Dockerizing laravel application with nginx and php-fpm

To Dockerize a Laravel application with Nginx and PHP-FPM, you'll need to create several Dockerfiles and configuration files. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

Create a new Laravel project:

composer create --prefer-dist laravel/laravel project-name

Create a new directory for your Dockerfiles and configuration files:
```
mkdir docker
cd docker
```
Create a Dockerfile for your Laravel application:
```
touch Dockerfile
```
Open the Dockerfile in your favorite text editor and add the following content:
```
FROM php:7.4-fpm-alpine

RUN apk add --no-cache --update \
    zip \
    unzip \
    curl \
    git \
    && docker-php-ext-install pdo pdo_mysql zip \
    && apk del apk --purge \
    && rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*

WORKDIR /var/www/html

COPY . /var/www/html

RUN chmod -R 775 /var/www/html

EXPOSE 9000

CMD ["php-fpm"]
```
This Dockerfile uses the PHP 7.4 FPM Alpine image as the base image and installs the necessary dependencies and extensions for Laravel. It also sets the working directory to /var/www/html and copies the contents of the current directory to that location.
Create a Dockerfile for Nginx:
```
touch nginx.Dockerfile
```
Open the nginx.Dockerfile in your favorite text editor and add the following content:
```
FROM nginx:alpine

COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
COPY . /usr/share/nginx/html

EXPOSE 80

CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]
```
This Dockerfile uses the Nginx Alpine image as the base image and copies the nginx.conf file and the contents of the current directory to the Nginx HTML directory.

Create a nginx.conf file:

touch nginx.conf

Open the nginx.conf file in your favorite text editor and add the following content:

worker_processes 1;

events {
    worker_connections 1024;
}

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name localhost;

    location / {
        index-index.php index.php;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass php:9000;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/html$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

This configuration file sets up Nginx to listen on port 80 and serve PHP files using the PHP-FPM server running on port 9000.

Build the Docker images:

docker build -t project-name .
docker build -t project-name-nginx .

Run the Docker containers:
```
docker run -d --name project-name-php project-name-php
docker run -d --name project-name-nginx -p 80:80 project-name-nginx --link project-name-php:php
```
This command starts the PHP container and the Nginx container, and links the PHP container to the Nginx container so that Nginx can communicate with PHP-FPM.
Access your Laravel application: Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost. You should see your Laravel application running.

That's it! You've successfully Dockerized your Laravel application with Nginx and PHP-FPM. This setup provides a lightweight and portable environment for running your Laravel application.
