Dockerfile for Laravel 11 with apache

Description

Dockerfile to load laravel with apache2, this was used for quickly grading students projects so it is not production ready.

Introduction

• This is meant to be used with a clean clone not installed in your local, that would be a little different.
• So after doing a git clone somthingGithubsomehing/example-app example-app
• and cd example-app you would be able to follow the instructions
• you can download docker desktop from (https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/)

Instructions

• Copy Dockefile and laravel-apache.conf to your clean cloned project folder.
• Add normal .env
• Database in .env for mariadb must use mysql connector and the ip of your local gotten with ipconfig (Ethernet adapter vEthernet (WSL)):
  

DB_HOST=172.18.208.1 
DB_CONNECTION=mysql

• Build image:
  docker build -t laravel .
• To use the image:
  docker run -p 8081:80 laravel
• Add to your hosts file:
  127.0.0.1 docker.localhost
• Access via http://docker.localhost:8081/

Extra instructions

• You can get the hexa for the running docker with:
  cmd docker ps |findstr laravel
  bash docker ps |grep laravel
  something like this should be returned:
  3263be5f1ae8 laravel "docker-php-entrypoi???" 46 minutes ago Up 46 minutes 0.0.0.0:8081->80/tcp wizardly_matsumoto
  the hexa would be 3263be5f1ae8
• kill container:
  docker kill <hexa_of_container>
• bash in the container:
  docker exec -it <hexa_of_container> bash

Code is free to use and modify but not production ready, use at your own peril.
