How to create a docker

Lets suppose the project folder is laravel and the laravel folder is inside the project

1. Copy all the files of this folder to the project folder

2. Go to the project folder and open terminal using (ctl+shift+T) and type the below command

divya@ubuntu:~/project$ git clone https://github.com/laravel/laravel.git laravel
(this command will create the clone of the laravel project from the github)

divya@ubuntu:~/project$ sudo chown -R $USER:$USER laravel
(this command will grant permission to the user to acces the folder )

divya@ubuntu:~/project$ cd laravel
( this command will helps you to enter the laravel folder)

divya@ubuntu:~/project/laravel$ docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app composer install
(this command will is to install the vendor file)

divya@ubuntu:~/project/laravel$ code .
(this will open the project on visual code editor)

3. Open the docker-compose.yml and find the MYSQL_DATABASE and MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD & provide a new one for example i am using laravel password

MYSQL_DATABASE: laravel
MYSQL_USER: laravel
MYSQL_PASSWORD: password
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: password

4. Now copy the env-example to .env using below command

divya@ubuntu:~/project/laravel$ cp .env.example .env

5. Now edit the newly created .env file value

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=db
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel
DB_USERNAME=laravel
DB_PASSWORD=password\

6. Now run the below command to create a docker image

divya@ubuntu:~/project/laravel$ docker-compose up -d

7. As a final step, visit http://your_server_ip in the browser. You will see the following home page for your Laravel application:(if you are using in the locall http://localhost) if you change the port in the ports of webserver then :ports_no will be added.For my localhost http://localhost:8000 and for the phpmyadmin http://localhost:8001change the port no and username, password and try it

8. Some of the usefull commands

divya@ubuntu:~/project/laravel$ docker ps => to check the currently running docker
divya@ubuntu:~/project/laravel$ docker-compose up -d => to create docker container
divya@ubuntu:~/project/laravel$ docker-compose exec app php artisan key:generate => to generate the artisan php key
divya@ubuntu:~/project/laravel$ docker-compose exec app php artisan config:cache => to clear the configuration

9. For docker aliases

divya@ubuntu: gedit ~/.bashrc and then add the below command

# some aliases for docker
alias docker-run='sudo docker-compose run --rm app'

# for bundle command
alias docker-bundle='sudo docker-compose run --rm app bundle'
alias docker-bundle-rubocop='sudo docker-compose run --rm app rubocop'
alias docker-bundle-rspec='sudo docker-compose run --rm app rspec'
alias docker-yarn-install='sudo docker-compose run --rm app bundle'

# for db command
alias docker-db-drop='sudo docker-compose run --rm app bundle exec rails db:drop'
alias docker-db-create='sudo docker-compose run --rm app bundle exec rails db:create'
alias docker-db-migrate='sudo docker-compose run --rm app bundle exec rails db:migrate'
alias docker-db-seed='sudo docker-compose run --rm app bundle exec rails db:seed'
