new project

[infacq]

I notice this is just for existing laravel project. How about a new one?

docker run -v $(pwd):/var/www geshan/laravel-alpine "composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog"

but I hit error

  To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in those .ini files:
    - /etc/php/php.ini
    - /etc/php/conf.d/ctype.ini
    - /etc/php/conf.d/curl.ini
    - /etc/php/conf.d/dom.ini
    - /etc/php/conf.d/json.ini
    - /etc/php/conf.d/mcrypt.ini

    - /etc/php/conf.d/phar.ini
    - /etc/php/conf.d/xml.ini
    - /etc/php/conf.d/zzz-custom.ini
  You can also run `php --ini` inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.

how do I go from here? I'm quite new to Docker, sorry if this too noob for you

[geshan]

can you please give it a try with the php-7 branch: https://github.com/geshan/docker-laravel-alpine/tree/php7-branch ?

Run the following command:

docker run -v $(pwd):/var/www geshan/laravel-alpine:php7 "composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog"

If you want to start a new project then its best to use the latest major version of PHP, PHP 7 :). Above command worked fine for me @infacq

[infacq]

yes it worked. Why not make it default to latest?

[infacq]

how do I run the server

[geshan]

It's not meant to serve pages "This image is made for running tests for laravel not serving it over a web servicer like Nginx. It is primarily being used to run unit tests on Wercker. ". For a nginx and MySQL setup try this: https://geshan.com.np/blog/2015/10/getting-started-with-laravel-mariadb-mysql-docker/ it's a year and half old so hopefully still works :). Thanks.

oh I see.. :p
