  • username: root
  • password: pass
• Create a new database to use it on DB_DATABASE.
• Copy and paste the .env.example content into .env and set the following:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST= # Set this to the output of `docker network inspect bridge | grep Gateway`
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=# Set this to your Database name
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=pass

You can use the following command to access the web container's command line which would allow you to use npm, composer...

docker exec -it web bash

Composer Install as an example:

docker exec -it web bash
composer install

How do I add PHP libraries?

Use the web/Dockerfile's RUN section to add and install any necessary PHP libraries don't forget to rebuild and rerun after any changes to the settings:

docker-compose up --build

How do I Change PHP.ini settings?

Use the web/php.ini's file to add or change any ini settings:

docker-compose up --build

How do I change the version of PHP or MySQL

Changing the FROM version in web/Dockerfile or mysql/Dockerfile and then rebuilding and running the container again would result in a change of the versions in the environment.

Important Note:

To track changes on the web/src file you have to remove the src line from the .gitignore and refresh it.
