     docker-compose --help
    ```

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

I originally planned on releasing this as part of a Laravel project "starter" repo, containing a Laravel installation, this docker setup, my go-to packages, etc. Instead I'm going to break that repo down into multiple presets. This should be more useful to the community as you can then pick and choose which presets to use, and you'll be able to install this docker setup on projects already underway.

Be on the lookout for the the following presets that I plan on releasing:

- mattwills23/laravel-preset-docker
- mattwills23/laravel-preset-utilities
- mattwills23/laravel-preset-backend
- mattwills23/laravel-preset-frontend

And a "starter" preset which will install all of my presets in a single command.

- mattwills23/laravel-preset-starter

Acknowledgments

[](#acknowledgments)

- I got the idea of using a preset instead of a personal "starter" repo from [TJ Miller](https://github.com/sixlive)
