Notice: This is a modified version of https://github.com/laradock/laradock If you are interested in other container setups for PHP please look at their system.
This environment is set up with an idea of having a headless node.js framework with PHP api / admin backend.
We expect that you are familiar with Docker basics at least to the point of having docker installed on your machine
All installation/setup steps are a recommendation and a different approach can be used if preferred.
Clone this repository alongside projects you are intending to use this for.
- app (for node app)
- docker (this docker repository)
- laravel (for php app)
- backend (symlink to laravel/public or the path where the backend entrypoint exists)
In docker container path copy environment file. Adjust values where necessary.
cp env-example .env
Run your containers (first time will be longer due to setup):
docker-compose up -d nginx mysql node-server workspace php-fpm
Add domain configuration to your device.
The default config uses following domain names:
- myapp.test (FE)
- backend.myapp.test (BE)
Make sure your hosts file has following lines:
127.0.0.1 www.myapp.test
127.0.0.1 backend.myapp.test
127.0.0.1 myapp.test
Hosts file is located in /etc/hosts on linux/unix/macos and C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts on Windows devices.
PHP version is set to 7.4 in .env file and can be adjusted there.
Domains are set in nginx/sites/*.conf - whichever .conf file(s) don't have the .example ending
Upon install this will be node_with_php_backend.conf. This config file sets the domain name that browser will look at.
