Create a local Laravel dev environment with Docker

[@EzekielOladejo-f1u]

This is probably the only tutorial I have seen on dockerizing a Laravel application that is straight to the point and easy to understand. Thanks Andrew!!

[@aschmelyun]

I'm glad you liked it, that means a lot to me! You're welcome!

[@gordonrenfrew3632]

Thanks for this, I've been jumping around articles/videos and have ended up being tied in knots trying to get this to work on my local comp. This was a solid run through for getting up and running without getting too bogged down and it was lucid in its approach - additionally most other tutorials seem to skirt over the server config which you went through here. I rarely comment on YT videos but when i do it's to tell you simply that you deserve to have an excellent day.

[@resilientbit]

That's how a tutorial should be. To the point & not a single second wasted. Awesome! 👍

[@GKSchattenjaeger]

Sir, your guide was clear and concise, it provides a perfect starting point for those who learn easier from an audio presentation (and not only). Thank you.

[@compelledcatholic6341]

I know I'm commenting on an older video, but I just wanted to say thanks. This was very helpful. I thought I would stick my toes in the PHP waters just to check it out. I was struggling to find a good way to set up a dev environment without setting up a whole stack locally... not to mention, that it could then be the start point for a production branch (I found that video first). I watched dozens of videos that just referred to something like this or just glossed over the whole process. This video plus your deployment video completed the picture that I was missing in my mental model, with all the nuances of docker and compose to tie a bow on it.

[@KristherLouisVidal]

The best video on docker hands down! Please make a followup tutorial on how we can connect sequel pro with mysql and custom domain mapping.

[@aschmelyun]

You got it!

[@deepeshdhakal7476]

thank you this worked like magic. Not only learned how to make laravel work but also setting up webserver in general was a great learning experience.

[@laizenwar]

This is exactly what I was looking to know how to do. Thanks for the tutorial. Straight to the point

[@aschmelyun]

Awesome, I'm glad it helped! If there's any improvements I could make to this video since it's a bit old now, feel free to let me know!

[@hassanawodi5888]

One of the best tutorial on this! Well done. Straight forward and on point.

[@Mostaqmahmud]

Best one....best one...best one....!!!! I didn't get any clear understanding video like this. Thanks... Love you man... ❤

[@bricxcarasco4921]

This is a great tutorial man, it's very clear and easy to understand. Keep it up sir, from the Philippines.

[@hencoburger]

This was awesome! Helped me allot to get things up and running quickly.

[@FunkyToe369]

Could you explain the purpose of the SERVICE_TAGS and SERVICE_NAME? I don't see it listed in the mysql docker hub so I am not sure what it does.

[@AliasdHacker]

Well done, and very much appreciated. I just started a php project for the first time in about 10 years, this got me up and running very fast.

[@jahedhmahmud1448]

amazing tutorial, good pace to keep up with and just the right amount of information on every thing that is done (allowing us to google for further information if needed). Excellent keep up the great work!

[@winter-survivor]

You rely on having a PHP installation on the host machine to get Composer packages instead of installing Composer on the desired container via Dockerfile. Is this the recommended practice? Thanks for the tutorial, very helpful.

[@njtuts5818]

Brilliant presentation ......................... Thanks Andrew

[@tannercampbell]

Great Video Andrew!! Been looking for a great video Laravel setup in Docker and this was it!

[@dorsetdroneguy5804]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

[@maurotrotta1370]

Thanks Andrew! It was exactly what I was looking for!

[@tannercampbell]

@Andrew Schmelyun Do you know of a way to install composer directly inside the docker environment, instead of relying on the local machine version of composer to build the new larval project instance?

[@pauloafonsop.a1146]

I don't think this is a good thing... because I think you have to configure your environment in a distinct moment that you install / work with your versioned laravel project... you have to be able to download the laravel project at any moment of the project development, using for example a git clone ..., mainly when your project is already created and your environment is already configured and stable. So first of all you configure your docker-compose to build your enviroment, and then, in a paralel way, you create your laravel project. After that, whenever somebody joins in your team, that person clones your your laravel git repository and then build and up your docker environment. If you put the command to install a new laravel project using composer inside your docker, whenever you build your container you create a new laravel project, that I don't think this is a good idea. Your docker-compose is to you create and up your environment...

[@chrisdedavid1860]

4:00 I wish you had explained "volumes:" a bit more. I don't understand what that is defining, and why you set those 2 directories.

[@imazumder99]

Thank you so much for this video. Easy to understand. Short and to the point.

[@AkeelAmeen]

Great tutorial, Simply explained! Thank you for this

[@tictechstory7979]

This is what I am looking for, Great work Man👏

[@stephenkaruku8384]

Thankyou man...this video is exactly what I was looking for

[@luongkhang1462]

Thank you so much for this. Even watching your clip it cost me whole day to do, can't imagine without this clip how much time i will cost T.T

[@dantharx]

Excellent Video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Did I miss the part where the database was created (before the migration at the end)?

[@GagandeepSingh-op8mb]

Still the biggest problem I face here is when we do composer install outside docker, we are still relying on local php version. Like I need php > 7.2 on the machine(not inside docker) to install laravel 7. Please correct me if I am wrong and let me know if there is any solution for this.

[@TricoliciSerghei]

Thank you Andrew, I love you (figuratively)!!

[@rahulxcr]

Thanks. This is a great tutorial, simple and to the point.

[@rogerpence]

This is a very helpful video. But one thing is bugging me! You ran composer locally, correct? Why? I don't have, nor do I want, PHP and composer installed locally. Couldn't you use docker-compose exec into the PHP container to run compose create-project? (if the PHP container doesn't have composer installed, you could do that in your Dockerfile.)

[@aschmelyun]

You're 100% correct! I just happen to have composer and PHP installed locally on my machine for installing packages + running create-project, but if you wanted you could offload that entire functionality to your docker containers. The best method would be to create a new container in your docker-compose file built off of the Composer image. This SO thread has a lot of great info in it: stackoverflow.com/questions/48127851/how-to-use-composer-with-docker-compose

[@rogerpence]

Andrew Schmelyun Thank you, Andrew. Ive been using Docker for a while now but you turned on several light bulbs for me.

[@paradiseofcreativity]

This is great, out of the box. Really helped me a lot. You're a life saver..

[@dennyrachmadi1391]

Thank you for this. clear as glass

[@gayanhewa]

Good stuff, I like the format you have used to explain each step as you go through them. I hadn't used docker-compose in a while and wanted a refresher to get it sorted for my local projects. This was more than enough to refresh my memory. +1

[@aschmelyun]

Thank you so much Gayan, comments like this are what keeps me going!

[@CalicoArchives]

Thanks for making this video. Very well explained and easy to follow. Subscribed.

[@MelissaKippPlusHomeschool]

I followed the instruction and got to 11:45 in the video composer 'create-project laravel/laravel . ' I got an error back and I can't seem to find a solution. "Project directory ./ is not empty." Does anyone know how to get this resolved?

[@aschmelyun]

Hi Melissa! Check that directory, by default there's a README.md file in it, you'll need to remove that before continuing. Sorry that wasn't explicit in the video!

[@kazemmirzaei217]

Thank you so much, Awesome!!! Could you explain what should I do in production mode? and Isn't it better to go with Laradock?

[@saeed90411]

every command worked😄it was very helpful. but I do not understand two things, how is composer working in php container? we do not have composer installed in there. and after that , how we do not need rebuild for docker-compose after changes?

[@arshchoudhary5198]

Well done Andrew, I have a query how can we setup multiple laravel environment with docker?

[@atipatlorwongam]

This way you'll still have to install "composer" onto the host machine, in order to create project in the src directory right? is there any dockerized way around that?

[@AlejandroDeLuca]

Great explanation. Thanks!

[@soduno596]

Thank you so much. You made me understand docker :)

[@aschmelyun]

Glad I could help!

Can you also add redis for cache and background processes

Definitely! I'll keep that in mind for a future video 🙂

Hi, leva. Are you able to run laravel app using docker?

[@biltong1683]

This was a great video, thank you! I am new to both Laravel and Docker and I was looking for a simple way to setup my environment without using homestead. I was going to use Laradock but it got way too messy. This was so much cleaner and easier to use. I did run into one issue though, when trying to set up authentication it did not load the pages correctly, I assume this is because it uses VueJS. How do I get the packages installed in the container to get this to work correctly?

[@aschmelyun]

Are you using vue-router in History mode?

[@jacobward8851]

So I did everything as shown and everything seemed to have worked but what I do notice is the docker container nginx doesn't stay up it always shows that it was exited when I run docker ps -a any idea why that would be?

[@aschmelyun]

What's the output if you just run "docker-compose up nginx" without the -d flag or anything else?

[@vladvald864]

Hey, nice video, but I have a question: why does it take so much time to make a simple request/response (im not good at this stuff, but when im using xampp, time is incomparably small, so im not sure how to use docker for development).
