frontalnugity/docker

A generic docker configuration for all web projects intended for sterotypical web app development in Laravel under a TALL stack.

Dependencies:

Intended as a clean setup for typical laravel/php development:

• Nginx
• MySQL 8.0
• PHP 8.

Installation / Usage

Clone it into your project as /docker using the command below and modify the configuration files per your preference.

git clone [email protected]:frontalnugity/docker

This will include the docker config as a sub-module to your project. If you wish to add it to your parent github repo as just code, you can disconnect the submodule dependency by running

rm -rf .git

Database and mysql settings are specified in .env. If you are using this in a Laravel environment, run the following command to update the env settings to reference values in your laravel .env

rm .env; 
ln -s ../.env .env;

The docker-compose.yml file uses a generic network name, prior to running docker compose up it is recommend you replace qqnetworkname with a more descriptive name for your project.

Setup assumes that your working directory (inside your containers) for your web-app will be:

/application

Persistent data (MySql, associated logs ) will be created/stored in:

/.local_docker

Application Log files will be remapped to:

/storage/logs

Don't forget to update your /etc/hosts file to include references to your hostname you wish to use for local development - ie I currently use:

127.0.0.1 local.{applicationName}.{tld}           // reference to the application instance (php/nginx)
127.0.0.1 local.{applicationName}.mysql           // reference to the mysql instance

Summary

VERY MUCH A WORK IN PROGRESS
