nullstone/laravel repository overview

⁠nullstone/laravel

Laravel Base Image that is optimized for production and configured to operate locally the same way. This image is very opinionated; however, not restrictive.

This image is configured with:

• Server optimized for php-fpm⁠.
• Static assets and files are automatically added using ONBUILD during your docker build process.
• When making code changes, no need to rebuild/restart your container.
• Logs are emitted to stdout/stderr.
• The resulting image is small (~37mb).
• Preconfigured to attach nginx⁠ sidecar container. See below.

⁠Nginx sidecar

This image is configured to easily connect a sidecar container running nginx. By doing so, nginx can serve static assets with php requests forwarded to this container.

There are 3 volumes exposed in this image that are shared with the nginx sidecar. These volumes automatically configure nginx to serve static assets and php properly.

See examples/basic/docker-compose.yml⁠ for working example for local development.
