More information

Web Root

The following folder is specified as the default root web folder:

/var/www/public

Note that the /var/www/public is the root folder for serving PHP files for your web server.

Example

$ docker run -p 3306:3306 --name my_mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -d mysql $ docker run -p 3306:3306 --name my_postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -d postgres

This will create a my_mysql or my_postgres image based on official mysql or postgres docker image.

docker run -p 80:80 -p 9000:9000 --name my_laravel -v ~/dev/laravel:/var/www --link my_mysql:mysqldb -d velmie/ubuntu-nginx-php7

This will create a docker image with name my_laravel linked to the MySQL container (my_mysql). Configue Laravel to connect to mysqldb host on .env file to access the database.

Now you can access your project on browser http://localhost

In the future to start the project again run:

docker start my_mysql my_laravel

To stop just run: docker stop my_laravel my_mysql

Build Folder (within repo)

Contains nginx config files (nginx.conf) as well the scripts to configure php-fpm nginx, also include setup.sh file that offloads tasks from the Dockerfile to reduce layers.

Databases

This image supports PostgreSQL and MySQL and/or MariaDB.

Timezone

The machine is configured to user UTC timezone. The Nginx configuration is ready to run a Laravel app.
