Before you begin setting up Laravel with Docker Compose, make sure you meet the following prerequisites:
|
||
|
||
## Docker and Docker Compose
|
||
|
||
You need Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system. Docker allows you to containerize applications, and Docker Compose helps you manage multi-container applications.
|
||
|
||
- Docker: Make sure Docker is installed and running on your machine. Refer to the [Docker installation guide](/get-docker/) to install Docker.
|
||
- Docker Compose: Docker Compose is included with Docker Desktop, but you can also follow the [Docker Compose installation guide](/compose/install/) if needed.
|
||
|
||
## Basic understanding of Docker and containers
|
||
|
||
A fundamental understanding of Docker and how containers work will be helpful. If you're new to Docker, consider reviewing the [Docker Overview](/get-started/overview/) to familiarize yourself with containerization concepts.
|
||
|
||
## Basic knowledge of Laravel
|
||
|
||
This guide assumes you have a basic understanding of Laravel and PHP. Familiarity with Laravel’s command-line tools, such as [Artisan](https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/artisan), and its project structure is important for following the instructions.
|
||
|
||
- Laravel CLI: You should be comfortable using Laravel’s command-line tool (`artisan`).
|
||
- Laravel Project Structure: Familiarize yourself with Laravel’s folder structure (`app`, `config`, `routes`, `tests`, etc.).
