Why use Bitnami Images?

• Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
• With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
• Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
• All our images are based on minideb -a minimalist Debian based container image that gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading Linux distribution- or scratch -an explicitly empty image-.
• All Bitnami images available in Docker Hub are signed with Notation. Check this post to know how to verify the integrity of the images.
• Bitnami container images are released on a regular basis with the latest distribution packages available.

Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links

Learn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags in our documentation page.

You can see the equivalence between the different tags by taking a look at the tags-info.yaml file present in the branch folder, i.e bitnami/ASSET/BRANCH/DISTRO/tags-info.yaml.

Introduction

Laravel is a web application framework for PHP, released as free and open-source software under the MIT License.

The Bitnami Laravel Development Container has been carefully engineered to provide you and your team with a highly reproducible Laravel development environment. We hope you find the Bitnami Laravel Development Container useful in your quest for world domination. Happy hacking!

Getting started

Laravel requires access to a MySQL or MariaDB database to store information. We'll use the Bitnami Docker Image for MariaDB for the database requirements.

Step 1: Create a network

docker network create laravel-network

Step 2: Create a volume for MariaDB persistence and create a MariaDB container

$ docker volume create --name mariadb_data
docker run -d --name mariadb \
  --env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  --env MARIADB_USER=bn_myapp \
  --env MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_myapp \
  --network laravel-network \
  --volume mariadb_data:/bitnami/mariadb \
  bitnami/mariadb:latest

Step 3: Launch the container using the local current directory as volume

$ docker run -d --name laravel \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  --env DB_HOST=mariadb \
  --env DB_PORT=3306 \
  --env DB_USERNAME=bn_myapp \
  --env DB_DATABASE=bitnami_myapp \
  --network laravel-network \
  --volume ${PWD}/my-project:/app \
  bitnami/laravel:latest

Among other things, the above command creates a container service, named myapp, for Laravel development and bootstraps a new Laravel application in the application directory. You can use your favorite IDE for developing the application.

Note

If the application directory contained the source code of an existing Laravel application, the Bitnami Laravel Development Container would load the existing application instead of bootstrapping a new one.

After the application server has been launched in the myapp service, visit http://localhost:8000 in your favorite web browser and you'll be greeted by the default Laravel welcome page.

Warning: This quick setup is only intended for development environments. You are encouraged to change the insecure default credentials and check out the available configuration options for the MariaDB container for a more secure deployment.

Environment variables

Customizable environment variables

Read-only environment variables

Executing commands

Commands can be launched inside the myapp Laravel Development Container with docker using the exec command.

The general structure of the exec command is:

docker exec <container-name> <command>

where <command> is the command you want to launch inside the container.

Notable Changes

Starting January 16, 2024

• The docker-compose.yaml file has been removed, as it was solely intended for internal testing purposes.
