Laradock
Laradock is a Docker PHP development environment. It facilitate running PHP Apps on Docker.
Use Docker first and learn about it later.
Intro
Laradock strives to make the PHP development experience easier and faster.
It contains pre-packaged Docker Images that provides you a wonderful development environment without requiring you to install PHP, NGINX, MySQL, REDIS, and any other software on your machines.
Laradock is configured to run Laravel Apps by default, and it can be modified to run all kinds of PHP Apps (Symfony, CodeIgniter, Wordpress, Drupal...).

What is Docker?
Docker is an open-source project that automates the deployment of applications inside software containers, by providing an additional layer of abstraction and automation of operating-system-level virtualization on Linux, Mac OS and Windows.
Why Docker not Vagrant!?
Vagrant creates Virtual Machines in minutes while Docker creates Virtual Containers in seconds.
Instead of providing a full Virtual Machines, like you get with Vagrant, Docker provides you lightweight Virtual Containers, that share the same kernel and allow to safely execute independent processes.
In addition to the speed, Docker gives tons of features that cannot be achieved with Vagrant.
Most importantly Docker can run on Development and on Production (same environment everywhere). While Vagrant is designed for Development only, (so you have to re-provision your server on Production every time).
Laradock VS Homestead (For Laravel Developers)
Laradock It's like Laravel Homestead but for Docker instead of Vagrant.
Laradock and Homestead both give you complete virtual development environments. (Without the need to install and configure every single software on your own Operating System).
-
Homestead is a tool that controls Vagrant for you (using Homestead special commands). And Vagrant manages your Virtual Machine.
-
LaraDock is a tool that controls Docker for you (using Docker & Docker Compose official commands). And Docker manages your Virtual Containers.
Running a virtual Container is much faster than running a full virtual Machine. Thus LaraDock is much faster than Homestead.

Requirements
Installation
Choose the setup the best suits your needs.
A) Setup for Single Project:
(In case you want a Docker environment for each project)
A.1) Setup environment in existing Project:
(In case you already have a project, and you want to setup an environment to run it)
1 - Clone this repository on your project root directory:
git submodule add https://github.com/LaraDock/laradock.git
If you are not already using Git for your PHP project, you can use
git clone
instead ofgit submodule
.
Note: In this case the folder structure will be like this:
- project1
- laradock
- project2
- laradock
A.2) Setup environment first then create project:
(In case you don't have a project, and you want to create your project inside the Docker environment)
1 - Clone this repository anywhere on your machine:
git clone https://github.com/LaraDock/laradock.git
Note: In this case the folder structure will be like this:
- projects
- laradock
- myProject
2 - Edit the docker-compose.yml
file to map to your project directory once you have it (example: - ../myProject:/var/www
).
3 - Stop and re-run your docker-compose command for the changes to take place.
docker-compose stop && docker-compose up -d XXXX YYYY ZZZZ ....
B) Setup for Multiple Projects:
1 - Clone this repository anywhere on your machine:
git clone https://github.com/LaraDock/laradock.git
2 - Edit the docker-compose.yml
file to map to your projects directories:
applications:
image: tianon/true
volumes:
- ../project1/:/var/www/project1
- ../project2/:/var/www/project2
3 - You can access all sites by visiting http://localhost/project1/public
and http://localhost/project2/public
but of course that's not very useful so let's setup nginx quickly.
4 - Go to nginx/sites
and copy sample.conf.example
to project1.conf
then to project2.conf
5 - Open the project1.conf
file and edit the server_name
and the root
as follow:
server_name project1.dev;
root /var/www/project1/public;
Do the same for each project project2.conf
, project3.conf
,...
6 - Add the domains to the hosts files.
127.0.0.1 project1.dev
7 - Create your project Databases. Right now you have to do it manually by entering your DB container, until we automate it soon.
Usage
Read Before starting:
If you are using Docker Toolbox (VM), do one of the following:
- Upgrade to Docker Native for Mac/Windows (Recommended). Check out Upgrading Laradock
- Use LaraDock v3.* (Visit the
LaraDock-ToolBox
Branch).
Warning: If you used an older version of LaraDock it's highly recommended to rebuild the containers you need to use see how you rebuild a container in order to prevent errors as much as possible.
1 - Run Containers: (Make sure you are in the laradock
folder before running the docker-compose
commands).
Example: Running NGINX and MySQL:
docker-compose up -d nginx mysql
Note: The workspace
and php-fpm
will run automatically in most of the cases, so no need to specify them in the up
command. If you couldn't find them running then you need specify them as follow: docker-compose up -d nginx php-fpm mysql workspace
.
You can select your own combination of Containers form the list below:
nginx
, hhvm
, php-fpm
, mysql
, redis
, postgres
, mariadb
, neo4j
, mongo
, apache2
, caddy
, memcached
, beanstalkd
, beanstalkd-console
, rabbitmq
, workspace
, phpmyadmin
, aerospike
, pgadmin
, elasticsearch
, rethinkdb
.
2 - Enter the Workspace container, to execute commands like (Artisan, Composer, PHPUnit, Gulp, ...).
docker-compose exec workspace bash
Alternativey, for Windows Powershell users: execute the following command to enter any running container:
docker exec -it {workspace-container-id} bash
Note: You can add --user=laradock
(example docker-compose exec --user=laradock workspace bash
) to have files created as your host's user. (you can change the PUID (User id) and PGID (group id) variables from the docker-compose.yml
).
3 - Edit your project configurations.
Open your .env
file and set the DB_HOST
to mysql
:
DB_HOST=mysql
If you want to use Laravel and you don't have it installed yet, see How to Install Laravel in a Docker Container.
4 - Open your browser and visit your localhost address (`http://localhost/`).
**Debugging**: if you are facing any problem here check the [Debugging](#debugging) section.
If you need a special support. Contact me, more details in the Help & Questions section.
## Documentation
List current running Containers
docker ps
You can also use the following command if you want to see only this project containers:
docker-compose ps
### Close all running Containers ```bash docker-compose stop ```
To stop single container do:
docker-compose stop {container-name}
### Delete all existing Containers ```bash docker-compose down ```
### Enter a Container (run commands in a running Container)
1 - First list the current running containers with docker ps
2 - Enter any container using:
docker-compose exec {container-name} bash
Example: enter MySQL container
docker-compose exec mysql bash
3 - To exit a container, type exit
.
### Edit default container configuration Open the `docker-compose.yml` and change anything you want.
Examples:
Change MySQL Database Name:
environment:
MYSQL_DATABASE: laradock
...
Change Redis defaut port to 1111:
ports:
- "1111:6379"
...
### Edit a Docker Image
1 - Find the dockerfile
of the image you want to edit,
example for mysql
it will be mysql/Dockerfile
.
2 - Edit the file the way you want.
3 - Re-build the container:
docker-compose build mysql
More info on Containers rebuilding here.
### Build/Re-build Containers
If you do any change to any dockerfile
make sure you run this command, for the changes to take effect:
docker-compose build
Optionally you can specify which container to rebuild (instead of rebuilding all the containers):
docker-compose build {container-name}
You might use the --no-cache
option if you want full rebuilding (docker-compose build --no-cache {container-name}
).
### Add more Software (Docker Images)
To add an image (software), just edit the docker-compose.yml
and add your container details, to do so you need to be familiar with the docker compose file syntax.
### View the Log files The Nginx Log file is stored in the `logs/nginx` directory.
However to view the logs of all the other containers (MySQL, PHP-FPM,...) you can run this:
docker logs {container-name}
Install PHP Extensions
Before installing PHP extensions, you have to decide whether you need for the FPM
or CLI
because each lives on a different container, if you need it for both you have to edit both containers.
The PHP-FPM extensions should be installed in php-fpm/Dockerfile-XX
. (replace XX with your default PHP version number).
The PHP-CLI extensions should be installed in workspace/Dockerfile
.
### Change the (PHP-FPM) Version By default **PHP-FPM 7.0** is running.
The PHP-FPM is responsible of serving your application code, you don't have to change the PHP-CLI version if you are planning to run your application on different PHP-FPM version.
7.0
to PHP 5.6
A) Switch from PHP 1 - Open the docker-compose.yml
.
2 - Search for Dockerfile-70
in the PHP container section.
3 - Change the version number, by replacing Dockerfile-70
with Dockerfile-56
, like this:
php-fpm:
build:
context: ./php-fpm
dockerfile: Dockerfile-70
...
4 - Finally rebuild the container
docker-compose build php-fpm
For more details about the PHP base image, visit the official PHP docker images.
7.0
or 5.6
to PHP 5.5
B) Switch from PHP We do not natively support PHP 5.5 anymore, but you can get it in few steps:
1 - Clone https://github.com/LaraDock/php-fpm
.
3 - Rename Dockerfile-56
to Dockerfile-55
.
3 - Edit the file FROM php:5.6-fpm
to FROM php:5.5-fpm
.
4 - Build an image from Dockerfile-55
.
5 - Open the docker-compose.yml
file.
6 - Point php-fpm
to your Dockerfile-55
file.
### Change the PHP-CLI Version By default **PHP-CLI 7.0** is running.
Note: it's not very essential to edit the PHP-CLI version. The PHP-CLI is only used for the Artisan Commands & Composer. It doesn't serve your Application code, this is the PHP-FPM job.
The PHP-CLI is installed in the Workspace container. To change the PHP-CLI version you need to edit the workspace/Dockerfile
.
Right now you have to manually edit the Dockerfile
or create a new one like it's done for the PHP-FPM. (consider contributing).
### Install xDebug
1 - First install xDebug
in the Workspace and the PHP-FPM Containers:
a) open the docker-compose.yml
file
b) search for the INSTALL_XDEBUG
argument under the Workspace Container
c) set it to true
d) search for the INSTALL_XDEBUG
argument under the PHP-FPM Container
e) set it to true
It should be like this:
workspace:
build:
context: ./workspace
args:
- INSTALL_XDEBUG=true
...
php-fpm:
build:
context: ./php-fpm
args:
- INSTALL_XDEBUG=true
...
2 - Re-build the containers docker-compose build workspace php-fpm
3 - Open laradock/workspace/xdebug.ini
and/or laradock/php-fpm/xdebug.ini
and enable at least the following configs:
xdebug.remote_autostart=1
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
For information on how to configure xDebug with your IDE and work it out, check this Repository.
### Start/Stop xDebug:
By installing xDebug, you are enabling it to run on startup by default.
To control the behavior of xDebug (in the php-fpm
Container), you can run the following commands from the LaraDock root folder, (at the same prompt where you run docker-compose):
- Stop xDebug from running by default:
./xdebugPhpFpm stop
. - Start xDebug by default:
./xdebugPhpFpm start
. - See the status:
./xdebugPhpFpm status
.
### Prepare LaraDock for Production
It's recommended for production to create a custom docker-compose.yml
file. For that reason, LaraDock is shipped with production-docker-compose.yml
which should contain only the containers you are planning to run on production (usage exampe: docker-compose -f production-docker-compose.yml up -d nginx mysql redis ...
).
Note: The Database (MySQL/MariaDB/...) ports should not be forwarded on production, because Docker will automatically publish the port on the host, which is quite insecure, unless specifically told not to. So make sure to remove these lines:
ports:
- "3306:3306"
To learn more about how Docker publishes ports, please read this excellent post on the subject.
### Setup Laravel and Docker on Digital Ocean
####Full Guide Here
Install Laravel from a Docker Container
1 - First you need to enter the Workspace Container.
2 - Install Laravel.
Example using Composer
composer create-project laravel/laravel my-cool-app "5.2.*"
We recommend using
composer create-project
instead of the Laravel installer, to install Laravel.
For more about the Laravel installation click here.
3 - Edit docker-compose.yml
to Map the new application path:
By default, LaraDock assumes the Laravel application is living in the parent directory of the laradock folder.
Since the new Laravel application is in the my-cool-app
folder, we need to replace ../:/var/www
with ../my-cool-app/:/var/www
, as follow:
application:
image: tianon/true
volumes:
- ../my-cool-app/:/var/www
...
4 - Go to that folder and start working..
cd my-cool-app
5 - Go back to the LaraDock installation steps to see how to edit the .env
file.
### Run Artisan Commands
You can run artisan commands and many other Terminal commands from the Workspace container.
1 - Make sure you have the workspace container running.
docker-compose up -d workspace // ..and all your other containers
2 - Find the Workspace container name:
docker-compose ps
3 - Enter the Workspace container:
docker-compose exec workspace bash
Add --user=laradock
(example docker-compose exec --user=laradock workspace bash
) to have files created as your host's user.
4 - Run anything you want :)
php artisan
Composer update
phpunit
### Use Redis
1 - First make sure you run the Redis Container (redis
) with the docker-compose up
command.
docker-compose up -d redis
2 - Open your Laravel's .env
file and set the REDIS_HOST
to redis
REDIS_HOST=redis
If you don't find the REDIS_HOST
variable in your .env
file. Go to the database configuration file config/database.php
and replace the default 127.0.0.1
IP with redis
for Redis like this:
'redis' => [
'cluster' => false,
'default' => [
'host' => 'redis',
'port' => 6379,
'database' => 0,
],
],
3 - To enable Redis Caching and/or for Sessions Management. Also from the .env
file set CACHE_DRIVER
and SESSION_DRIVER
to redis
instead of the default file
.
CACHE_DRIVER=redis
SESSION_DRIVER=redis
4 - Finally make sure you have the predis/predis
package (~1.0)
installed via Composer:
composer require predis/predis:^1.0
5 - You can manually test it from Laravel with this code:
\Cache::store('redis')->put('LaraDock', 'Awesome', 10);
### Use Mongo
1 - First install mongo
in the Workspace and the PHP-FPM Containers:
a) open the docker-compose.yml
file
b) search for the INSTALL_MONGO
argument under the Workspace Container
c) set it to true
d) search for the INSTALL_MONGO
argument under the PHP-FPM Container
e) set it to true
It should be like this:
workspace:
build:
context: ./workspace
args:
- INSTALL_MONGO=true
...
php-fpm:
build:
context: ./php-fpm
args:
- INSTALL_MONGO=true
...
2 - Re-build the containers docker-compose build workspace php-fpm
3 - Run the MongoDB Container (mongo
) with the docker-compose up
command.
docker-compose up -d mongo
4 - Add the MongoDB configurations to the config/database.php
configuration file:
'connections' => [
'mongodb' => [
'driver' => 'mongodb',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT', 27017),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'database'),
'username' => '',
'password' => '',
'options' => [
'database' => '',
]
],
// ...
],
5 - Open your Laravel's .env
file and update the following variables:
- set the
DB_HOST
to yourmongo
. - set the
DB_PORT
to27017
. - set the
DB_DATABASE
todatabase
.
6 - Finally make sure you have the jenssegers/mongodb
package installed via Composer and its Service Provider is added.
composer require jenssegers/mongodb
More details about this here.
7 - Test it:
- First let your Models extend from the Mongo Eloquent Model. Check the documentation.
- Enter the Workspace Container.
- Migrate the Database
php artisan migrate
.
### Use PhpMyAdmin
1 - Run the phpMyAdmin Container (phpmyadmin
) with the docker-compose up
command. Example:
# use with mysql
docker-compose up -d mysql phpmyadmin
# use with mariadb
docker-compose up -d mariadb phpmyadmin
2 - Open your browser and visit the localhost on port 8080: http://localhost:8080
### Use PgAdmin
1 - Run the pgAdmin Container (pgadmin
) with the docker-compose up
command. Example:
docker-compose up -d postgres pgadmin
2 - Open your browser and visit the localhost on port 5050: http://localhost:5050
### Use Beanstalkd
1 - Run the Beanstalkd Container:
docker-compose up -d beanstalkd
2 - Configure Laravel to connect to that container by editing the config/queue.php
config file.
a. first set beanstalkd
as default queue driver
b. set the queue host to beanstalkd : QUEUE_HOST=beanstalkd
beanstalkd is now available on default port 11300
.
3 - Require the dependecy package pda/pheanstalk using composer.
Optionally you can use the Beanstalkd Console Container to manage your Queues from a web interface.
1 - Run the Beanstalkd Console Container:
docker-compose up -d beanstalkd-console
2 - Open your browser and visit http://localhost:2080/
3 - Add the server
- Host: beanstalkd
- Port: 11300
4 - Done.
### Use ElasticSearch
1 - Run the ElasticSearch Container (elasticsearch
) with the docker-compose up
command:
docker-compose up -d elasticsearch
2 - Open your browser and visit the localhost on port 9200: http://localhost:9200
Install ElasticSearch Plugin
1 - Install the ElasticSearch plugin like delete-by-query.
docker exec {container-name} /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin install delete-by-query
2 - Restart elasticsearch container
docker restart {container-name}
### Use Selenium
1 - Run the Selenium Container (selenium
) with the docker-compose up
command. Example:
docker-compose up -d selenium
2 - Open your browser and visit the localhost on port 4444 at the following URL: http://localhost:4444/wd/hub
### Use RethinkDB
The RethinkDB is an open-source Database for Real-time Web (RethinkDB). A package (Laravel RethinkDB) is being developed and was released a version for Laravel 5.2 (experimental).
1 - Run the RethinkDB Container (rethinkdb
) with the docker-compose up
command.
docker-compose up -d rethinkdb
2 - Access the RethinkDB Administration Console http://localhost:8090/#tables for create a database called database
.
3 - Add the RethinkDB configurations to the config/database.php
configuration file:
'connections' => [
'rethinkdb' => [
'name' => 'rethinkdb',
'driver' => 'rethinkdb',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'rethinkdb'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT', 28015),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'test'),
]
// ...
],
4 - Open your Laravel's .env
file and update the following variables:
- set the
DB_CONNECTION
to yourrethinkdb
. - set the
DB_HOST
torethinkdb
. - set the
DB_PORT
to28015
. - set the
DB_DATABASE
todatabase
.
### Install CodeIgniter
To install CodeIgniter 3 on Laradock all you have to do is the following simple steps:
1 - Open the docker-compose.yml
file.
2 - Change CODEIGNITER=false
to CODEIGNITER=true
.
3 - Re-build your PHP-FPM Container docker-compose build php-fpm
.
### Change the timezone
To change the timezone for the workspace
container, modify the TZ
build argument in the Docker Compose file to one in the TZ database.
For example, if I want the timezone to be New York
:
workspace:
build:
context: ./workspace
args:
- TZ=America/New_York
...
We also recommend setting the timezone in Laravel.
### Adding cron jobs
You can add your cron jobs to workspace/crontab/root
after the php artisan
line.
* * * * * php /var/www/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
# Custom cron
* * * * * root echo "Every Minute" > /var/log/cron.log 2>&1
Make sure you change the timezone if you don't want to use the default (UTC).
### Access workspace via ssh
You can access the workspace
container through localhost:2222
by setting the INSTALL_WORKSPACE_SSH
build argument to true
.
To change the default forwarded port for ssh:
workspace:
ports:
- "2222:22" # Edit this line
...
### MySQL access from host
You can forward the MySQL/MariaDB port to your host by making sure these lines are added to the mysql
or mariadb
section of the docker-compose.yml
or in your environment specific Compose file.
ports:
- "3306:3306"
### MySQL root access
The default username and password for the root mysql user are root
and root
.
1 - Enter the mysql contaier: docker-compose exec mysql bash
.
2 - Enter mysql: mysql -uroot -proot
for non root access use mysql -uhomestead -psecret
.
3 - See all users: SELECT User FROM mysql.user;
4 - Run any commands show databases
, show tables
, select * from.....
.
### Change MySQL port
Modify the mysql/my.cnf
file to set your port number, 1234
is used as an example.
[mysqld]
port=1234
If you need MySQL access from your host, do not forget to change the internal port number ("3306:3306"
-> "3306:1234"
) in the docker-compose configuration file.
### Use custom Domain (instead of the Docker IP)
Assuming your custom domain is laravel.dev
1 - Open your /etc/hosts
file and map your localhost address 127.0.0.1
to the laravel.dev
domain, by adding the following:
127.0.0.1 laravel.dev
2 - Open your browser and visit {http://laravel.dev}
Optionally you can define the server name in the nginx configuration file, like this:
server_name laravel.dev;
### Enable Global Composer Build Install
Enabling Global Composer Install during the build for the container allows you to get your composer requirements installed and available in the container after the build is done.
1 - Open the docker-compose.yml
file
2 - Search for the COMPOSER_GLOBAL_INSTALL
argument under the Workspace Container and set it to true
It should be like this:
workspace:
build:
context: ./workspace
args:
- COMPOSER_GLOBAL_INSTALL=true
...
3 - Now add your dependencies to workspace/composer.json
4 - Re-build the Workspace Container docker-compose build workspace
### Install Prestissimo
Prestissimo is a plugin for composer which enables parallel install functionality.
1 - Enable Running Global Composer Install during the Build:
Click on this Enable Global Composer Build Install and do steps 1 and 2 only then continue here.
2 - Add prestissimo as requirement in Composer:
a - Now open the workspace/composer.json
file
b - Add "hirak/prestissimo": "^0.3"
as requirement
c - Re-build the Workspace Container docker-compose build workspace
### Install Node + NVM
To install NVM and NodeJS in the Workspace container
1 - Open the docker-compose.yml
file
2 - Search for the INSTALL_NODE
argument under the Workspace Container and set it to true
It should be like this:
workspace:
build:
context: ./workspace
args:
- INSTALL_NODE=true
...
3 - Re-build the container docker-compose build workspace
### Install Node + YARN
Yarn is a new package manager for JavaScript. It is so faster than npm, which you can find here.To install NodeJS and Yarn in the Workspace container:
1 - Open the docker-compose.yml
file
2 - Search for the INSTALL_NODE
and INSTALL_YARN
argument under the Workspace Container and set it to true
It should be like this:
workspace:
build:
context: ./workspace
args:
- INSTALL_NODE=true
- INSTALL_YARN=true
...
3 - Re-build the container docker-compose build workspace
### Install Linuxbrew
Linuxbrew is a package manager for Linux. It is the Linux version of MacOS Homebrew and can be found here. To install Linuxbrew in the Workspace container:
1 - Open the docker-compose.yml
file
2 - Search for the INSTALL_LINUXBREW
argument under the Workspace Container and set it to true
It should be like this:
workspace:
build:
context: ./workspace
args:
- INSTALL_LINUXBREW=true
...
3 - Re-build the container docker-compose build workspace
### Common Terminal Aliases When you start your docker container, Laradock will copy the `aliases.sh` file located in the `laradock/workspace` directory and add sourcing to the container `~/.bashrc` file.
You are free to modify the aliases.sh
as you see fit, adding your own aliases (or function macros) to suit your requirements.

I see a blank (white) page instead of the Laravel 'Welcome' page!
Run the following command from the Laravel root directory:
sudo chmod -R 777 storage bootstrap/cache
I see "Welcome to nginx" instead of the Laravel App!
Use http://127.0.0.1
instead of http://localhost
in your browser.
address already in use
or port is already allocated
I see an error message containing Make sure the ports for the services that you are trying to run (22, 80, 443, 3306, etc.) are not being used already by other programs on the host, such as a built in apache
/httpd

This error sometimes happens because your Laravel application isn't running on the container localhost IP (Which is 127.0.0.1). Steps to fix it:
- Option A
- Check your running Laravel application IP by dumping
Request::ip()
variable usingdd(Request::ip())
anywhere on your application. The result is the IP of your Laravel container. - Change the
DB_HOST
variable on env with the IP that you received from previous step.
- Check your running Laravel application IP by dumping
- Option B
- Change the
DB_HOST
value to the same name as the mysql docker container. The Laradock docker-compose file currently has this asmysql
- Change the
### Upgrading LaraDock
Moving from Docker Toolbox (VirtualBox) to Docker Native (for Mac/Windows). Requires upgrading LaraDock from v3.* to v4.*:
- Stop the docker vm
docker-machine stop {default}
- Install Docker for Mac or Windows.
- Upgrade LaraDock to
v4.*.*
(git pull origin master
) - Use LaraDock as you used to do:
docker-compose up -d nginx mysql
.
Note: If you face any problem with the last step above: rebuild all your containers
docker-compose build --no-cache
