Laravel Application using Docker and Docker Compose

You need to have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your server to proceed using this PHP environment.

This is a PHP development environment used to run Laravel applications. The following three separate service containers will be used:

1. An app service running PHP7.4-FPM.
2. A DB service running MySQL:8.0.
3. An nginx:1.17-alpine service.

Running the application

• To get started, set up your application in the root directory.
• Set the environment variables, creating a `.env` file. See the MySQL service section below for more information.
• Build the app image with the following command:

 git clone [e-mail]:ramezshawky/laravel-docker-app.git
  
 docker compose build -t travellist-app

• When the build is finished, you can run the environment in background mode with:

  docker compose up -d

• To show information about the state of your active services, run:

  docker compose ps

The environment is now up and running, but you still need to execute a couple commands to finish setting up the Laravel application. You can use the docker compose exec command to execute commands in the service containers, such as a ls -l to show detailed information about files in the application directory:

  docker compose exec app ls -l

Generate a unique application key with the Artisan Laravel command-line tool. This key is used to encrypt user sessions and other sensitive data:

  docker compose exec app php artisan key:generate

• Now go to your browser and access your server’s domain name or IP address on port (8000) :

    http://localhost:8000

• If you want to pause your Docker Compose environment while keeping the state of all its services, run:

   docker compose pause

• You can then resume your services with:

    docker compose unpause
