Requirements

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Setup

1. Clone the repository.
2. Start the containers by running docker-compose up -d in the project root.
3. Install the composer packages by running docker-compose exec laravel composer install.
4. Access the Laravel instance on http://localhost (If there is a "Permission denied" error, run docker-compose exec laravel chown -R www-data storage).

Note that the changes you make to local files will be automatically reflected in the container.

Persistent database

If you want to make sure that the data in the database persists even if the database container is deleted, add a file named docker-compose.override.yml in the project root with the following contents.

version: "3.7"

services:
  mysql:
    volumes:
    - mysql:/var/lib/mysql

volumes:
  mysql:

Then run the following.

docker-compose stop \
  && docker-compose rm -f mysql \
  && docker-compose up -d
