Dockerizing a laravel application.

Useful notes:

• Clone the repo into your root of your project.
• Make sure file and folder ownership is set to a user with id and gid of 1000, and if didn't exist create one.
• Make sure docker/entrypoint.sh has 755 permission.
• Make sure .env file exists with DOCKER_APP_CONTAINER_NAME, DOCKER_APP_PORT and DOCKER_DB_CONTAINER_NAME keys defined as they define the container names, for example first one could be app and database could be app_database.
• Don't forget to manually run composer install / update just in case the default one fails.
• Shell into the docker to run necessary commands such as php artisan migrate;
• Command for rebuilding container after changes or pulls, sudo docker compose build --no-cache && sudo docker compose up --force-recreate -d.
• Importing data from sql dump in to database container, sudo docker exec -i container_name mysql -uuser -ppassword database_name < file.sql.
• Remove ports section from docker compose file if you are running your webserver in a container as this helps to prevent ip:port access to your docker containers.
