Install Docker

Visit DigitalOcean and login.
Click the Create Droplet button.
Open the One-click apps tab.
Select Docker with your preferred version.
Continue creating the droplet as you normally would.
If needed, check your e-mail for the droplet root password.

SSH to your Server

Find the IP address of the droplet in the DigitalOcean interface. Use it to connect to the server.

ssh root@ipaddress

You may be prompted for a password. Type the one you found within your e-mailbox. It'll then ask you to change the password.

You can now check if Docker is available:

$root@server:~# docker

Set Up Your Laravel Project

$root@server:~# apt-get install git
$root@server:~# git clone https://github.com/laravel/laravel
$root@server:~# cd laravel
$root@server:~/laravel/ git submodule add https://github.com/LaraDock/laradock.git
$root@server:~/laravel/ cd laradock

Install docker-compose command

$root@server:~/laravel/laradock# curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.8.0/run.sh > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
$root@server:~/chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Create Your LaraDock Containers

$root@server:~/laravel/laradock# docker-compose up -d nginx mysql

Note that more containers are available, find them in the docs or the docker-compose.yml file.

Go to Your Workspace

docker-compose exec workspace bash

Install and configure Laravel

Let's install Laravel's dependencies, add the .env file, generate the key and give proper permissions to the cache folder.

$ root@workspace:/var/www# composer install
$ root@workspace:/var/www# cp .env.example .env
$ root@workspace:/var/www# php artisan key:generate
$ root@workspace:/var/www# exit
$root@server:~/laravel/laradock# cd ..
$root@server:~/laravel# sudo chmod -R 777 storage bootstrap/cache

You can then view your Laravel site by visiting the IP address of your server in your browser. For example:

http://192.168.1.1

It should show you the Laravel default welcome page.

However, we want it to show up using your custom domain name, as well.

Using Your Own Domain Name

Point the Custom Domain Name Server to:

ns1.digitalocean.com
ns2.digitalocean.com
ns3.digitalocean.com

Within DigitalOcean, you'll need to change some settings, too.

Visit: https://cloud.digitalocean.com/networking/domains

Add your domain name and choose the server IP you'd provision earlier.

Serving Site With NGINX (HTTP ONLY)

Go back to command line.

$root@server:~/laravel/laradock# cd nginx
$root@server:~/laravel/laradock/nginx# vim laravel.conf

Remove default_server

    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

And add server_name (your custom domain)

    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on;
    server_name yourdomain.com;

Rebuild Your Nginx

$root@server:~/laravel/laradock/nginx# docker-compose down
$root@server:~/laravel/laradock/nginx# docker-compose build nginx

Re Run Your Containers MYSQL and NGINX

$root@server:~/laravel/laradock/nginx# docker-compose up -d nginx mysql

View Your Site with HTTP ONLY (http://yourdomain.com)

Run Site on SSL with Let's Encrypt Certificate

Note: You need to Use Caddy here Instead of Nginx

To go Caddy Folders and Edit CaddyFile

$root@server:~/laravel/laradock# cd caddy
$root@server:~/laravel/laradock/caddy# vim Caddyfile

Remove 0.0.0.0:80

0.0.0.0:80
root /var/www/public

and replace with your https://yourdomain.com

https://yourdomain.com
root /var/www/public

uncomment tls

#tls self-signed

and replace self-signed with your email address

tls serverbreaker@gmai.com

This is needed Prior to Creating Let's Encypt

Run Your Caddy Container without the -d flag and Generate SSL with Let's Encrypt

$root@server:~/laravel/laradock/caddy# docker-compose up  caddy

You'll be prompt here to enter your email... you may enter it or not

Attaching to laradock_mysql_1, laradock_caddy_1
caddy_1               | Activating privacy features...
caddy_1               | Your sites will be served over HTTPS automatically using Let's Encrypt.
caddy_1               | By continuing, you agree to the Let's Encrypt Subscriber Agreement at:
caddy_1               |   https://letsencrypt.org/documents/LE-SA-v1.0.1-July-27-2015.pdf
caddy_1               | Activating privacy features... done.
caddy_1               | https://yourdomain.com
caddy_1               | http://yourdomain.com

After it finishes, press Ctrl + C to exit.

Stop All Containers and ReRun Caddy and Other Containers on Background

$root@server:~/laravel/laradock/caddy# docker-compose down
$root@server:~/laravel/laradock/caddy# docker-compose up -d mysql caddy

View your Site in the Browser Securely Using HTTPS (https://yourdomain.com)

Note that Certificate will be Automatically Renew By Caddy
