A delightful CLI for Docker based Laravel developer environments and the cloud

Motivation

There are two main goals for this project:

1. Provide fully containerized developer environments for building Laravel applications
2. Adhere to the concept of development/production parity by ensuring that development environments are as close as possible to their production counterpart and can easily be deployed.

Fully Containerized

Every component in a Laravel Up project is containerized, including the PHP runtime itself. This means that there is actually no requirement to have PHP installed on your developer machine.

All the tools you would expect to have are included inside of the Laravel Up CLI. This includes PHP, Artisan, Composer and Tinker.

Dev Prod Parity

Laravel Up creates a Web Server container based on NGINX and an App Container based on PHP FPM 7.3.

Unlike other tools in the ecosystem like Laradock and Vessel, the container images created for you aim to be easily configurable and suitable for actual deployments to containerized environments including Kubernetes AWS ECS and Azure Container Instances.

Features

• Cross platform support. Works on Windows, Linux and Mac
• Simple Docker containers that are easily configurable and suitable for deployment
• Automatically configures XDebug
• Supports MySQL and Postgres environments
• Automatically configures Laravel ENV to connect to services in the Docker network
