Docker for Laravel

The source code for docker-for-laravel.com

Why docker-for-laravel.com?

I have a laravel application, I want to dockerize my app and deploy on production. I have some questions like

1. What is the best way to create an optimal image for Laravel App.
2. Should I have nginx and php in the same docker image.
3. Should I have different containers running for web, scheduler, queues, etc.
4. What is the best strategy to plan dockerization of app?

Requirements

The following tools are required in order to start the installation.

• PHP 8.3
• composer
• npm

Installation

1. Clone this repository git clone git@github.com:codeat3/docker-for-laravel.com.git
2. Copy .env.example file to '.env`
3. Install the PHP dependencies with composer install
4. Generate a new app key with php artisan key:generate
5. Install and compile the front-end dependencies with npm install && npm run dev
6. Serve the website locally by running php artisan serve

You can now visit the app in your browser by visiting http://127.0.0.1:8000.

Contribution

If you have any good resources which can help a laravel developer get the dockerized setup on production. Create a PR and add the resource to app/Models/DockerResource.php.

The format of the resource should be as follows

[
    'id' => 4,
    'author' => 'Author Name',
    'social_handle' =>  'social handle link',
    'title' => 'title of the resource',
    'link' => 'link of the resource'
],
