Introduction

Laravel is a web application framework for PHP, released as free and open-source software under the MIT License.

The Bitnami Laravel Development Container has been carefully engineered to provide you and your team with a highly reproducible Laravel development environment. We hope you find the Bitnami Laravel Development Container useful in your quest for world domination. Happy hacking!

Learn more about Bitnami Development Containers.

Getting started

The quickest way to get started with the Bitnami Laravel Development Container is using docker-compose.

Begin by creating a directory for your Laravel application:

mkdir ~/myapp
cd ~/myapp

Download the docker-compose.yml file in the application directory:

$ curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-laravel/master/docker-compose.yml

Finally launch the Laravel application development environment using:

$ docker-compose up

Among other things, the above command creates a container service, named myapp, for Laravel development and bootstraps a new Laravel application in the application directory. You can use your favorite IDE for developing the application.

Note

If the application directory contained the source code of an existing Laravel application, the Bitnami Laravel Development Container would load the existing application instead of bootstrapping a new one.

After the artisan application server has been launched in the myapp service, visit http://localhost:3000 in your favorite web browser and you'll be greeted by the default Laravel welcome page.

In addition to the Laravel Development Container, the docker-compose.yml file also configures a MariaDB service to serve as the database backend of your Laravel application.

Executing commands

Commands can be launched inside the myapp Laravel Development Container with docker-compose using the exec command.

Note:

The exec command was added to docker-compose in release 1.7.0. Please ensure that you're using docker-compose version 1.7.0 or higher.

The general structure of the exec command is:

$ docker-compose exec <service> <command>

, where <service> is the name of the container service as described in the docker-compose.yml file and <command> is the command you want to launch inside the service.

Following are a few examples of launching some commonly used Laravel development commands inside the myapp service container.

• List all artisan commands:

  $ docker-compose exec myapp php artisan list

• List all registered routes:

  $ docker-compose exec myapp php artisan route:list

• Create a new application controller named User:

  $ docker-compose exec myapp composer require phpmailer/phpmailer:5.2.*
