  • Docker for Mac: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/#/download-docker-for-mac

• Visit https://github.com/FramgiaDockerTeam/laravel-microservices for other information
• Clone Laravel Quick Start Project at https://github.com/laravel/quickstart-basic

git clone git@github.com:laravel/quickstart-basic.git

• Move to the project folder and creat a file named docker-compose.yml. Copy data from https://github.com/FramgiaDockerTeam/laravel-microservices/blob/master/docker-compose.yml into that file.

cd quickstart-basic
// You can download docker-compose.yml file using wget command
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FramgiaDockerTeam/laravel-microservices/master/docker-compose.yml

• Open .env file and change the DB_HOST and REDIS_HOST

...
// DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_HOST=mysql
...
// REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1
REDIS_HOST=redis

• chmod folder storage and bootstrap/cache

chmod -R 777 storage
chmod -R 777 bootstrap/cache

• Run docker and wait for about one minute

docker-compose up -d
// Run the following command to check docker status
docker ps

• Enter workspace container and run php commands (run only once when initialize the project)

docker exec -it project_workspace bash
composer install
php artisan migrate

• Enjoy the project at http://localhost:8000/
• To stop project, use docker-compose down. To start project, use docker-compose up -d
