example for mysql
it will be mysql/Dockerfile
.
2 - Edit the file the way you want.
3 - Re-build the container:
More info on Containers rebuilding here.
Build/Re-build Containers
If you do any change to any Dockerfile
make sure you run this command, for the changes to take effect:
Optionally you can specify which container to rebuild (instead of rebuilding all the containers):
You might use the --no-cache
option if you want full rebuilding (docker-compose build --no-cache {container-name}
).
Add more Docker Images
To add an image (software), just edit the docker-compose.yml
and add your container details, to do so you need to be familiar with the docker compose file syntax.
View the Log files
The NGINX Log file is stored in the logs/nginx
directory.
However to view the logs of all the other containers (MySQL, PHP-FPM,âŚ) you can run this:

Install PHP Extensions
You can set extensions to install in the .env fileâs corresponding section (PHP_FPM
, WORKSPACE
, PHP_WORKER
),just change the false
to true
at the desired extensionâs line.After this you have to rebuild the container with the --no-cache
option.
Change the (PHP-FPM) Version
By default, the latest stable PHP version is configured to run.
The PHP-FPM is responsible for serving your application code, you donât have to change the PHP-CLI version if you are planning to run your application on different PHP-FPM version.
A) Switch from PHP 7.2
to PHP 5.6
1 - Open the .env
.
2 - Search for PHP_VERSION
.
3 - Set the desired version number:
4 - Finally rebuild the image
For more details about the PHP base image, visit the official PHP docker images.
Change the PHP-CLI Version
Note: itâs not very essential to edit the PHP-CLI version. The PHP-CLI is only used for the Artisan Commands & Composer. It doesnât serve your Application code, this is the PHP-FPM job.
The PHP-CLI is installed in the Workspace container. To change the PHP-CLI version you need to simply change the PHP_VERSION
in the .env file as follow:
1 - Open the .env
.
2 - Search for PHP_VERSION
.
3 - Set the desired version number:
4 - Finally rebuild the image
Change the PHP-CLI Version
Install xDebug
1 - First install xDebug
in the Workspace and the PHP-FPM Containers:

argument under the Workspace settings
c) set it to true
d) search for the PHP_FPM_INSTALL_XDEBUG
argument under the PHP-FPM settings
e) set it to true
2 - Re-build the containers docker-compose build workspace php-fpm
For information on how to configure xDebug with your IDE and work it out, check this Repository or follow up on the next section if you use linux and PhpStorm.
Start/Stop xDebug:
By installing xDebug, you are enabling it to run on startup by default.
To control the behavior of xDebug (in the php-fpm
Container), you can run the following commands from the Laradock root folder, (at the same prompt where you run docker-compose):
- Stop xDebug from running by default:
.php-fpm/xdebug stop
. - Start xDebug by default:
.php-fpm/xdebug start
. - See the status:
.php-fpm/xdebug status
.
Note: If .php-fpm/xdebug
doesnât execute and gives Permission Denied
error the problem can be that file xdebug
doesnât have execution access. This can be fixed by running chmod
command with desired access permissions.

Troubleshooting:
if you encounter a database error:
If you encounter logs error:
Prepare Laradock for Production
Itâs recommended for production to create a custom docker-compose.yml
file, for example, production-docker-compose.yml
In your new production docker-compose.yml
file, you should include only the containers you are planning to run in production (usage example: docker-compose -f production-docker-compose.yml up -d nginx mysql redis ...
).
Note: The Database (MySQL/MariaDB/âŚ) ports should not be forwarded on production, because Docker will automatically publish the port on the host unless specifically told not to. Forwarding these ports on production is quite insecure - so make sure to remove these lines:
To learn more about how Docker publishes ports, please read this excellent post on the subject.
Install Laravel from Container
1 - First you need to enter the Workspace Container.
2 - Install Laravel.
Example using Composer
We recommend using composer create-project
instead of the Laravel installer, to install Laravel.
For more about the Laravel installation click here.
3 - Edit .env
to Map the new application path:
By default, Laradock assumes the Laravel application is living in the parent directory of the laradock folder.
Since the new Laravel application is in the my-cool-app
folder, we need to replace ../:/var/www
with ../my-cool-app/:/var/www
, as follow:
4 - Go to that folder and start working.
5 - Go back to the Laradock installation steps to see how to edit the .env
file.
Run Artisan Commands
You can run artisan commands and many other Terminal commands from the Workspace container.
1 - Make sure you have the workspace container running.
2 - Find the Workspace container name:
3 - Enter the Workspace container:
Note: Should add --user=laradock
(example docker-compose exec --user=laradock workspace bash
) to have files created as your hostâs user to prevent issue owner of log file will be changed to root then laravel website cannot write on log file if using rotated log and new log file not existed
4 - Run anything you want :)
(browse the results at http://localhost:[WORKSPACE_VUE_CLI_SERVE_HOST_PORT]
)
(browse the results at http://localhost:[WORKSPACE_VUE_CLI_UI_HOST_PORT]
)

Run Laravel Scheduler
Laradock provides 2 ways to run Laravel Scheduler1. Using cron in workspace container.Most of the time, when you start Laradock, itâll automatically start workspace container with cron inside, along with setting to run schedule:run
command every minute.2. Using Supervisord in php-worker to run schedule:run
.This way is suggested when you donât want to start workspace in production environment. * Comment out cron setting in workspace container, file workspace/crontab/laradock
bash # * * * * * laradock /usr/bin/php /var/www/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

Below is example configuration with phpredis.Read the Laravel official documentation for more details.php'redis' => [ 'client' => 'phpredis', 'options' => [ 'cluster' => 'redis', ], 'clusters' => [ 'default' => [ [ 'host' => 'redis-cluster', 'password' => null, 'port' => 7000, 'database' => 0, ], ], ],],
Use Varnish
The goal was to proxy the request to varnish server using nginx. So only nginx has been configured for Varnish proxy.Nginx is on port 80 or 443. Nginx sends request through varnish server and varnish server sends request back to nginx on port 81 (external port is defined in VARNISH_BACKEND_PORT
).
The idea was taken from this post
The Varnish configuration was developed and tested for Wordpress only. Probably it works with other systems.
Steps to configure varnish proxy server:
- You have to set domain name for VARNISH_PROXY1_BACKEND_HOST variable.
- If you want to use varnish for different domains, you have to add new configuration section in your env file.
VARNISH_PROXY1_CACHE_SIZE=128mVARNISH_PROXY1_BACKEND_HOST=replace_with_your_domain.nameVARNISH_PROXY1_SERVER=SERVER1
- Then you have to add new config section into docker-compose.yml with related variables:
custom_proxy_name: container_name: custom_proxy_name build: ./varnish expose: - ${VARNISH_PORT} environment: - VARNISH_CONFIG=${VARNISH_CONFIG} - CACHE_SIZE=${VARNISH_PROXY2_CACHE_SIZE} - VARNISHD_PARAMS=${VARNISHD_PARAMS} - VARNISH_PORT=${VARNISH_PORT} - BACKEND_HOST=${VARNISH_PROXY2_BACKEND_HOST} - BACKEND_PORT=${VARNISH_BACKEND_PORT} - VARNISH_SERVER=${VARNISH_PROXY2_SERVER} ports: - '${VARNISH_PORT}:${VARNISH_PORT}' links: - workspace networks: - frontend
- change your varnish config and add nginx configuration. Example Nginx configuration is here:
nginx/sites/laravel_varnish.conf.example
. varnish/default.vcl
is old varnish configuration, which was used in the previous version. Usedefault_wordpress.vcl
instead.
How to run:
- Rename
default_wordpress.vcl
todefault.vcl
docker-compose up -d nginx
docker-compose up -d proxy
Keep in mind that varnish server must be built after Nginx cause varnish checks domain affordability.

Install PNPM
pnpm uses hard links and symlinks to save one version of a module only ever once on a disk. When using npm or Yarn for example, if you have 100 projects using the same version of lodash, you will have 100 copies of lodash on disk. With pnpm, lodash will be saved in a single place on the disk and a hard link will put it into the node_modules where it should be installed.
As a result, you save gigabytes of space on your disk and you have a lot faster installations! If youâd like more details about the unique node_modules structure that pnpm creates and why it works fine with the Node.js ecosystem.More info here: https://pnpm.js.org/en/motivation

Improve speed on MacOS
Docker on the Mac is slow, at the time of writing. Especially for larger projects, this can be a problem. The problem is older than March 2016 - as itâs a such a long-running issue, weâre including it in the docs here.
So since sharing code into Docker containers with osxfs have very poor performance compared to Linux. Likely there are some workarounds:
Workaround A: using dinghy
Dinghy creates its own VM using docker-machine, it will not modify your existing docker-machine VMs.
Quick Setup giude, (we recommend you check their docs)
1) brew tap codekitchen/dinghy
2) brew install dinghy
3) dinghy create --provider virtualbox
(must have virtualbox installed, but they support other providers if you prefer)
4) after the above command is done it will display some env variables, copy them to the bash profile or zsh or.. (this will instruct docker to use the server running inside the VM)
5) docker-compose up ...
Workaround B: using d4m-nfs
You can use the d4m-nfs solution in 2 ways, the first is by using the built-in Laradock integration, and the second is using the tool separately. Below is show case of both methods:
B.1: using the built in d4m-nfs integration
In simple terms, docker-sync creates a docker container with a copy of all the application files that can be accessed very quickly from the other containers.On the other hand, docker-sync runs a process on the host machine that continuously tracks and updates files changes from the host to this intermediate container.
Out of the box, it comes pre-configured for OS X, but using it on Windows is very easy to set-up by modifying the DOCKER_SYNC_STRATEGY
on the .env
Usage
Laradock comes with sync.sh
, an optional bash script, that automates installing, running and stopping docker-sync. Note that to run the bash script you may need to change the permissions chmod 755 sync.sh
1) Configure your Laradock environment as you would normally do and test your application to make sure that your sites are running correctly.
2) Make sure to set DOCKER_SYNC_STRATEGY
on the .env
. Read the syncing strategies for details.
3) set APP_CODE_CONTAINER_FLAG
to APP_CODE_CONTAINER_FLAG=:nocopy
in the .env file
4) Install the docker-sync gem on the host-machine:
5) Start docker-sync and the Laradock environment.Specify the services you want to run, as you would normally do with docker-compose up
Please note that the first time docker-sync runs, it will copy all the files to the intermediate container and that may take a very long time (15min+).6) To stop the environment and docker-sync do:
Setting up Aliases (optional)
You may create bash profile aliases to avoid having to remember and type these commands for everyday development.Add the following lines to your ~/.bash_profile
:
Now from any location on your machine, you can simply run devup
, devbash
and devdown
.
Additional Commands
Install Mysql Server Mac Brew Maker
Opening bash on the workspace container (to run artisan for example):
Manually triggering the synchronization of the files:
Removing and cleaning up the files and the docker-sync container. Use only if you want to rebuild or remove docker-sync completely. The files on the host will be kept untouched.
Additional Notes
- You may run laradock with or without docker-sync at any time using with the same
.env
anddocker-compose.yml
, because the configuration is overridden automatically when docker-sync is used. - You may inspect the
sync.sh
script to learn each of the commands and even add custom ones. - If a container cannot access the files on docker-sync, you may need to set a user on the Dockerfile of that container with an id of 1000 (this is the UID that nginx and php-fpm have configured on laradock). Alternatively, you may change the permissions to 777, but this is not recommended.
Visit the docker-sync documentation for more details.
B.2: using the d4m-nfs tool
D4m-nfs automatically mount NFS volume instead of osxfs one.
1) Update the Docker [File Sharing] preferences:
Click on the Docker Icon > Preferences > (remove everything form the list except /tmp
).
2) Restart Docker.
3) Clone the d4m-nfs repository to your home
directory.
4) Create (or edit) the file ~/d4m-nfs/etc/d4m-nfs-mounts.txt
, and write the following configuration in it:
5) Create (or edit) the file /etc/exports
, make sure it exists and is empty. (There may be collisions if you come from Vagrant or if you already executed the d4m-nfs.sh
script before).
6) Run the d4m-nfs.sh
script (might need Sudo):
Thatâs it! Run your containers.. Example:
Note: If you faced any errors, try restarting Docker, and make sure you have no spaces in the d4m-nfs-mounts.txt
file, and your /etc/exports
file is clear.
Upgrade Laradock
Moving from Docker Toolbox (VirtualBox) to Docker Native (for Mac/Windows). Requires upgrading Laradock from v3.* to v4.*:
- Stop the docker VM
docker-machine stop {default}
- Install Docker for Mac or Windows.
- Upgrade Laradock to
v4.*.*
(git pull origin master
) - Use Laradock as you used to do:
docker-compose up -d nginx mysql
.
Note: If you face any problem with the last step above: rebuild all your containersdocker-compose build --no-cache
