      About the Talk

      With the popularization of microservices and distributed systems, containers became a popular choice for creating lightweight and disposable environments that can be easily replicated and distributed. Docker Compose was created to facilitate managing Docker environments that require multiple service containers, such as the typical LEMP stack.

      This talk demonstrates how to create a PHP development environment with Docker Compose, using a Laravel 7 application as case study. Watch how to define and integrate services, how to share files between containers, and how to manage your environment with Docker Compose commands.

      What You’ll Learn

      • What is Docker Compose
      • How to set up a Docker Compose file for a LEMP PHP environment
      • How to run and manage your environment via Docker Compose

      How To Create PHP Development Environments with Docker Compose: A DigitalOcean Workshop Kit


      How to Create PHP Development Environments with Docker Compose Workshop Kit Materials

      This workshop kit is designed to help a technical audience become familiar with Docker Compose and learn to set up a working development environment for a Laravel application using containers.

      The aim is to provide a complete set of resources for a speaker to host an event and deliver an introductory talk on Docker Compose in the context of PHP development environments. It includes:

      • Slides and speaker notes including commands for running an optional live demo. This talk runs for roughly 40 minutes.
      • A GitHub repository containing the demo app code and the additional files necessary to get a PHP development environment up and running with Docker and Docker Compose.
      • This tutorial, which walks a user through getting the Travellist demo Laravel application running on containers with Docker Compose.

      This guide is intended to supplement the talk demo with additional detail and elucidation.

      Introduction

      This tutorial, designed to accompany the slides and speaker notes for the How To Create PHP Development Environments with Docker Compose Slide Deck, will show you how to get a demo Laravel application up and running with Docker and Docker Compose, using the setup that we discuss in greater detail in our guide on How To Set Up Laravel with Docker Compose on Ubuntu 20.04.

      Note: This material is intended to demonstrate how to use Docker Compose to create PHP development environments. Although our demo consists of a Laravel application running on a LEMP server, readers are encouraged to modify and adapt the included setup to suit their own needs.

      Prerequisites

      To follow this tutorial, you will need:

      Step 1 — Download the Demo Application

      To get started, download release tutorial-4.0.3 of the Travellist Laravel Demo application, which contains the application files and the Docker Compose setup that are used in this workshop kit.

      • curl -L https://github.com/do-community/travellist-laravel-demo/archive/tutorial-4.0.3.zip --output travellist.zip

      Next, install the unzip utility in case that is not yet installed on your local machine or development server:

      Unzip the package and move into the newly created directory:

      • unzip travellist.zip
      • cd travellist-laravel-demo-tutorial-4.0.3

      Now, you can run an ls command to inspect the contents of the cloned repository:

      • ls -l --group-directories-first

      You’ll receive output like this:

      ansible-laravel-demo

      -rw-rw-r-- 1 sammy sammy    538 mei 14 16:16 webpack.mix.js
      

      Here are the relevant directories and files for the Docker Compose setup we’re using:

      • docker-compose/ — contains files used to set up the containerized environment, such as the Nginx configuration file and the application’s MySQL dump.
      • docker-compose.yml — here, we define all services we’ll need: app, web, and db. Shared volumes and networks are also set up here.
      • Dockerfile — this defines a custom application image based on php-fpm. While the web and db services are based on default images, the app service requires additional setup steps, that’s why we are creating a custom image for this service container.

      All remaining files are part of the application.

      Step 2 — Set Up the Application’s .env File

      You’ll now create a new .env file using the included .env.example file as base. Because Laravel uses a dot env file that is also supported by Docker Compose, the values set here will be available at build time when you bring your environment up, and will be used to set up the database service container.

      For reference, this is what the included .env file looks like. Because these settings are being applied to an isolated development environment, there is no need to change database credentials in this file, but you are free to do so if you would like.

      .env

      APP_NAME=Travellist
      APP_ENV=dev
      APP_KEY=
      APP_DEBUG=true
      APP_URL=http://localhost:8000
      
      LOG_CHANNEL=stack
      
      DB_CONNECTION=mysql
      DB_HOST=db
      DB_PORT=3306
      DB_DATABASE=travellist
      DB_USERNAME=travellist_user
      DB_PASSWORD=password
      
      BROADCAST_DRIVER=log
      CACHE_DRIVER=file
      QUEUE_CONNECTION=sync
      SESSION_DRIVER=cookie
      SESSION_LIFETIME=120
      
      REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1
      REDIS_PASSWORD=null
      REDIS_PORT=6379
      
      MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
      MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
      MAIL_PORT=2525
      MAIL_USERNAME=null
      MAIL_PASSWORD=null
      MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null
      
      AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
      AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
      AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1
      AWS_BUCKET=
      
      PUSHER_APP_ID=
      PUSHER_APP_KEY=
      PUSHER_APP_SECRET=
      PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER=mt1
      
      MIX_PUSHER_APP_KEY="${PUSHER_APP_KEY}"
      MIX_PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER="${PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER}"
      

      Once you are satisfied with your .env file, you should move onto running Docker Compose, as outlined in the next session.

      Step 3 — Run Docker Compose

      Once you have your .env file in place, you can bring your environment up with:

      This will execute Docker Compose in detached mode, which means it will run in the background. This command may take a few moments to run when you execute it for the first time, since it will download and build the app service image.

      Output

      Creating network "travellist-laravel-demo-tutorial-403_travellist" with driver "bridge" Creating travellist-db ... done Creating travellist-app ... done Creating travellist-nginx ... done

      To verify the status of your services, you can run:

      You’ll receive output like this:

      Output

      Name Command State Ports -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- travellist-app docker-php-entrypoint php-fpm Up 9000/tcp travellist-db docker-entrypoint.sh mysqld Up 3306/tcp, 33060/tcp travellist-nginx /docker-entrypoint.sh ngin ... Up 0.0.0.0:8000->80/tcp

      Your containerized PHP development environment is up and running, but there are still a couple steps required so that you can access the application from your browser. We’ll set everything up in the next and final step.

      Step 4 — Finish Setting Up the Application

      Now that you have a development environment able to handle PHP scripts, you can install the application dependencies using composer. To execute commands inside containers, you can use the docker-compose exec command, followed by the name of the service container and the command you want to execute.

      The following command will run composer install on the app service container, where PHP is installed:

      • docker-compose exec app composer install

      After the dependencies are installed, you’ll need to generate a unique application key using the artisan Laravel command line tool:

      • docker-compose exec app php artisan key:generate

      Output

      Application key set successfully.

      You can now access the demo application by pointing your browser to localhost if you are running this setup on a local machine, or your remote server’s domain name or IP address if you are running this on a development server. The server expects connections on port 8000, so be sure to include :8000 in the address:

      http://localhost:8000
      

      You will see a page like this:

      Laravel Travellist Demo

      With this page displaying on your browser you have successfully set up your application.

      Docker Compose Quick Reference

      In this section, you’ll find a brief reference of the main Docker Compose commands used to manage a containerized environment. These should be executed from the same directory where you have set up your docker-compose.yml file.

      build

      Builds any custom images associated with the current docker-compose.yml file, without bringing the environment up.

      up

      Brings the environment up. Custom images will be automatically built when not cached, and when you make changes to the referenced Dockerfile.

      ps

      Similar to docker ps, shows the status of active services associated with the current docker-compose.yml file.

      exec

      Executes a command on the specified service.

      • docker-compose exec service-name command

      stop

      Stops the active environment, while keeping any allocated resources: containers, volumes, and networks.

      start

      Brings up an environment that was previously stopped with the stop command.

      logs

      Shows latest logs from active services.

      top

      Shows processes running on the specified service.

      docker-compose top service-name
      

      down

      Brings the containerized environment down along with any allocated resources.

      docker-compose down
      

      For more information about each available Docker Compose command, please refer to their official documentation.

      Conclusion
