Compose for Laravel

This package is in development and not yet ready for production use.

Introduction

Compose for Laravel is a package that simplifies running and deploying Laravel applications using Docker Compose. It supports macOS, Linux, and Windows (WSL2). This package leverages Docker Compose for container orchestration and Traefik for routing HTTP requests.

Installation

To install Compose for Laravel, include it in your Laravel application's composer.json file:

composer require --dev braceyourself/compose

Upon installation, the compose script will be available in vendor/bin. Run the install command to set up node_modules and composer dependencies.

./vendor/bin/compose install

Usage

Available Commands

compose COMMAND [options] [arguments]

• compose install: Uses docker containers to install composer and npm dependencies
• compose build: Build the Docker containers
• compose start: Start the application (docker-compose up -d)
• compose deploy: Deploy the application to a remote server

All other commands are passed to docker compose or artisan

You can always use docker compose directly after running compose the first time.

After running compose for the first time, the docker-compose file will be published to your project root.

Environment Variables

Ensure you have a .env file in your project root. The script will source this file to set up the necessary environment variables.

When running the deploy command, the remote .env file will be created based on your .env.example file

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, ensure your system meets the requirements and that Docker and Docker Compose are properly installed and configured.

Please report any issues.
