A full PHP development environment for Docker.
|
||
|
||
Includes pre-packaged Docker Images, all pre-configured to provide a wonderful PHP development environment.
|
||
|
||
Laradock is well known in the Laravel community, as the project started with single focus on running Laravel projects on Docker. Later and due to the large adoption from the PHP community, it started supporting other PHP projects like Symfony, CodeIgniter, WordPress, Drupal...
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Quick Overview
|
||
|
||
Let's see how easy it is to install `NGINX`, `PHP`, `Composer`, `MySQL`, `Redis` and `Beanstalkd`:
|
||
|
||
1 - Clone Laradock inside your PHP project:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
git clone https://github.com/Laradock/laradock.git
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
2 - Enter the laradock folder and rename `env-example` to `.env`.
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
cp env-example .env
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
3 - Run your containers:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
docker-compose up -d nginx mysql phpmyadmin redis workspace
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
4 - Open your project's `.env` file and set the following:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
DB_HOST=mysql
|
||
REDIS_HOST=redis
|
||
QUEUE_HOST=beanstalkd
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
5 - Open your browser and visit localhost: `http://localhost`.
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
That's it! enjoy :)
|
||
```

## What is Docker?
|
||
|
||
[Docker](https://www.docker.com) is an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications.
|
||
Docker enables you to separate your applications from your infrastructure so you can deliver software quickly.
|
||
With Docker, you can manage your infrastructure in the same ways you manage your applications.
|
||
By taking advantage of Docker’s methodologies for shipping, testing, and deploying code quickly, you can significantly reduce the delay between writing code and running it in production.

|
||
## Why Docker not Vagrant!?
|
||
|
||
[Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com) creates Virtual Machines in minutes while Docker creates Virtual 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.
|
||
|
||
In addition to the speed, Docker gives tons of features that cannot be achieved with Vagrant.
|
||
|
||
Most importantly Docker can run on Development and on Production (same environment everywhere). While Vagrant is designed for Development only, (so you have to re-provision your server on Production every time).
