Setup

To get started, first clone this repository into your dev machine. Then edit the following in the docker-compose.yml file.

services:
  orion:
    build:

Change the service name into something different if you wish.

Then run

docker-compose up --build orion

OR

docker-compose up -d --build orion

to run the containers in a detached mode.

Now you are ready to create a new project. CD into the src folder and run the following:

docker-compose run --rm composer create-project laravel/laravel .

If you get a permission denied error on the src folder while running the above command. Run sudo chown ${USER}:${USER} src ... or replace the user/group with your prefered user and group

After laravel has completed installing, update your .env file to match the environment variables in the docker-compose.yml mysql service

docker-compose.yml mysql service

MYSQL_DATABASE: orion
MYSQL_USER: orion
MYSQL_PASSWORD: password
MYSQL_TCP_PORT: 3307

.env file

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=mysql
DB_PORT=3307
DB_DATABASE=orion
DB_USERNAME=orion
DB_PASSWORD=password

Make sure to set MYSQL_TCP_PORT and DB_PORTto something different than the default mysql port 3306 (in case you have mysql running in your machine already).

I tried port mapping in order to use a different port for mysql container so that I can keep my main mysql installation running while using another mysql service in a container, but I was not able to connect to the database in the mysql container no matter what. Everytime I run artisan migration, I keep on getting this error. The only fix I found for this issue is to set MYSQL_TCP_PORTto a different port and use the same port in Laravel's .env file.
