Setup instructions

Prerequisites:

• Depending on your OS, the appropriate version of Docker Community Edition has to be installed on your machine. (Download Docker Community Edition)

Installation steps:

1. Create a new directory in which your OS user has full read/write access and clone this repository inside.

2. Create two new textfiles named db_root_password.txt and db_password.txt and place your preferred database passwords inside:

   $ echo "myrootpass" > db_root_password.txt
   $ echo "myuserpass" > db_password.txt
   

3. Open a new terminal/CMD, navigate to this repository root (where docker-compose.yml exists) and execute the following command:

   $ docker-compose up -d
   

   This will download/build all the required images and start the stack containers. It usually takes a bit of time, so grab a cup of coffee.

4. After the whole stack is up, enter the app container and install the framework of your choice:

   Laravel

   $ docker exec -it app bash
   $ composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel .
   $ nano .env
   $ php artisan migrate --seed
   

   Lumen

   $ docker exec -it app bash
   $ composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/lumen .
   $ nano .env
   $ php artisan migrate --seed
   

5. That's it! Navigate to http://localhost to access the application.

Default configuration values

The following values should be replaced in your .env file if you're willing to keep them as defaults:

DB_HOST=mysql
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=appdb
DB_USERNAME=user
DB_PASSWORD=myuserpass
