Usage
Make sure you havedocker
and docker-compose
installed. See here for installing them- clone this repo:
git clone https://github.com/SpiralOutDotEu/dockervel.git
- cd in:
cd dockervel
- run as su:
su
- add aliases:
. ./aliases.sh
- run:
dup
and you have a server running! Hitlocalhost
in your browser and you will see nginx fault message becasuse there is nowww/public/index.php
. - create new Laravel project:
dcomposer-create
- fix permissions:
dpermit
- change .env: see below for options
- run artisan commands:
dartisan make:auth
- fix permissions:
dpermit
Now you have a registration system active. Go tolocalhost
and register a new user to see that db's are running ok. - npm install:
dnodejs npm install
- gulp install:
dnodejs gulp install
- gulp watch:
dulp-watch
Now there is one container runninggulp watch
and monitors changes on files according yourgulpfile.js
aliases
aliases.sh contains shortcuts to common commands. run dot space dot /aliashes.sh to activate aliases for this terminal session.$ . ./aliases.sh
and now for this terminal session you have aliases like dartisan
, dcomposer
, dnodejs
, dup
, dstop
. If you don't want to work with aliases, open the script and see the coressponding commands next to each alias. In the following document it is supposed that you have executed
aliashes.sh
as su
and you have the aliases active. Create new Laravel Project
- create new laravel project:
dcomposer-create
- type
localhost
in your browser and you see the Laravel welcome screen
Fix permitions
since containers have different user in them, you have to change the permisions in www/ folder to be able to write. type:$ dpermit
it will simply chmod -R 777 www
Remember to run dpermit
after each time the www
folder has a new file.Configure Laravel for mysql
changeDB_HOST
in .env
to point to mysql
. This is the name that it is used in docker-compose.yml (link: -mysql:mysql
)DB_HOST=mysql
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret
Configure Laravel for redis
changeREDIS_HOST
in .env
to point to predis
. This is the name that it is used in docker-compose.yml (link: -redis:predis
).REDIS_HOST=predis
REDIS_PASSWORD=null
REDIS_PORT=6379
in Laravel 5.2 there are some issues with redis
namespace, so to avoid conflicts predis
is used.
Also you have to change /config/app.php, and replace:'Redis' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redis::class,
with'LaravelRedis' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redis::class,
Use it like:$redis= LaravelRedis::connection();
$redis->set('name', 'myname');
$redis->get('name');
Running Artisan commands
typedartisan
followed by an artisan commandexample:
$ dartisan make:auth
$ dartisan migrate
$ dartisan tinker
Running composer commands
typedcomposer
followed by a composer commandexample:
$ dcomposer update
$ dcomposer require predis/predis
Nodejs
to install node modules in your project run$ dnodejs npm install
Gulp
install gulp with:dnodejs gulp install:
run gulp once:dgulp
add gulp watch:dgulp-watch
