# Dockerfile: Check your Dockerfile to ensure it's configured correctly. The Dockerfile should include instructions to build an image based on the desired Laravel version. Here's an example of a basic Dockerfile for Laravel:
FROM php:7.4-apache
# Install dependencies
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
libonig-dev \
libxml2-dev \
zip \
unzip \
&& docker-php-ext-install pdo_mysql mbstring exif pcntl bcmath opcache
# Copy application files
COPY . /var/www/html
# Set working directory
WORKDIR /var/www/html
# Install composer dependencies
RUN curl -sS https:
RUN composer install --optimize-autoloader --no-dev
# Set permissions
RUN chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/storage /var/www/html/bootstrap/cache
# Expose port 80
EXPOSE 80
# Start Apache
CMD ["apache2-foreground"]
# Adjust the PHP version and additional dependencies as needed.
# Build Docker Image: Once you have the Dockerfile set up, navigate to the project's root directory (where the Dockerfile is located) and run the following command to build the Docker image:
docker build -t my-laravel-app .
# Run Docker Container: After the Docker image is built, you can run a container based on that image using the following command:
docker run -p 8000:80 my-laravel-app
