Dockerizing Your Application

This is an example repository of a "Dockerized" application, as covered on the Dockerizing Your Application preview series from shippingdocker.com.

Try It Out

# Get repo
git clone https://github.com/shipping-docker/dockerized-app.git
cd dockerized-app

# Build app/node images
./develop build

# Get laravel requirements
./develop composer install
./develop npm install

# Spin up Laravel (defaults to binding to port 80)
./develop up -d
# Alternatively, bind to port 8888 (or any other port)
APP_PORT=8888 ./develop up -d

# Run tests
./develop test

You may need to create a .env file with the following modified from the .env.example file (don't forget to also run ./develop art key:generate):

APP_KEY=SOME-KEY-HERE

DB_HOST=mysql

CACHE_DRIVER=redis
SESSION_DRIVER=redis

REDIS_HOST=redis

Features

1. Docker Compose configuration for dev vs ci environments
2. develop helper to run commands against your application, and to more easily use docker-compose
3. Dynamically decide to load xDebug module based on APP_ENV
4. Environment considerations for running within CI (e.g. Jenkins)
5. Docker builds for app container (Nginx+PHP+composer), node contaienr (npm, node, suitable for gulp)

develop Helper

The develop command helper provides the following commands:

Artisan

art command

Run artisan commands within an app container.

./develop art [...]

# e.g.
./develop art make:controller -h

Composer

composer command

Run composer command within an app container.

./develop composer [...]

# e.g.
./develop composer require predis/predis

Test

test command

Run phpunit command within an app container.

./develop test [...]

# e.g.
./develop test
./develop test tests/unit/SpecificFileToTest.php
./develop test --filter 'TestNamespace\\TestCaseClass::testMethod'

Run phpunit command within an already-running app container. This is quicker as it uses exec to run a command inside a running container, instead of run to spin up a new container.

./develop t [...]

# e.g.
./develop t
./develop t tests/unit/SpecificFileToTest.php
./develop t --filter 'TestNamespace\\TestCaseClass::testMethod'

NPM

npm command

Run npm commands within a node container.

./develop npm [...]

# e.g.
./develop npm install
./develop npm install --save gulp

Gulp

gulp command

Run gulp commands within a node container.

./develop gulp [...]

# e.g.
./develop gulp
./develop gulp --production

Docker Compose

docker-compose command

Any command not matching above falls back to running docker-compose.

./develop [...]

# e.g.
./develop ps
./develop up -d
./develop down
./develop exec app bash
./develop run --rm -w /var/www/html app bash
