because I could setup "complex" use cases (mail and queuing) with minimal effort.

Files of interest:

• docker-compose.yaml
• Dockerfile
• docker/nginx/nginx.conf

To start the application run docker-compose up --detach --build.

To test mail, open Mailhog and visit /mail.

To see queues in action, open the Horizon Dashboard and trigger a job by visiting /queue.

Run the app container with docker-compose run --rm app bash.
