======================

[](#daxter1987laravel-env)

By installing this composer package into your laravel application, this enables the `php artisan dax:install` command, which creates a docker-compose.yml and a daxenv.sh file into your laravel root directory. Then you can run `docker compose up -d` and you have a laravel environment with a database.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

1. Must have docker installed
2. Must have docker-compose installed

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

#### 1. Install using composer by running:

[](#1-install-using-composer-by-running)

```
composer require daxter1987/laravel-env

```

#### 2. Once installed run the command

[](#2-once-installed-run-the-command)

```
php artisan dax:install

```

This creates 2 files:

1. docker-compose.yml: compose file with 2 containers
    1. Ubuntu image with nginx and Php 7.3
    2. Database image
2. daxenv.sh: file with useful shortcuts to run your environment

This also checks the .gitignore in your laravel project and adds the line `/db` if it doesn't exist. This is the folder where docker will store your local database container volume.

#### 3. \[Optional but recommended\] Give the daxenv.sh execute permissions

[](#3-optional-but-recommended-give-the-daxenvsh-execute-permissions)

If you want to use the shortcuts give the daxenv.sh file executing permissions by running the command:

```
sudo chmod 777 daxenv.sh

```

#### 4. Configure database

[](#4-configure-database)

The database connection credentials can be found in your newly created `docker-compose.yml` file. Make sure the database connection is properly configured either in your `.env` file or your `config/database.php` file.

```
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: root
MYSQL_DATABASE: db
MYSQL_USER: root
MYSQL_PASSWORD: root

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### With shortcuts

[](#with-shortcuts)

```
./daxenv.sh up

```

To stop the environment

```
./daxenv.sh down

```

To ssh into the laravel container

```
./daxenv.sh ssh

```

### Without shortcuts

[](#without-shortcuts)

To start the environment run

```
docker-compose up -d

```

To stop the environment

```
docker-compose down

```

To ssh into the laravel container run `docker container ls` to get the name of the container, then replace the container name for CONTAINER\_NAME in the command below

```
docker exec -it CONTAINER_NAME ssh

```

xdebug and PHPStorm

[](#xdebug-and-phpstorm)
