Test Laravel 8 with Docker

This provides a docker-based development environment to start working with Laravel.

Install Docker

Get Docker

App setup

cp .env.example .env
docker-compose up
docker-compose exec app composer install
docker-compose exec app php artisan key:generate
docker-compose exec app php artisan migrate
docker-compose exec front npm install && npm run dev

App

The app should be available via http://localhost:8000/.

MySQL

You can easily import a data dump into MySQL if you'd like to. The MySQL container will automatically will detect a dump in .docker/mysql/config/initdb directory, unpack and import it.

However, if you have already initialized the db container, then you will need to remove the data before import:

docker-compose down
rm -rf .docker/mysql/data
docker-compose up

You can connect to the DB from your host machine through 33060 port.
