Add docker & Nginx to Laravel

Create a Dockerfile at the root of the project:

FROM php:8.1-fpm-alpine
RUN apk add --no-cache nginx wget
RUN mkdir -p /run/nginx
COPY docker/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
RUN mkdir -p /app
COPY . /app
RUN sh -c "wget http://getcomposer.org/composer.phar && chmod a+x composer.phar && mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer"
RUN cd /app && \
    /usr/local/bin/composer install --no-dev
RUN chown -R www-data: /app
EXPOSE 80
CMD sh /app/docker/startup.sh

then create a docker/startup.sh file:

#!/bin/sh

sed -i "s,LISTEN_PORT,80,g" /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

php-fpm -D

# while ! nc -w 1 -z 127.0.0.1 9000; do sleep 0.1; done;

nginx

and lastly create docker/nginx.conf file:

worker_processes  1;

events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}

http {
    include       mime.types;
    sendfile        on;
    keepalive_timeout  65;

    server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        server_name _;
        root /app/public;
        index index.php;
        charset utf-8;
        location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
        }

        location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
        location = /robots.txt  { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
        access_log /dev/stdout;
        error_log /dev/stderr;
        sendfile off;
        client_max_body_size 100m;

        location ~ \.php$ {
            fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
            fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            include fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
            fastcgi_intercept_errors off;
            fastcgi_buffering off;
        }

        error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
        location = /50x.html {
            root   html;
        }

    }
    #include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}

daemon off;

After that, run docker:

1. docker build -t any-name .
2. docker run -p 8088:80 any-name # 8088 is the public port

That’s it
