Docker with Laravel Starter
This repository contains a docker configuration ready to work with Laravel for the backend and React with TypeScript for our frontend plus TailwindCSS as our CSS framework.
Getting up and running
The first thing we need to do is to clone the repository.
$ git clone https://github.com/jeduardofr/docker-laravel-starter example
After that we need to copy .env.example to .env to set our database credentials
that will be use when starting the containers.
$ cp .env.example .env
We have one extra variable related to the database which is DB_ROOT_PASSWORD.
Once this is done, we can proceed to start the container and install all the
composer dependencies for our project.
$ docker-compose up -d
$ docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app composer install
Since root is use to install all the dependencies, we need to change the owner
of the vendor folder as the one we're currently using.
$ sudo chown $USER:$USER -R .
If you're using the frontend with React you will need to install all the
NPM dependencies with:
$ docker-compose exec app npm install
And that's all related to the basic setup.
