Dockerized Laravel and MySQL for local development
Docker is awesome. Its also quite useful for local development. The following Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml will be helpful if you want to do laravel development inside of docker. I am using Ubuntu as a base, but you can probably use the official PHP image as well. Dockerfile
FROM ubuntu:16.04RUN apt update RUN apt install -y php7.0 php7.0-zip php7.0-mbstring phpunit curl php7.0-mysql
RUN curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php RUN mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
RUN composer global require “laravel/installer”
RUN export PATH=$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH
version: '2' services: app: build: . ports: - "8000:8000" volumes: - .:/code env_file: .env working_dir: /code command: bash -c 'php artisan migrate && php artisan serve --host 0.0.0.0' depends_on: - db db: image: "mysql:5.7" environment: - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password - MYSQL_DATABASE=$your_db - MYSQL_USER=$your_db_user - MYSQL_PASSWORD=$your_db_password volumes: - ./data/:/var/lib/mysql ports: - "3306:3306"

Gotchas
- In order to do stuff with the database you should add the following record to your local
/etc/hosts
file# /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 db
- You should still install
npm
and runnpm install
from your local machine so that you can do frontend stuff. - Since we define
- .:/code
as a volume, this means that all of your local changes are immediately visible in the dockerized app. - If you need to access the running app or db container you can do so with
docker-compose run app bash
ordocker-compose run db bash

Storing times for human events
I've worked on various event websites in the past, and one of the unintuitively difficult problems that inevitably comes up is the best way to store the time that an event is happening. Based on that past experience, here's my current recommendati…

There’s a post on htmx.org about why htmx wasn’t the right fit for a particular project (which is dope, we need more websites that admit their thing might not be the right thing all the time). The bit on AI being unfamiliar with their tool choice piqued my…
