Create a local Laravel dev environment with Docker

[@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! 👍

[@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!

[@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!

[@aschmelyun]

In case you haven't seen it, it's out now! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pauuqYqppM-MgJY

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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...

[@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.

[@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.

[@hassanawodi5888]

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

[@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!

[@FaizanAnwerAli]

You can make couple of videos with docker-compose and Laravel. 1. Memcached for caching. 2. Redis connection for session. 3. Media storage 4. Local ssl 5. Deployment on cloud. Including Heroku, AWS and Google Cloud. 6. Php Ratchet socket connection app in docker. I have been looking for these for last 4 months. Just subscribed to keep my self updated on these videos if you upload them

[@tannercampbell]

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

[@hencoburger]

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

[@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.

[@tictechstory7979]

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

[@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

[@emblemcc]

No matter how I tried I made so many typos :) but now I"m more familiar with the syntax .. thanks a lot

[@njtuts5818]

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

[@imazumder99]

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

[@maurotrotta1370]

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

[@willyboy1985]

For those having issues with the storage/logs/laravel.log permission, add those 3 lines to the Dockerfile RUN echo dl-2.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/ >> /etc/apk/repositories RUN apk --no-cache add shadow && usermod -u 1000 www-data && groupmod -g 1000 www-data RUN chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html - 1st line downloads a package to allow alpine to use the command `usermod` - 2nd line uses usermod command to add user www-data and group www-data to the user ID 1000 and group ID 1000 - 3rd line changes the owner and group of the project folder to www-data

[@dotancohen]

I'm a bit torn about this solution. The problem is that the UID and GID of files inside the volume must be the same values as the UID and GID outside the volume, on the host. This solution forces the www-data UID and GID to match a common UID and GID. It will work for most users, but it's a workaround with faults that will be difficult to work around later. If I come up with a way to set the UID and GID in the volume independent of their values on the host, I'll post back.

[@willyboy1985]

@@dotancohen Many large docker projects such as Laradock have 1000 hardcoded in their dokcerfiles for uid and gid. I am not saying that they are necessarily right to do so, but it does seem like having 1000 as your ID on your own machine is "almost-certainly-always" the case. If you are that concerned about ID disparities, you can set some `args` in your docker-compose such as UID: 1000 GID: 1000, and pass them dynamically in the Dockerfile.

[@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!

[@siliconmachine]

This is great! I hope you upload more content like this. Been fighting with it for a couple of hours and you made it super clear. I'd just suggest you add the link to the repository :) Thank you!

[@aschmelyun]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it! Not sure if you saw it in the other comments, but the repo is github.com/aschmelyun/docker-compose-laravel

[@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

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

[@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?

Thank you so much. I tested this. after running docker-compose up -d, php and mysql and nginx are done but localhost:8088 is not running and return "Unable to connect". What is the problem?

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?

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

if you use the Compose docker, can we use more than 1 program, or only for 1 program only?

[@skipydie]

Hi. One question: Why do we need a php container separated from the nginx web server and why it works? Im used to work with Apache and instaling the php there

[@aschmelyun]

PHP is synchronous, it can only handle one request at a time. This is why we use web server applications like Nginx or Apache, they enable multiple streams of traffic to be divided into different PHP threads, handling concurrency.

[@gjvidz]

Hey Andrew, quick question. Do you need to have composer installed in you local machine to create a new laravel project or we’re you able to use composer from the php container?

[@aschmelyun]

Hey John! You can use the PHP container if you install it as a dependency, but you should check out the GitHub repo pinned. I just updated it with info to use Composer to install Laravel from scratch without having to have it installed locally!
