Base Docker Setup for PHP 7.4 + FPM & NGINX & MariaDB

Instructions

Add Laravel

• cd .
• git clone https://github.com/laravel/laravel.git laravel

Or you can bring over an existing laravel application

Update Dockerfile

• set your project root appropriately
• Volumes are your persistent data, you will not lose them on shutdowns, only if you prune the volume
• Mount your local code to the volume so that you can make changes from your local machine

Docker-compose.yml

• This file defines the build process. If your setup requires a custom image, create a seperate Dockerfile so that you can include your neccessary build steps there.
• The image, if built from a Dockerfile will need to one you create, use your own username/new-image-name as a general naming convention
• Be sure to update the php74 image name

Helpful Commands

• docker-compose up ( brings up the containers and shows output in the terminal )

• docker-compose up --build ( rebuilds any changes made to the Dockerfile )

• docker-compose up -d ( brings up the containers in detached mode, so you can use your terminal for other things )

• docker-compose down ( brings them down )

• docker ps ( lists all your active containers and get their id's )

• docker exec -it {containerId} /bin/bash ( ssh into your container )
