Laravel---Docker-

Develop your laravel application using docker instead of MAMP and other virtual environments

This file contains a version of Laravel, laradock and docker. Make sure you are using php 7.0 and better for this environment. For php >7.0 rollback the version of Laravel in this file.

Prequisite (need to know):

1. Docker installed on your device
2. This image was made on a Mac. For window in environments, it should still work the same.

Instructions:

1. Run "docker-compose down" to ensure all docker processes are not running.
2. In terminal run "lsof -i | grep LISTEN" to ensure the local host ports are not being used. 2.1 If a localhost port is being used, end it by getting the PID number by entering "lsof -i : port number ", locate the listed PID number and then enter "kill -9 PIDNUMBERHERE" to end it with fire!
3. cd laradock 3.1 Then enter "docker-compose up -d nginx mysql phpmyadmin redis workspace". Go get coffee. If you get an error, enter each command individually such as "docker-compose up -d nginx" docker-compose up -d mysql" docker-compose up -d phpmyadmin" etc.
4. enter "cd .." into terminal, followed by "php artisan serve" go to the following URL: http://localhost:8000. You can see that our Laravel 5.6 is running. 4.1 We can access the phpMyAdmin at 8080 port on the browser. http://localhost:8080. If you get any error, please verify your mysql server, database name, username, and password. Create the database, whichever the name, you have written inside the .env file.

Troubleshooting: If you are hitting errors, delete the "laradock" file and in terminal run "git clone https://github.com/Laradock/laradock.git ", then "cd laradock". Change the name of "env.example" file to ".env" and pick back up at instruction 3 above..(docker-compose up -d nginx mysql phpmyadmin redis workspace)
