How to run blog locally?

Clone the project:

git clone [email protected]:gomzyakov/laravel-blog.git

I believe you already have Docker installed. If not, just do it on Mac, Windows or Linux.

Copy the environment settings:

cp .env.local .env

Build the laravel-blog image with the following command:

docker compose build --no-cache

This command might take a few minutes to complete.

When the build is finished, you can run the environment in background mode with:

docker compose up -d

We’ll now run composer install to install the application dependencies:

docker compose exec app composer install

Set encryption key with the artisan Laravel command-line tool:

docker compose exec app ./artisan key:generate --ansi

Migrate DB & seed fake data:

docker compose exec app ./artisan migrate:fresh --seed

And open http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your favorite browser. Happy using Laravel Blog!

How to get inside the container?

Access to the Docker container:

docker exec -ti laravel-blog-app bash
