To run a Laravel app inside a Docker container, follow these steps:

  1. Create a Dockerfile in the root directory of your Laravel application. The Dockerfile should include the following code:

# Use the official PHP image as the base image
FROM php:7.4-fpm

# Set the working directory inside the container
WORKDIR /var/www/html

# Install dependencies
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y     git     zip     unzip

# Install PHP extensions
RUN docker-php-ext-install pdo_mysql

# Install Composer
RUN curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer

# Copy the Laravel application files to the container
COPY . .

# Install Laravel dependencies
RUN composer install

# Expose port 8000 to access the Laravel app
EXPOSE 8000

# Run the Laravel application
CMD php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8000


  1. Build the Docker image using the following command:
1
docker build -t my-laravel-app .


  1. Run the Docker container using the following command:
1
docker run -p 8000:8000 my-laravel-app


  1. Access the Laravel application running inside the Docker container by navigating to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.


Your Laravel app should now be up and running inside a Docker container.
