Setting Up Laravel with Sail | Learn Laravel The Right Way

[@Zubbee]

Hi Gio, thanks a lot for this lesson. Back when I was going through the "learn PHP the right way" series, I struggled a lot cause I had a low capacity laptop (it's still a miracle how I learnt and wrote code with it). I also made some of the mistakes you highlighted in this lesson, like saving the files outside the WSL Linux distribution. I finally got a much more powerful laptop (Thank God) but since I already started a project using composer and laragon on my local machine, I had to continue. Thankfully, this lesson is now taking back to docker style development. Thanks a lot Gio.

[@ProgramWithGio]

Awesome, glad you are following along this course as well

[@Zubbee]

Most definitely Gio.

[@fakerealnews1]

Good start, looking forward the rest of the series.

Thanks to you I am using Docker and WSL-ubuntu now :)

[@ProgramWithGio]

yay, happy to hear

[@Darius-e3l]

Thanks Gio. For some reason the docker install didn't work on my Mac, but I did install it via composer on my server. Can't wait for part #4.

[@ProgramWithGio]

Glad you got it working in the end

Very Nice Start Bro 💙

Thanks

Excellent content! Thank You!

Thank you

I use this exact setup in work, windows wsl and laravel sail~~ Hope you can teach me plenty :D

Thank you 💙

[@GamersPunjabi]

Thank You. I'm learning it with you

[@ProgramWithGio]

Happy to hear, you're welcome

[@Netvirux]

Thank You sir ❤

You're welcome

[@TurntableTV]

Great stuff, Mr. Gio! Thank you so much! I'm curious: will this also be a project based course or just an overview of the framework?

[@ProgramWithGio]

@@TurntableTV first concepts, then we'll work on project. Kind of like how we did with PHP series

[@AyoubWrks-nz7cy]

Thank you sir 🙌 🐘

[@ProgramWithGio]

You're welcome

Keep going please you are the best

Thank you

Hello Sir, I am currently using Sail on Ubuntu, but I'm encountering an issue: every time I use the artisan make:example command, I have to manually edit file permissions. Could you help me resolve this? Also, I want to thank you for all your hard work! I really enjoyed the last three series, and I’m looking forward to the new one.

[@ProgramWithGio]

You'll have to configure user & group in Dockerfile. Google the folder permissions issue in docker for Linux & you should be able to find some articles/tutorials around it

[@harmankaur8735]

good but if possible pl make some lengthy video so that we can learn more in one go. i believe atleast 15 or 20 min as your videos are engaging and one doesn't feel bored

[@ProgramWithGio]

@@harmankaur8735 longer videos will come a bit later depending on topic. There isn't much to cover with setting up Laravel with sail so that's why it's shorter. So some videos will be short and some long

[@TurntableTV]

If anyone is having difficulty setting this up on Windows and you get a message like "Docker is not running" when running the curl command, go to Docker settings -> Resources -> WSL integration and make sure you have "Enable integration with my default WSL distro" checked and if using the default Ubuntu image, turn on the "Ubuntu" option.

[@ProgramWithGio]

Great tip

[@abdiag603]

I have a dual boot for windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.04…..is it necessary going the docker way? Not near my machine but will try going the composer way since my machine has php and Apache already installed

[@ProgramWithGio]

Whatever is easier for you. You should be ok running it natively on Ubuntu

[@rustamergashev7278]

👍

[@ProgramWithGio]

👍👍

[@Neon8402]

for anyone can not resolve the error at the end of the video, just go to your .env and change the SESSION_DRIVER=file

[@ProgramWithGio]

Or run php artisan migrate. I believe I mentioned that at 6:30

[@Neon8402]

@@ProgramWithGio agree, however in my case I have to run php artisan make:session-table first, so I just change the SESSION_DRIVER

[@nawrozalialamdost5277]

Thanks gio, i wonna say does it possible to make a community in Discord or something else to engage and solve problems ❤

[@ProgramWithGio]

I have a discord channel already, though I'm not very active. If you DM me on X/Twitter I'll share the link

[@parijke]

Can you cover Sail with SSL support?

[@ProgramWithGio]

Thanks for the suggestion, maybe

[@CHSKnight]

​@ProgramWithGio yes please 🙏🏽

[@ballpen9157]

please set up docker desktop and wso2 as there are beginner that are watching :)

[@ProgramWithGio]

I would suggest to read up on it online or check another tutorial on wsl2/docker desktop. I also have another video in PHP series setting up PHP using wsl2, maybe you can check that. If its too complicated then start with something else like XAMPP or Laragon.

[@DelhikillerGamer]

what is wso2?

[@ProgramWithGio]

WSL2

sail didn't work. Used Herd to install. Seems to be fine. It gave me the option to install with Laravel Breeze or Laravel Jetstream but I assume we're not using a starter kit.

[@ProgramWithGio]

@@MobiusCoin yea not yet. Herd also uses SQLite by default i think, we'll use MySQL

[@MobiusCoin]

@@ProgramWithGio Will having a different DB be an issue?

[@ProgramWithGio]

@@MobiusCoin shouldn't be, you can use SQLite if you want. There might be few differences but we'll be using eloquent which abstracts most of that away

[@bashar9743]

3 let's go (:

[@ProgramWithGio]

More to come

[@pratikbhujel]

Can I use Xampp ? Instead of Sail I feel ease while using Xampp ?

[@ProgramWithGio]

Yea you should be able to use it

[@pratikbhujel]

@@ProgramWithGio, Thanks. :)

[@CHSKnight]

​@pratikbhujel have you successfully installed it?

[@pratikbhujel]

@@CHSKnight, Yep done .

[@CHSKnight]

@@pratikbhujel how did you manage? I struggled to get it to work

[@ballpen9157]

i'm lost, how to setup that ubuntu thing.

[@ProgramWithGio]

I would suggest to read up on it online or check another tutorial on wsl2/docker desktop. I also have another video in PHP series setting up PHP using wsl2, maybe you can check that. If its too complicated then start with something else like XAMPP or Laragon.

[@karlson2804]

Why just not make all in pure docker with full setup for dev,staging and prod with all cinfigs, styling and so on? All this tools are not good to use for staging and prod. Not any one talk about it ((

[@ProgramWithGio]

Because this course is not about docker, its about Laravel. And Laravel sail is one of the simplest ways to set up Laravel locally for development.

[@JohnnyBigodes]

It should be mentioned that sail is not production ready.

[@ProgramWithGio]

Sail is for development environment only, we are not at production or deployment stage yet.

[@SazianNULL]

I don't understand why people install Windows and then install Linux on it, instead of installing Linux normally

[@ShadiMuhammad]

WSL mentioned in the video is built-in feature in windows 11 to simulate Linux terminal

[@ProgramWithGio]

Windows has its perks & WSL is a great feature to be honest

[@SazianNULL]

Windows and great are not words that should appear next to each other 😆

[@SazianNULL]

But why simulate when you can use natively? It's good that M$ realizes that it made a bad system, but that's no reason to use it
