Comments on Dockerizing Laravel with Nginx MySQL and Docker Compose on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

In this guide, we're going to show you how to Dockerize the Laravel project with PHP-FPM, MySQL database, and the Nginx web server using the Docker Compose on the Ubuntu Server 18.04. We're going to create a new docker image for the Laravel Project, and then create the docker-compose.yml script that contains some services including, the App/Laravel itself, Nginx web server, and MySQL database.

Thank you very much for the tutorial. It's very straight forward and easy to understand. I've finished all the procedures, no error during the process. The porblem is, I dont have a SSL certificate. It this step, you have mentined 

After that, copy your ssl certificate file to the 'nginx/ssl/' directory.

 

sudo cp /path/to/ssl/fullchain.pem nginx/ssl/sudo cp /path/to/ssl/privkey.pem nginx/ssl/

Now, after putting the URL in the bowser, there is error that "The site can't be reach". Can you please help me out here?

@Rati I am replying you just because this wonderful tutorial helped me to successfuly setup docker with a laravel application.

You need ssl (most time) only when you're dealing with a live website. You don't need an ssl for local development so I will advise that you remove anything related to ssl.

Your docker -compose Nginx setup will endup looking like this:

#Nginx Service nginx: image: nginx:alpine container_name: nginx restart: unless-stopped tty: true ports: - "80:80" # - "443:443" volumes: - ./:/var/www/html - ./nginx/conf.d/:/etc/nginx/conf.d/ # - ./nginx/ssl/:/etc/nginx/ssl/ networks: - laravel

And in your laravel.conf, you should remove the ssl related part and you're left with something like this:

server { listen 80;   error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log; access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log; root /var/www/html/public; index index.php index.html; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; gzip_static on; } location ~ \.php$ { try_files $uri =404; fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_pass app:9000; fastcgi_index index.php; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info; } }

PS: I am able to access the Laravel site on port 80, and I have not been able to switch to other port.
