Docker Laravel
==============

[](#docker-laravel)

A CLI tool to initialize and manage a Docker environment for a Laravel project.

Why?
----

[](#why)

I liked the simplicity of Laravel Sail, but wanted to have an actual web-server, in stead of just `artisan serve`.

How?
----

[](#how)

In stead of a simple bash script like sail, I built this as a Laravel Zero app in order to take advantage of the functionality from Symfony Commands and Processes.

The first argument provided to docker-laravel is used to determine *where* to send the command (most commands are sent to the app container, but compose commands like `up`, `build` and `pull` are run on the host).

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

[](#installation)

```
composer global require mortenscheel/docker-laravel
```

Or download `builds/docker-laravel` and place in PATH.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

I recommend creating an alias to make everyday use simpler.

```
alias d="~/.composer/vendor/bin/docker-laravel"
```

### Initialize project

[](#initialize-project)

```
d init --help

Description:
  Initialize Docker environment

Usage:
  init [options]

Options:
      --slug[=SLUG]     Slug used for container prefix
      --php[=PHP]       PHP-FPM version [default: "8.2"]
      --node[=NODE]     NodeJS version [default: "20"]
      --redis           Include Redis service
      --meilisearch     Include Meilisearch service
      --selenium        Include Selenium service
      --update          Update existing environment
```

This will copy the `/docker` folder and `/docker-compose.yml` to your project It will also update your `.env` (after you've approved the changes)

### Proxied commands

[](#proxied-commands)

When you run the command inside an initialized Laravel project, docker-laravel will automatically proxy the commands. **Examples**

```
d up -d # runs docker compose up -d. All compose commands are supported
d composer require foo/bar # Commands starting with composer are sent to composer in the app container
d artisan route:list # Sent to artisan in the app container
d a route:list # a is aliased to artisan
d route:list # if the first param includes a colon, it's interpreted as an artisan command
d debug some:command # Runs some:command in Artisan with xdebug enabled
d xdebug on/off/status # Controls xdebug in the app container
d shell/zsh/bash # Enter the app container as the non-root (laravel) user
d root-shell # Enter app as root
```

Note: this documentation is a work in progress. To see all the available subcommands and features, take a look at `DefaultCommand`
