Docker basic configuration with Nginx, Laravel, MySql and phpMyadmin containers. Laravel Basic Auth also added.

Prerequisites

• docker
• git

Install

• enter the console and go to your desired installation location, keep in mind that cloning or composing will create a new folder so don't make a new project folder in order to avoid excessive subtrees
• get the files by following one of these two methods:

Git (easier)

git clone https://github.com/spatariu/laradock.git

Composer

if you choose to install via the composer you will need a functional php intallation (https://www.sitepoint.com/how-to-install-php-on-windows/), also the php.ini should contain this externsion extension=fileinfo (if it is not there add it at the end of the file), when you are done with this run composer create-project spatariu/laradock

• go to laradock/laradock subfolder and execute docker-compose up -d nginx phpmyadmin (it creates all the containers' links and also brings up the additional required containers - php-fpm - mysql - workspace).
• check if your containers are up by runnning docker ps, go to the workspace container to start interacting with your project with the following command: docker exec -it laradock_workspace_1 bash (if you have a different name for your workspace container type that one)
• run composer update once you are inside the workspace container
• there is a no support yet in phpmyadmin for the mysql8's new authentification caching_sha2_password so you have to delete the .laradock folder at this step, if you are on Windows you will find it in the C:\Users\YourProfileName, on Linux in your logged in user's folder (root if you logged in like that), rebuild the container with docker-compose build --no-cache mysql and restart the containers (down & up again)
• now Laravel should be up and running on http://localhost:80 and phpMyadmin on http://localhost:8080/ (credentials mysql/root/root), if you are on a VPS replace localhost with your public IP
• if you got any rights issues on Linux run chmod -R 777 storage and chmod -R 777 bootstrap/cache
• you can bring up other laradock available containers if required by using again docker-compose up -d container_name1 container_name2 (in the project's laradock/laradock subfolder you can see the available containers' names).
