### What is LaraDock?
**LaraDock** helps you run your **Laravel** App on **Docker** in seconds.
LaraDock strives to make the development experience easier.
It contains pre-packaged Docker Images that provides you a wonderful development environment without requiring you to install PHP, NGINX, MySQL, REDIS, and any other software on your local machine.

[Docker](https://www.docker.com) is an open-source project that automates the deployment of applications inside software containers, by providing an additional layer of abstraction and automation of [operating-system-level virtualization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating-system-level_virtualization) on Linux, Mac OS and Windows.

### Why Docker not Vagrant?! ### Why Docker not Vagrant!?
[Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com) gives you Virtual Machines in minutes while Docker gives you Linux Containers in seconds. [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com) gives you Virtual Machines in minutes while Docker gives you Linux Containers in seconds.
Instead of providing a full Virtual Machines, like you get with Vagrant, Docker provides you **lightweight** Virtual Containers, that share the same kernel and allow to safely execute independent processes.

### What's next?
LaraDock strives to make the development experience easier.
And it is inspired by [Laravel Homestead](http://laravel.com/docs/master/homestead).
*In the near future LaraDock will become a stand-alone package that manages your Docker Virtual Containers as Homestead does with your Vagrant Virtual Machines.*

## Tutorial
What's better than a quick [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YQsHe6oF80) ;)
<a name="Usage"></a> <a name="Usage"></a>
## Usage ## Usage
1 - First clone the project 1 - First install any version of Laravel, or use any of your existing Laravel projects.
2 - Open your terminal and go to your Laravel project directory.
3 - Create a new folder on the root directory of your Laravel project and name it `docker` then go into it.
```bash ```bash
git clone https://github.com/LaraDock/laradock laradock mkdir docker && cd $_
``` ```
2 - Inside `laradock` there are 2 directories (Laravel and Docker) let's start with Laravel 3 - Clone the LaraDock repository inside that `docker` folder.
```bash ```bash
cd laradock/laravel git clone https://github.com/LaraDock/laradock.git .
``` ```
3 - Install the Composer packages 4 - Find your Docker IP address.
```bash - If you are on Linux OS: your IP Address is `127.0.0.1` because the containers run directly on your localhost.
composer install - If you are on MAC or Windows OS and using the **docker-machine**: start your docker machine then type `docker-machine ip {VM-Name}` to get your IP Address. *(Default is 192.168.99.100)*
``` - If you are on MAC or Windows OS and using **boot2docker**: type `boot2docker ip` when boot2docker is up, to get your IP Address.
4 - On laravel's root directory `laradock/laravel`, rename the file `.env.docker` to `.env` 5 - Open your hosts file `/etc/hosts`.
```bash
sudo mv .env.docker .env
```
5 - Provide some permissions (directories should be writable by the web server)
```bash
sudo chmod -R 777 storage && sudo chmod -R 777 bootstrap/cache
```
6 - Now let's start with the Docker stuff
```bash
cd ../docker
```
7 - Edit the hosts file `/etc/hosts` on your machine, to map your `Docker IP` to the `laravel.dev` domain
```bash ```bash
sudo nano /etc/hosts sudo nano /etc/hosts
``` ```
`127.0.0.x laravel.dev` 6 - Map your `Docker IP` to the `laravel.dev` domain, by adding the following to the `hosts` file.
```bash
> To find the IP address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx laravel.dev
>
> - if you are on Linux, the containers run directly on your localhost so this `127.0.0.1` will be your IP Address.
> - if you are on MAC and using **boot2docker**, type `boot2docker ip` when boot2docker is up.
> - if you are on MAC and using **docker-machine**, type `docker-machine ip {VM-Name}` after starting a virtual machine.
> - if you are on Windows, check the Docker documentation for how you get the VM IP Address.
8 - Additional step for `Docker-Machine` users only. *(Skip this if you are not using `Docker-Machine`)*:
a. Edit this file `docker/docker-compose.yml`
b. Uncomment:
```yaml
# extra_hosts:
# - "laravel.dev:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
``` ```
c. Replace `xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx` with your the VM IP address.
Don't forget to replace the `xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx` with your Docker IP Address.
9 - Finally run the containers and start coding. 7 - Open `docker-compose.yml` file and replace the `xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx` with your Docker IP Adress as well.
*"Note: Only the first you run this command will take up to 7 minutes (depend on your connection speed) to download the images to your local machine, Only once in life.* 8 - Open your Laravel's `.env` file and set the `DB_HOST` and the `REDIS_HOST` to `laravel.dev` instead of the default `127.0.0.1`.
```env
DB_HOST=laravel.dev
REDIS_HOST=laravel.dev
```
9 - Finally run the containers to start coding.
```bash ```bash
docker-compose up -d docker-compose up -d
``` ```
*"Note: Only the first time you run this command, it will take up to 7 minutes (depend on your connection speed) to download the images to your local machine, Only once in life.*
10 - Open your browser and visit `http://laravel.dev` 10 - Open your browser and visit `http://laravel.dev`

> Debugging: if you faced an error, it might be that you forget to provide some permissions for Laravel, so try running the following command on the Laravel rood directory:
`sudo chmod -R 777 storage && sudo chmod -R 777 bootstrap/cache`

#### Delete an Image (remove the unused software) #### Remove Container
To delete an image (software), just edit the `laradock/docker/docker-compose.yml` file. To prevent a container (software) from running, open the `docker-compose.yml` file, and comment out the container section or remove it entirely.
**Example:** Assume you want to remove the `Beanstalkd` Container.
Open the `docker-compose.yml` file, and comment out the `beanstalkd` section:
```yml

# beanstalkd:
# image: laradock/beanstalkd:latest
# container_name: beanstalkd
