Setting up Laravel Projects using Vessel

Install Docker & docker-compose

Installing Docker

• Update the apt package index:

sudo apt-get update

• Install packages to allow apt to use a repository over HTTPS:

sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release -y

• Add Docker’s official GPG key:

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg

• Use the following command to set up the stable repository

echo \
  "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

• Install Docker Community Edition

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io -y

• Test Docker is installed or not

sudo docker run hello-world

Installing docker-compose

• Run this command to download the latest version of Docker Compose:

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

• Apply executable permissions to the binary:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

• Test the installation.

docker-compose --version

Note: You need to add the current user to the docker group

sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}

• Restart the container once

sudo init 6

Ensure you have the correct version of .env in your project directory before you perform the next steps

• Goto the cloned project directory & start the containers:

./vessel start

Adding Swap

sudo fallocate -l 1G /swapfile && sudo chmod 600 /swapfile && sudo mkswap /swapfile && sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak && echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
