Laravel Docker Apache Configuration using Docker-compose Example

Hi Guys,

This tutorial will provide an example of laravel docker apache configuration. In this article, we will implement a laravel docker 000-default.conf file. If you have a question about install laravel docker with apache example then I will give a simple example with a solution. This example will help you laravel docker compose apache configuration.

In this example, we will simply setup docker-compose for laravel application. we will create apache default.conf configuration file and setup path and permission. You can see the simple steps:

Now, we will start step by step setup laravel 10 project with docker compose.

Step 1: Install Laravel 10

This step is not required; however, if you have not created the laravel app, then you may go ahead and execute the below command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

Step 2: Create a Dockerfile

Create a file named "Dockerfile" in the root of your Laravel project with the following content:

Dockerfile

FROM php:8.2-apache
  
WORKDIR /var/www/html
  
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    libzip-dev \
    unzip \
    && docker-php-ext-install zip pdo_mysql
  
COPY . /var/www/html/
  
RUN chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/storage /var/www/html/bootstrap/cache
RUN chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/storage /var/www/html/bootstrap/cache
  
EXPOSE 80

Step 3: Create a VirtualHost Configuration

Create a file named "default.conf" in the ".docker/apache" directory (you may need to create the .docker/apache directory) with the following content:

.docker/apache/default.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/public
  
    <Directory /var/www/html>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
  
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Step 4: Create a docker-compose.yml File

Create a file named "docker-compose.yml" in the root of your Laravel project with the following content:

docker-compose.yml

version: '3'
   
services:
  web:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    image: my-laravel-app
    ports:
      - "8080:80"
    volumes:
      - .:/var/www/html
      - ./.docker/apache/default.conf:/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

Step 5: Build and Run Docker Containers

Run the following commands to build and run your Docker containers:

docker-compose up -d --build

You can check your port "8080" is running or not by using follow command:

docker-compose ps

Then you can check following url on browser and check it will works:

http://localhost:8080

Output:

I hope it can help you...
