laraveldocker (Lightning Fast)

This is a proof of concept application which uses fig to set up a quick easy deploy on git push with the flexibility of using arbitrary docker containers, and how quickly a local development environment (even with non-trivial dependencies such as beanstalkd) can be bootstrapped which is very similar to production.

To set up:

Locally

1. Make sure fig and docker are installed.
2. Run fig up in the top level directory to view the app. The app will automatically run migrations, seed the database etc. on container start.
3. Visit localhost:8000 (or boot2docker:8000) in your browser.

Deploy

1. Spin up a new VPS, user, etc.
2. Install fig and docker.
3. Run the following commands on the server:

$ cd
$ mkdir laraveldocker
$ mkdir laraveldocker_deploy
$ cd laraveldocker
$ git init --bare
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nathanleclaire/laraveldocker/master/hooks/post-receive -O hooks/post-receive
$ chmod +x hooks/post-receive

4. Great, now you just have to run some commands on the client (your laptop etc.) to set up deploy-on-push. First, clone the repo and add the new server as a remote:

$ git clone https://github.com/nathanleclaire/laraveldocker
$ cd laraveldocker
$ git remote add prod user@vpsIpAddress:laraveldocker
$ git push prod master

The first time this push runs, it will take some time, as the VPS needs to download and build the dependencies it needs to run the application. On subsequent pushes everything will go much faster.

That's it! Now you should be able to go to vpsIpAddress and see the application running.
