Prerequisites

This application includes a Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml file.

You will need to install docker either via CLI or using Docker Desktop

Environment Setup

Begin by building the docker images, you can do this via docker compose:

docker compose build

Then start the docker containers:

docker compose up

Once the containers have successfuly started, you can access the container using docker compose exec:

docker compose exec interview bash

We will need to install our composer dependencies inside the container:

composer install

Then, copy the example environment file to create your own local copy:

cp .env.example .env

Next, generate a new key to use for encryption:

php artisan key:generate

Finally, run the database migrations:

php artisan migrate

At this stage you should be able to access the Laravel application at localhost:9090

While working inside the container with docker compose exec we can run our Laravel tests:

php artisan test

Warning: require(/var/www/public/../vendor/autoload.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/public/index.php on line 13

Refer to the Laravel heading above, ensure you have run the composer install command inside the container
