• Many introductory articles are available online. I found these three particularly beginner-friendly:
  Docker Tutorial Series from Basics to Advanced
  Docker Tutorial Series (2): Docker Build
  Docker Tutorial Series (3): Docker-Compose

Docker

• You can directly pull an image using the command (take nginx as an example):

  docker pull nginx  
  

Dockerfile

• Essentially a text file describing how an image is built.
• After writing a Dockerfile, execute docker build to construct the image based on the instructions.
• Built images can be pushed to repositories, with Docker Hub being the most commonly used official repository.

Docker Compose

• Docker prefers splitting services into separate containers for easier management and partial rebuilding when environments change (compared to bundling everything in a single container).

First Steps

• Run docker pull php-fpm, then execute commands like apt and docker-php-ext-enable directly in the container.
• Note: The php-fpm image is built on Ubuntu. Check its Dockerfile to see available commands.

LaraDock Pitfalls and Solutions

• The php-worker container cannot write logs directly to the project. Consider using Redis instead.

Configuring Supervisor in laradock with php-worker

• The php-worker container doesn’t have bash access (unlike other containers).
• Supervisord automatically keeps processes alive based on configurations when the php-worker container starts.
• After modifying supervisord configurations, rebuild the container:

  docker-compose build php-worker && docker-compose up -d php-worker  
  

• If using Redis as the queue driver, install it in the php-worker container by setting .env:

  PHP_WORKER_INSTALL_REDIS=true
