Learn how To Setup Laravel In Docker Container environment locally on your machine.

laravel

Laradock is well-known package in the Laravel community. I will use Laradoc library to show you how to prepare Docker Container and run the laravel application in it. Docker is different from Homestead. Homestead creates a virtual machine while Docker, on the other hand, is pretty much the same as Vagrant, it also gives you the complete development environment but on Virtual Containers instead of Virtual Machine. Since running a virtual Container is much faster than running a full Virtual Machine, LaraDock is much quicker than Homestead. Homestead is just a command line tool that helps you to initialize and to boot a Virtual Machine via Vagrant. Where you SSH into that machine and start coding.
