Docker files for building PHP7 to use in your Laravel Projects

Dockerfile for Laravel 5.1+ and PHP 7.0

This Docker container builds the latest version of PHP 7.0 on Ubuntu as well as all the PHP extensions needed for Laravel 5.1+. It also includes composer and some nice command line apps like vi for debugging/editing files.

I took pieces from Heroku's PHP 7.0 buildpack and a couple other PHP 7.0 Docker containers that I found. I welcome pull requests or suggestions for improvements on the Github Repo.

This container is intended for local development only, and I wouldn't recommend trying to deploy it. My goal with this Dockerfile was to create a way to quickly test whether an existing Laravel app would work in PHP7, and for that, it works well. In a real production environment, I'd recommend using a Docker compose file and individual Docker containers for each service required to run your application (eg: Apache, PHP7, NGINX, etc.).

Running this Container

Note: I'm assuming you've set up Docker and a VM (if necessary). If not, start here.

• Navigate to the root of your Laravel project
• Currently you have to update the /storage folder permissions to 777. This is due to the fact that the docker container mounts the whole volume of your Laravel application.
• Download the latest version of the base PHP7/Laravel Docker container: docker pull karllhughes/laravel-php-7
• From the root of your Laravel project, run docker run -it -v $PWD:/www -p 80:80 karllhughes/laravel-php-7 to bring up the container's command line.
• From the container's command line, run any of the following commands:
  • cd /www to navigate to the web root
  • apachectl start (must be run to start Apache)
  • composer install or composer update
  • php vendor/bin/phpunit to run unit tests
• View your Laravel project by going to localhost or the IP address of your Virtualbox or server that's running Docker.

laravel-php-7's Issues

Internal server error

I setuped your docker imahe on DigitalOcean, everything works fine, i used clean laravel default project . But when i trying to get response from ip adress i got this in browser

Don't mount /storage and /vendor folders

Rather than mount the laravel /storage and /vendor folders, I'd like to allow the container to create and use its own. This allows for permissions to be set properly on the storage folder and for composer install to run independent of the machine running docker.

Upgrade to PHP 7.1

Since PHP 7.1 is out, this should be upgraded as well
