 ### What is Docker?
 
 [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.
 
+<a name="what-is-laravel"></a>
 ### What is Laravel?
 
 Seriously!!!
 
+
+<a name="why-docker-not-vagrant"></a>
 ### Why Docker not Vagrant!?
-[Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com) gives you Virtual Machines in minutes while Docker gives you Virtual Containers in seconds.
+
+[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 tens of features that cannot be achieved with Vagrant.
 
-### Questions?
-[![Join the chat at https://gitter.im/LaraDock/laradock](https://badges.gitter.im/Join%20Chat.svg)](https://gitter.im/LaraDock/laradock?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge) 
+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).
 
 
+<a name="laradock-vs-homestead"></a>
+### LaraDock VS Homestead
 
+LaraDock and [Homestead](https://laravel.com/docs/master/homestead) both gives you a complete virtual development environments. (Without the need to install and configure every single software on your own Operating System).
 
-<br>
-<a name="Images"></a>
-## Included Software
+- Homestead is a tool that controls Vagrant for you (using Homestead special commands). And Vagrant manages your Virtual Machine.
 
-__Docker Images:__
-
-- [NGINX+PHP](https://hub.docker.com/r/laradock/phpnginx/)
-- [MySQL](https://hub.docker.com/r/laradock/mysql/)
-- [Redis](https://hub.docker.com/r/laradock/redis/)
-- [Beanstalked](https://hub.docker.com/r/laradock/beanstalkd/)
-- [Data Volume](https://hub.docker.com/r/laradock/data/) (for MySQL & Redis)
-
-You can edit these images, on this repository [https://github.com/LaraDock/docker-images ](https://github.com/LaraDock/docker-images).
+- LaraDock is a tool that controls Docker for you (using Docker Compose official commands). And Docker manages you Virtual Containers.
 
+Running a virtual Container is much faster than running a full virtual Machine. 
+<br>Thus **LaraDock is much faster than Homestead**.

+
+What's better than a [**Demo Video**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DamFMczwDA) :) 
+
+<a name="Installation"></a>
+## Installation
+
+
+1 - Clone the `LaraDock` repository.
+
+**A)** If you already have a Laravel project, clone this repository on your `Laravel` root direcotry:
+
+```bash
+git submodule add https://github.com/LaraDock/laradock.git
+```
+>If you are not already using Git for your Laravel project, you can use `git clone` instead of `git submodule`.
+
+**B)** If you don't have a Laravel project, and you want to install Laravel from Docker, clone this repo anywhere on your machine:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/LaraDock/laradock.git
+```
+
+
+
 <a name="Usage"></a>
 ## Usage
 
-1 - Install any version of Laravel, or use any of your existing Laravel projects.
 
-2 - Clone the LaraDock repository, inside a `docker` folder, on the root directory of your Laravel project.
+1 - For **Windows & MAC** users only: If you are not using the native Docker-Engine `Beta`, make sure you have a running Docker Virtual Host on your machine. 
+[How to run a Docker Virtual Host?](#Run-Docker-Virtual-Host)
+(**Linux** users don't need a Virtual Host, so skip this step).
+
+
+<br>
+2 - Run some Containers: *(Make sure you are in the `laradock` folder before running the `docker-compose` commands).*
+
+
+
+**Example:** Running NGINX and MySQL:
 
 ```bash
-git clone https://github.com/LaraDock/laradock.git docker
+docker-compose up -d  nginx mysql
 ```
 
-3 - Find your Docker IP address.
+You can select your own combination of container form this list:
 
-- If you are on Linux OS: your IP Address is `127.0.0.1` because the containers run directly on your localhost.
-- If you are on MAC or Windows and using the **docker-machine**: start your docker machine then type `docker-machine ip {vm-name-here}`. *(The default IP is 192.168.99.100)*
-- If you are on MAC or Windows and using **boot2docker**: type `boot2docker ip` when boot2docker is up.
+`nginx`, `mysql`, `redis`, `postgres`, `mariadb`, `neo4j`, `mongo`, `memcached`, `beanstalkd`, `beanstalkd-console`, `workspace`, `data`, `php-fpm`, `application`.
 
-4 - Open your hosts file `/etc/hosts`.
+
+**Note**: `workspace`, `data`, `php-fpm` and `application` will run automatically in most of the cases.
+
+
+
+
+
+<br>
+3 - Enter the Workspace container, to execute commands like (Artisan, Composer, PHPUnit, Gulp, ...).
 
 ```bash
-sudo nano /etc/hosts
+docker-compose run workspace bash
 ```
+Replace `{Workspace-Container-Name}` with your Workspace container name. 
+<br>
+To find the containers names type `docker-compose ps`.
 
-5 - Map your `Docker IP` to the `laravel.dev` domain, by adding the following to the `hosts` file. 
 
-```bash
-xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx    laravel.dev
-```
 
-Don't forget to replace the `xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx` with your Docker IP Address.
+<br>
+4 - Edit the Laravel configurations.
 
-6 - From the new created `docker` folder in step 2, open the `docker-compose.yml` file to replace the `xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx` with your Docker IP Adress as well.
+If you don't have a Laravel project installed yet, see [How to Install Laravel in a Docker Container](#Install-Laravel).
 
-7 - 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`.
+Open your Laravel's `.env` file and set the `DB_HOST` to your `{Docker-IP}`:
 
 ```env
-DB_HOST=laravel.dev
-REDIS_HOST=laravel.dev
+DB_HOST=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
 ```
-
-If you don't find the `REDIS_HOST` variable in your `.env` file. Go to the database config file `config/database.php` and replace the `127.0.0.1` with `laravel.dev` for Redis like so:
-
-```php
-'redis' => [
-    'cluster' => false,
-    'default' => [
-        'host'     => 'laravel.dev',
-        'port'     => 6379,
-        'database' => 0,
-    ],
-],
-```
-
-If you want to use Redis for Caching and/or for Sessions Management. Open the `.env` file and set `CACHE_DRIVER` and `SESSION_DRIVER` to `redis` instead of the default `file`.
-
-```env
-CACHE_DRIVER=redis
-SESSION_DRIVER=redis
-```
-
-8 - Finally run the containers. Make sure you are in the `docker` folder before running this command.
-
-```bash
-docker-compose up
-```
-
-You can run `docker-compose up -d` if you want to run the containers in the background.
-
-*"Note: Only the first time you run this command, it will take up to 5 minutes (depend on your connection speed) to download the images to your local machine.*
-
-> Debugging: in case you faced a problem with docker mahcine here, try to running this command in your current terminal session `docker-machine env {vm-name-here}` and then `eval "$(docker-machine env {vm-name-here})"`.
+[How to find my Docker IP Address?](#Find-Docker-IP-Address)
 
 
-9 - Open your browser and visit `http://laravel.dev`
 
 
-> Debugging: in case you faced an error here, it might be that you forget to provide some permissions for Laravel, so try running the following command on the Laravel root directory:
-`sudo chmod -R 777 storage && sudo chmod -R 777 bootstrap/cache`.
+<br>
+5 - Open your browser and visit your `{Docker-IP}` address (`http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx`).

+To stop single container do:
 
-
-#### Delete all existing Containers
 ```bash
-docker-compose rm -f
+docker-compose stop {container-name}
+```
+
+
+
+
+
+
+<br>
+<a name="Delete-all-existing-Containers"></a>
+### Delete all existing Containers
+```bash
+docker-compose down
 ```
 
 *Note: Careful with this command as it will delete your Data Volume Container as well. (if you want to keep your Database data than you should stop each container by itself as follow):* 
 
-`docker stop {container-name}`
 
 
 
 
-#### Remove Container
-To prevent a container (software) from running, open the `docker-compose.yml` file, and comment out the container section or remove it entirely.
 
 
-#### Add an Image (add a software to run with other Containers)
-To add an image (software), just edit the `laradock/docker/docker-compose.yml` and add your container details, to do so you need to be familiar with the [docker compose file syntax](https://docs.docker.com/compose/yml/).
+<br>
+<a name="Enter-Container"></a>
+### Enter a Container (SSH into a running Container)
+
+1 - first list the current running containers with `docker ps`
+
+2 - enter any container using:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose run {container-name} bash
+```
+3 - to exit a container, type `exit`.
 
 
-#### Edit a Container (change Ports or Volumes)
-To modify a container you can simply open the `laradock/docker/docker-compose.yml` and change everything you want.
 
-Example: if you want to set the MySQL port to 3333, just replace the default port with yours:
+
+
+
+
+<br>
+<a name="Edit-Container"></a>
+### Edit default container configuration
+Open the `docker-compose.yml` and change anything you want.
+
+Examples: 
+
+Change MySQL Database Name:
+
+```yml
+  environment:
+    MYSQL_DATABASE: laradock
+```
+
+Change Redis defaut port to 1111:
 
 ```yml
   ports:
-    - "3333:3306"
+    - "1111:6379"
 ```
 
-#### Edit an existing Image (change some configuration in the image)
-To edit an image, and take full control of it:
 
-1. clone the LaraDock `docker-images` repository [https://github.com/LaraDock/docker-images](https://github.com/LaraDock/images)
-2. modify whichever `Dockfile` you want
-3. from the modified image directory run `docker build -t {your-image-name} .`
 
-All the images are open source and hosted on the [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/u/laradock/).
+
+
+
+
+
+<br>
+<a name="Edit-a-Docker-Image"></a>
+### Edit a Docker Image
+
+1 - Find the `dockerfile` of the image you want to edit, 
+<br>
+example for `mysql` it will be `mysql/Dockerfile`.
+
+2 - Edit the file the way you want.
+
+3 - Re-build the container:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose build mysql
+```
 
 *If you find any bug or you have and suggestion that can improve the performance of any image, please consider contributing. Thanks in advance.*
 
-#### View the Log files 
-The Log files are stored in the `docker/logs` directory.

+<a name="Build-Re-build-Containers"></a>
+### Build/Re-build Containers
+
+If you do any change to any `dockerfile` make sure you run this command, for the changes to take effect:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose build
+```
+Optionally you can specify which container to rebuild (instead of rebuilding all the containers):
+
+```bash
+docker-compose build {container-name}
+```
+
+
+
+
+
+
+<br>
+<a name="Add-Docker-Images"></a>
+### Add more Software's (Docker Images)
+
+To add an image (software), just edit the `docker-compose.yml` and add your container details, to do so you need to be familiar with the [docker compose file syntax](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/).
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+<br>
+<a name="View-the-Log-files"></a>
+### View the Log files 
+The Nginx Log file is stored in the `logs/nginx` directory.
+
+However to view the logs of all the other containers (MySQL, PHP-FPM,...) you can run this:
+
+```bash
+docker logs {container-name}
+```
+
+
+
+
+
+<br>
+<a name="Laravel"></a>
+### [Laravel]
+
+
+
+
+<a name="Install-Laravel"></a>
+### Install Laravel from a Docker Container
+
+1 - First you need to enter the Workspace Container.
+
+2 - Install Laravel.
+
+Example using Composer
+
+```bash
+composer create-project laravel/laravel my-cool-app "5.2.*"
+```
+
+> We recommand using `composer create-project` instead of the Laravel installer, to install Laravel.
+
+For more about the Laravel installation click [here](https://laravel.com/docs/master#installing-laravel).
+
+
+3 - Edit `docker-compose.yml` to Map the new application path:
+
+By default LaraDock assumes the Laravel application is living in the parent directory of the laradock folder. 
+
+Since the new Laravel application is in the `my-cool-app` folder, we need to replace `../:/var/www/laravel` with `../my-cool-app/:/var/www/laravel`, as follow:
+
+```yaml
+    application:
+        build: ./application
+        volumes:
+            - ../my-cool-app/:/var/www/laravel
+```
+4 - Go to that folder and start working..
+
+```bash
+cd my-cool-app
+```
+
+
+
+<br>
+<a name="Run-Artisan-Commands"></a>
+### Run Artisan Commands
+
+You can run artisan commands and many other Terminal commands from the Workspace container.
+
+1 - Make sure you have the workspace container running.
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d workspace // ..and all your other containers
+```
+
+2 - Enter the Workspace container:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose run workspace /bin/bash
+```
+
+3 - Run anything you want :)
+
+```bash
+php artisan
+```
+```bash
+Composer update
+```
+```bash
+phpunit
+```
+
+<br>
+<a name="Use-Redis"></a>
+### Use Redis
+
+1 - First make sure you run the Redis Container (`redis`) with the `docker-compose up` command.
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d redis
+```
+
+2 - Open your Laravel's `.env` file and set the `REDIS_HOST` to your `Docker-IP` instead of the default `127.0.0.1` IP.
+
+```env
+REDIS_HOST=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
+```
+
+If you don't find the `REDIS_HOST` variable in your `.env` file. Go to the database config file `config/database.php` and replace the default `127.0.0.1` IP with your `Docker-IP` for Redis like this:
+
+```php
+'redis' => [
+    'cluster' => false,
+    'default' => [
+        'host'     => 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx',
+        'port'     => 6379,
+        'database' => 0,
+    ],
+],
+```
+
+3 - To enable Redis Caching and/or for Sessions Management. Also from the `.env` file set `CACHE_DRIVER` and `SESSION_DRIVER` to `redis` instead of the default `file`.
+
+```env
+CACHE_DRIVER=redis
+SESSION_DRIVER=redis
+```
+
+4 - Finally make sure you have the `predis/predis` package `(~1.0)` installed via Composer:
+
+```bash
+composer require predis/predis:^1.0
+```
+
+5 - You can manually test it from Laravel with this code:
+
+```php
+\Cache::store('redis')->put('LaraDock', 'Awesome', 10);
+```
+
+
+
+
+
+<br>
+<a name="Use-Mongo"></a>
+### Use Mongo
+
+1 - First make sure you run the MongoDB Container (`mongo`) with the `docker-compose up` command.
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d mongo
+```
+
+
+2 - Add the MongoDB configurations to the `config/database.php` config file:
+
+```php
+'connections' => [
+
+    'mongodb' => [
+        'driver'   => 'mongodb',
+        'host'     => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
+        'port'     => env('DB_PORT', 27017),
+        'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'database'),
+        'username' => '',
+        'password' => '',
+        'options'  => [
+            'database' => '',
+        ]
+    ],
+
+	// ...
+
+],
+```
+
+3 - Open your Laravel's `.env` file and update the following variables:
+
+- set the `DB_HOST` to your `Docker-IP`.
+- set the `DB_PORT` to `27017`.
+- set the `DB_DATABASE` to `database`.
+
+
+4 - Finally make sure you have the `jenssegers/mongodb` package installed via Composer and its Service Provider is added.
+
+```bash
+composer require jenssegers/mongodb
+```
+More details about this [here](https://github.com/jenssegers/laravel-mongodb#installation).
+
+5 - Test it:
+
+- First let your Models extend from the Mongo Eloquent Model. Check the [documentation](https://github.com/jenssegers/laravel-mongodb#eloquent).
+- Enter the Workspace Continer `docker-compose run workspace bash`.
+- Migrate the Database `php artisan migrate`.

+### [PHP]
+
+
+
+
+
+
+<a name="Install-PHP-Extensions"></a>
+### Install PHP Extensions
+
+Before installing PHP extensions, you have to decide whether you need for the `FPM` or `CLI` because each lives on a different container, if you need it for both you have to edit both containers.
+
+The PHP-FPM extensions should be installed in `php-fpm/Dockerfile-XX`. *(replace XX with your default PHP version number)*.
+<br>
+The PHP-CLI extensions should be installed in `workspace/Dockerfile`.
+
+

+### Change the PHP-FPM Version
+By default **PHP-FPM 7.0** is running.
+
+>The PHP-FPM is responsible of serving your application code, you don't have to change the PHP-CLI version if you are planing to run your application on different PHP-FPM version.
+
+1 - Open the `docker-compose.yml`.
+
+2 - Search for `Dockerfile-70` in the PHP container section.
+
+3 - Change the version number. 
+<br>
+Example to select version 5.6 instead of 7.0 you have to replace `Dockerfile-70` with `Dockerfile-56`.
+
+Sample: 
+
+```txt
+php-fpm:
+    build:
+        context: ./php-fpm
+        dockerfile: Dockerfile-70
+```
+
+Supported Versions:
+
+- For (PHP 7.0.*) use `Dockerfile-70`
+- For (PHP 5.6.*) use `Dockerfile-56`
+- For (PHP 5.5.*) use `Dockerfile-55`
+
+
+4 - Finally rebuild the container
+
+```bash
+docker-compose build php
+```
+
+For more details about the PHP base image, visit the [official PHP docker images](https://hub.docker.com/_/php/).

+<a name="Change-the-PHP-CLI-Version"></a>
+### Change the PHP-CLI Version
+By default **PHP-CLI 7.0** is running.
+
+>Note: it's not very essential to edit the PHP-CLI verion. The PHP-CLI is only used for the Artisan Commands & Composer. It doesn't serve your Application code, this is the PHP-FPM job.
+
+The PHP-CLI is installed in the Workspace container. To change the PHP-CLI version you need to edit the `workspace/Dockerfile`.
+
+Right now you have to manually edit the `Dockerfile` or create a new one like it's done for the PHP-FPM. (consider contributing).

+
+<a name="Run-Docker-Virtual-Host"></a>
+### Run a Docker Virtual Host
+
+These steps are only for **Windows & MAC** users *(Linux users don't need a virtual host)*:
+
+1 - Run the default Host:
+
+```bash
+docker-machine start default
+```
+
+* If the host "default" does not exist, create one using the command below, else skip it:
+
+* ```bash
+  docker-machine create -d virtualbox default
+  ```
+
+2 - Run this command to configure your shell:
+
+```bash
+eval $(docker-machine env)
+```
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+<br>
+<a name="Find-Docker-IP-Address"></a>
+### Find your Docker IP Address 
+
+**On Windows & MAC:** 
+
+Run this command in your terminal:
+
+```bash
+docker-machine ip default
+```
+If your Host name is different then `default`, you have to specify it (`docker-machine ip my-host`).
+
+*(The default IP is 192.168.99.100)*
+
+<br>
+
+> **boot2docker** users: run `boot2docker ip` *(when boot2docker is up)*.
+
+<br>
+**On Linux:** 
+
+Run this command in your terminal:
+
+```shell
+ifconfig docker0 | grep 'inet' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1}' | head -n1
+```
+
+*(The default IP is 172.17.0.1)*
+
+
+
+<br>
+<a name="Use-custom-Domain"></a>
+### Use custom Domain (instead of the Docker IP)
+
+Assuming your custom domain is `laravel.dev` and your current `Docker-IP` is `xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx`.
+
+1 - Open your `/etc/hosts` file and map your `Docker IP` to the `laravel.dev` domain, by adding the following:
+
+```bash
+xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx    laravel.dev
+```
+
+2 - Open your Laravel's `.env` file and replace the `127.0.0.1` default values with your `{Docker-IP}`.
+<br>
+Example:
+
+```env
+DB_HOST=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
+```
+
+3 - Open your browser and visit `{http://laravel.dev}`
+
+
+
+Optionally you can define the server name in the nginx config file, like this:
+
+```conf
+server_name laravel.dev;
+```
+
+
+<br>
+<a name="debugging"></a>
+### Debugging
+
+*Here's a list of the common problems you might face, and the possible solutions.*
+
+#### + I see a blank (white) page instead of the Laravel 'Welcome' page!
+
+run this command from the Laravel root directory:
+
+```bash
+sudo chmod -R 777 storage bootstrap/cache
+```
+
+#### + I see "Welcome to nginx" instead of the Laravel App!
+
+use `http://127.0.0.1` instead of `http://localhost` in your browser.
