<p>It contains pre-packaged Docker Images that provides you a wonderful <em>development</em> environment without requiring you to install PHP, NGINX, MySQL, Redis, and any other software on your machines.</p>
<p>Laradock is configured to run Laravel Apps by default, and it can be modified to run all kinds of PHP Apps (Symfony, CodeIgniter, WordPress, Drupal&hellip;).</p>
<p>Let&rsquo;s see how easy it is to install <code>NGINX</code>, <code>PHP</code>, <code>Composer</code>, <code>MySQL</code>, <code>Redis</code> and <code>beanstalkd</code>:</p>
<h2 id="what-is-docker">What is Docker?</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.docker.com">Docker</a> is an open-source project that automates the deployment of applications inside software containers, by providing an additional layer of abstraction and automation of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating-system-level_virtualization">operating-system-level virtualization</a> on Linux, Mac OS and Windows.</p>
<h2 id="why-docker-not-vagrant">Why Docker not Vagrant!?</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.vagrantup.com">Vagrant</a> creates Virtual Machines in minutes while Docker creates Virtual Containers in seconds.</p>
<p>Instead of providing a full Virtual Machines, like you get with Vagrant, Docker provides you <strong>lightweight</strong> Virtual Containers, that share the same kernel and allow to safely execute independent processes.</p>
<p>In addition to the speed, Docker gives tons of features that cannot be achieved with Vagrant.</p>
<p>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).</p>
<p>Laradock and <a href="https://laravel.com/docs/master/homestead">Homestead</a> both give you complete virtual development environments. (Without the need to install and configure every single software on your own Operating System).</p>
<li><p>Homestead is a tool that controls Vagrant for you (using Homestead special commands). And Vagrant manages your Virtual Machine.</p></li>
<li><p>Laradock is a tool that controls Docker for you (using Docker &amp; Docker Compose official commands). And Docker manages your Virtual Containers.</p></li>
<p>Running a virtual container is much faster than running a full virtual Machine. Thus <strong>Laradock is much faster than Homestead</strong>.</p>
<li><p>If you are not using Git yet for your project, you can use <code>git clone</code> instead of <code>git submodule</code>.</p></li>
<li><p>Note 2: To keep track of your Laradock changes, between your projects and also keep Laradock updated. <a href="#keep-tracking-Laradock">Check this</a></p></li>
<p><strong>In case of NGINX:</strong> open <code>nginx/sites/default.conf</code> and change the <code>root</code> from <code>/var/www/public</code> to <code>/var/www/{my-project-folder-name}/public</code>.</p>
<p><em>Or you can keep <code>default.conf</code> as it is, and create a separate config <code>my-site.conf</code> file for it.</em></p>
<p><strong>In case of Apache:</strong> :P</p>
<p>3 - Run your <code>docker-compose up</code> command and you&rsquo;re ready to go.</p>
<p><em>Note: if you already had your containers up, you might need to take them down first and rebuild them for the changes to take effect.</em></p>
<p>2 - Go to <code>nginx/sites</code> and create config files to point to different project directory when visiting different domains.</p>
<p>Laradock by default includes <code>project-1.conf</code> and <code>project-2.conf</code> as working samples.</p>
<p>You can rename the config files, project folders and domains as you like, just make sure the <code>root</code> in the config files, is pointing to the correct project folder name.</p>
<li>Upgrade to Docker <a href="https://www.docker.com/products/docker">Native</a> for Mac/Windows (Recommended). Check out <a href="#upgrading-laradock">Upgrading Laradock</a></li>
<li>Use Laradock v3.* (Visit the <code>Laradock-ToolBox</code><a href="https://github.com/laradock/laradock/tree/Laradock-ToolBox">Branch</a>).</li>
<p><strong>Warning:</strong> If you used an older version of Laradock it&rsquo;s highly recommended to rebuild the containers you need to use <a href="#Build-Re-build-Containers">see how you rebuild a container</a> in order to prevent as much errors as possible.</p>
<p>1 - Run Containers: <em>(Make sure you are in the <code>laradock</code> folder before running the <code>docker-compose</code> commands).</em></p>
<p><strong>Example:</strong> Running NGINX and MySQL:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">docker-compose up -d nginx mysql
<p><strong>Note</strong>: The <code>workspace</code> and <code>php-fpm</code> will run automatically in most of the cases, so no need to specify them in the <code>up</code> command. If you couldn&rsquo;t find them running then you need specify them as follow: <code>docker-compose up -d nginx php-fpm mysql workspace</code>.</p>
<p><em>(Please note that sometimes we forget to update the docs, so check the <code>docker-compose.yml</code> file to see an updated list of all available containers).</em></p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> You can add <code>--user=laradock</code> to have files created as your host&rsquo;s user. Example:</p>
<p><em>You can change the PUID (User id) and PGID (group id) variables from the <code>docker-compose.yml</code> or the <code>.env</code>)</em></p>
<p><em>If you want to install Laravel as PHP project, see <a href="#Install-Laravel">How to Install Laravel in a Docker Container</a>.</em></p>
<p>You might use the <code>--no-cache</code> option if you want full rebuilding (<code>docker-compose build --no-cache {container-name}</code>).</p>
<p>To add an image (software), just edit the <code>docker-compose.yml</code> and add your container details, to do so you need to be familiar with the <a href="https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/">docker compose file syntax</a>.</p>
<p>Before installing PHP extensions, you have to decide whether you need for the <code>FPM</code> or <code>CLI</code> because each lives on a different container, if you need it for both you have to edit both containers.</p>
<p>The PHP-FPM extensions should be installed in <code>php-fpm/Dockerfile-XX</code>. <em>(replace XX with your default PHP version number)</em>.
<br>
The PHP-CLI extensions should be installed in <code>workspace/Dockerfile</code>.</p>
<p>The PHP-FPM is responsible of serving your application code, you don&rsquo;t have to change the PHP-CLI version if you are planning to run your application on different PHP-FPM version.</p>
<p>1 - Open the <code>docker-compose.yml</code>.</p>
<p>2 - Search for <code>Dockerfile-70</code> in the PHP container section.</p>
<p>3 - Change the version number, by replacing <code>Dockerfile-70</code> with <code>Dockerfile-56</code>, like this:</p>
<p>For more details about the PHP base image, visit the <a href="https://hub.docker.com/_/php/">official PHP docker images</a>.</p>
<h3 id="b-switch-from-php-7-0-or-5-6-to-php-5-5">B) Switch from PHP <code>7.0</code> or <code>5.6</code> to PHP <code>5.5</code></h3>
<p>Note: it&rsquo;s not very essential to edit the PHP-CLI version. The PHP-CLI is only used for the Artisan Commands &amp; Composer. It doesn&rsquo;t serve your Application code, this is the PHP-FPM job.</p>
<p>The PHP-CLI is installed in the Workspace container. To change the PHP-CLI version you need to edit the <code>workspace/Dockerfile</code>.</p>
<p>Right now you have to manually edit the <code>Dockerfile</code> or create a new one like it&rsquo;s done for the PHP-FPM. (consider contributing).</p>
<p>3 - Open <code>laradock/workspace/xdebug.ini</code> and/or <code>laradock/php-fpm/xdebug.ini</code> and enable at least the following configurations:</p>
<p>For information on how to configure xDebug with your IDE and work it out, check this <a href="https://github.com/LarryEitel/laravel-laradock-phpstorm">Repository</a>.</p>
<p>To control the behavior of xDebug (in the <code>php-fpm</code> Container), you can run the following commands from the Laradock root folder, (at the same prompt where you run docker-compose):</p>
<p>Note: If <code>./xdebugPhpFpm</code> doesn&rsquo;t execute and gives <code>Permission Denied</code> error the problem can be that file <code>xdebugPhpFpm</code> doesn&rsquo;t have execution access. This can be fixed by running <code>chmod</code> command with desired access permissions.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s recommended for production to create a custom <code>docker-compose.yml</code> file. For that reason, Laradock is shipped with <code>production-docker-compose.yml</code> which should contain only the containers you are planning to run on production (usage example: <code>docker-compose -f production-docker-compose.yml up -d nginx mysql redis ...</code>).</p>
<p>Note: The Database (MySQL/MariaDB/&hellip;) ports should not be forwarded on production, because Docker will automatically publish the port on the host, which is quite insecure, unless specifically told not to. So make sure to remove these lines:</p>
<p>To learn more about how Docker publishes ports, please read <a href="https://fralef.me/docker-and-iptables.html">this excellent post on the subject</a>.</p>
<p>We recommend using <code>composer create-project</code> instead of the Laravel installer, to install Laravel.</p>

<p>For more about the Laravel installation click <a href="https://laravel.com/docs/master#installing-laravel">here</a>.</p>
<p>3 - Edit <code>docker-compose.yml</code> to Map the new application path:</p>
<p>Since the new Laravel application is in the <code>my-cool-app</code> folder, we need to replace <code>../:/var/www</code> with <code>../my-cool-app/:/var/www</code>, as follow:</p>
<p>Add <code>--user=laradock</code> (example <code>docker-compose exec --user=laradock workspace bash</code>) to have files created as your host&rsquo;s user.</p>
<p>1 - First make sure you run the Redis Container (<code>redis</code>) with the <code>docker-compose up</code> command.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">docker-compose up -d redis
<p>2 - Open your Laravel&rsquo;s <code>.env</code> file and set the <code>REDIS_HOST</code> to <code>redis</code></p>
<p>If you don&rsquo;t find the <code>REDIS_HOST</code> variable in your <code>.env</code> file. Go to the database configuration file <code>config/database.php</code> and replace the default <code>127.0.0.1</code> IP with <code>redis</code> for Redis like this:</p>
<p>3 - To enable Redis Caching and/or for Sessions Management. Also from the <code>.env</code> file set <code>CACHE_DRIVER</code> and <code>SESSION_DRIVER</code> to <code>redis</code> instead of the default <code>file</code>.</p>
<p>4 - Finally make sure you have the <code>predis/predis</code> package <code>(~1.0)</code> installed via Composer:</p>
<li>set the <code>DB_HOST</code> to your <code>mongo</code>.</li>
<li>set the <code>DB_PORT</code> to <code>27017</code>.</li>
<li>set the <code>DB_DATABASE</code> to <code>database</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>6 - Finally make sure you have the <code>jenssegers/mongodb</code> package installed via Composer and its Service Provider is added.</p>
<p>More details about this <a href="https://github.com/jenssegers/laravel-mongodb#installation">here</a>.</p>
<p>7 - Test it:</p>
<ul>
<li>First let your Models extend from the Mongo Eloquent Model. Check the <a href="https://github.com/jenssegers/laravel-mongodb#eloquent">documentation</a>.</li>
<li>Enter the Workspace Container.</li>
<li>Migrate the Database <code>php artisan migrate</code>.</li>

</code></pre>
<p>2 - Open your browser and visit the localhost on port <strong>4444</strong> at the following URL: <code>http://localhost:4444/wd/hub</code></p>
<p>The RethinkDB is an open-source Database for Real-time Web (<a href="https://rethinkdb.com/">RethinkDB</a>).
A package (<a href="https://github.com/duxet/laravel-rethinkdb">Laravel RethinkDB</a>) is being developed and was released a version for Laravel 5.2 (experimental).</p>
<p>1 - Run the RethinkDB Container (<code>rethinkdb</code>) with the <code>docker-compose up</code> command.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">docker-compose up -d rethinkdb
</code></pre>
<p>2 - Access the RethinkDB Administration Console <a href="http://localhost:8090/#tables">http://localhost:8090/#tables</a> for create a database called <code>database</code>.</p>
<p>3 - Add the RethinkDB configurations to the <code>config/database.php</code> configuration file:</p>
- On the workspace container, change <code>INSTALL_MC</code> to true to get the client
- Set <code>MINIO_ACCESS_KEY</code> and <code>MINIO_ACCESS_SECRET</code> if you wish to set proper keys</p>
<p>2 - Run the Minio Container (<code>minio</code>) with the <code>docker-compose up</code> command. Example:</p>

</code></pre>
<p>5 - When configuring your other clients use the following details:</p>
<p>To change the timezone for the <code>workspace</code> container, modify the <code>TZ</code> build argument in the Docker Compose file to one in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones">TZ database</a>.</p>
<p>For example, if I want the timezone to be <code>New York</code>:</p>
<p>We also recommend <a href="http://www.camroncade.com/managing-timezones-with-laravel/">setting the timezone in Laravel</a>.</p>
<p>Make sure you <a href="#Change-the-timezone">change the timezone</a> if you don&rsquo;t want to use the default (UTC).</p>
<p>You can access the <code>workspace</code> container through <code>localhost:2222</code> by setting the <code>INSTALL_WORKSPACE_SSH</code> build argument to <code>true</code>.</p>
<p>To change the default forwarded port for ssh:</p>
<p>You can forward the MySQL/MariaDB port to your host by making sure these lines are added to the <code>mysql</code> or <code>mariadb</code> section of the <code>docker-compose.yml</code> or in your <a href="https://docs.docker.com/compose/extends/">environment specific Compose</a> file.</p>
<p>2 - Enter mysql: <code>mysql -uroot -proot</code> for non root access use <code>mysql -uhomestead -psecret</code>.</p>
<p>3 - See all users: <code>SELECT User FROM mysql.user;</code></p>
<p>4 - Run any commands <code>show databases</code>, <code>show tables</code>, <code>select * from.....</code>.</p>
<p>Modify the <code>mysql/my.cnf</code> file to set your port number, <code>1234</code> is used as an example.</p>
<pre><code>[mysqld]
port=1234
</code></pre>
<p>If you need <a href="#MySQL-access-from-host">MySQL access from your host</a>, do not forget to change the internal port number (<code>&quot;3306:3306&quot;</code> -&gt; <code>&quot;3306:1234&quot;</code>) in the docker-compose configuration file.</p>
<p>Assuming your custom domain is <code>laravel.dev</code></p>
<p>1 - Open your <code>/etc/hosts</code> file and map your localhost address <code>127.0.0.1</code> to the <code>laravel.dev</code> domain, by adding the following:</p>
<p>Enabling Global Composer Install during the build for the container allows you to get your composer requirements installed and available in the container after the build is done.</p>
<p>1 - Open the <code>docker-compose.yml</code> file</p>
<p>2 - Search for the <code>COMPOSER_GLOBAL_INSTALL</code> argument under the Workspace Container and set it to <code>true</code></p>
<p><a href="https://github.com/hirak/prestissimo">Prestissimo</a> is a plugin for composer which enables parallel install functionality.</p>
<p>1 - Enable Running Global Composer Install during the Build:</p>
<p>Click on this <a href="#Enable-Global-Composer-Build-Install">Enable Global Composer Build Install</a> and do steps 1 and 2 only then continue here.</p>
<p>2 - Add prestissimo as requirement in Composer:</p>
<p>a - Now open the <code>workspace/composer.json</code> file</p>
<p>b - Add <code>&quot;hirak/prestissimo&quot;: &quot;^0.3&quot;</code> as requirement</p>
<p>c - Re-build the Workspace Container <code>docker-compose build workspace</code></p>
<p>To install NVM and NodeJS in the Workspace container</p>
<p>1 - Open the <code>docker-compose.yml</code> file</p>
<p>2 - Search for the <code>INSTALL_NODE</code> argument under the Workspace Container and set it to <code>true</code></p>
<p>Yarn is a new package manager for JavaScript. It is so faster than npm, which you can find <a href="http://yarnpkg.com/en/compare">here</a>.To install NodeJS and <a href="https://yarnpkg.com/">Yarn</a> in the Workspace container:</p>
<p>1 - Open the <code>docker-compose.yml</code> file</p>
<p>2 - Search for the <code>INSTALL_NODE</code> and <code>INSTALL_YARN</code> argument under the Workspace Container and set it to <code>true</code></p>
<p>Linuxbrew is a package manager for Linux. It is the Linux version of MacOS Homebrew and can be found <a href="http://linuxbrew.sh">here</a>. To install Linuxbrew in the Workspace container:</p>
<p>1 - Open the <code>docker-compose.yml</code> file</p>
<p>2 - Search for the <code>INSTALL_LINUXBREW</code> argument under the Workspace Container and set it to <code>true</code></p>
<p>When you start your docker container, Laradock will copy the <code>aliases.sh</code> file located in the <code>laradock/workspace</code> directory and add sourcing to the container <code>~/.bashrc</code> file.</p>
<p>You are free to modify the <code>aliases.sh</code> as you see fit, adding your own aliases (or function macros) to suit your requirements.</p>
<li>Install Docker for <a href="https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/">Mac</a> or <a href="https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/">Windows</a>.</li>
<p>Sharing code into Docker containers with osxfs have very poor performance compared to Linux. You can get around this issue by using NFS to share your files betwen your host and your container.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>How to share files using NFS (d4m-nfs)</p>
</blockquote>
<p><a href="https://github.com/IFSight/d4m-nfs">d4m-nfs</a> automatically mount NFS volume instead of osxfs one.</p>
<p>1) Update the Docker [File Sharing] preferences:</p>
<p>Click on the Docker Icon &gt; Preferences &gt; (remove everything form the list except <code>/tmp</code>).</p>
<p>2) Restart Docker.</p>
<p>3) Clone the <a href="https://github.com/IFSight/d4m-nfs">d4m-nfs</a> repository to your <code>home</code> directory.</p>
<p>5) Create (or edit) the file <code>/etc/exports</code>, make sure it exists and is empty. (There may be collisions if you come from Vagrant or if you already executed the <code>d4m-nfs.sh</code> script before).</p>
<p>6) Run the <code>d4m-nfs.sh</code> script:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">docker-compose up -d nginx mysql
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> If you faced any errors, try restarting Docker, and make sure you have no spaces in the <code>d4m-nfs-mounts.txt</code> file, and your <code>/etc/exports</code> file is clear.</p>
<h2 id="i-see-a-blank-white-page-instead-of-the-laravel-welcome-page">I see a blank (white) page instead of the Laravel &lsquo;Welcome&rsquo; page!</h2>

<p>Make sure the ports for the services that you are trying to run (22, 80, 443, 3306, etc.) are not being used already by other programs on the host, such as a built in <code>apache</code>/<code>httpd</code> service or other development tools you have installed.</p>
<p>This error sometimes happens because your Laravel application isn&rsquo;t running on the container localhost IP (Which is 127.0.0.1). Steps to fix it:</p>
<li>Check your running Laravel application IP by dumping <code>Request::ip()</code> variable using <code>dd(Request::ip())</code> anywhere on your application. The result is the IP of your Laravel container.</li>
<li>Change the <code>DB_HOST</code> variable on env with the IP that you received from previous step.</li>
<li>Change the <code>DB_HOST</code> value to the same name as the MySQL docker container. The Laradock docker-compose file currently has this as <code>mysql</code></li>
