Docker development environment

It is a docker development environment skeleton for a basic laravel application.

The docker container configurations and the main docker-compose.yml file are located in the .docker folder. There is a Makefile in the project root that automates the setup of the environment.

NOTE: Replace every occurrence of yourdomain string with your project name in this repository (filenames, file contents).

Write the following line to your hosts file

127.0.0.1 yourdomain.test

Use of the Makefile

• make or make help
  • Shows what commands are available
• make init
  • Do the initial docker setup (config, migration, asset generation and other basic steps could be added here)
• make run
  • Run the dev environment
• make composer
  • Install php dependencies
• make down or make stop
  • Shut down or stops the running containers and remove orphans
• make destroy
  • Do a big cleanup (Stop all containers, prune volumes, images, containers and remove vendor, node_modules folders)

After running make init you are ready to work on the project. With make down or make stop you can turn it off. Later you only need make run in order to get it up and running. See make help for further commands.

NOTE: Depending on the host platform, may the make down command remove database volume data.
