• Install composer here if you haven't

• Clone your app inside the project folder. It must have /public folder since the webserver looks for the index here

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel .

OR

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/lumen .

• Move to the root folder and run docker-compose up -d

• Open your browser and go to http://localhost:8000

• Enjoy!

FAQ

• Why port 8000?

  • Sometimes you want your backend and frontend separated. You can have your frontend runs in the default :80 and the API to be in port :8000

• Can we change this port?

  • Yes. You can change the port in the webserver block of the docker-compose.yml file

• Is everything customizable?

  • Yes. You can fiddle the docker-compose.yml file and make your own customization. Be sure you know what you are doing.
