Laravel Anchor

Wrap docker management in a convenient Laravel package, just like Sail but with a different approach. Also make it usable in production. Laravel Sail is nice, but fails on one of the biggest promises of Docker: consistency between environments, a.k.a. build once, run everywhere.

Goals

• To enable all features in Laravel with the help of external services
  • Broadcasting/Websockets
  • Development mail
  • Queues
  • Task scheduling
  • Scout
• To configure this package with just a config file
• To support multiple environments with different services (e.g. xDebug in development)
• To create smaller images than Sail by using Alpine based Linux images
• Let's Encrypt support
• docker-sync on Mac host

composer require thomasmoors/anchor

Documentation

https://thomasmoors.github.io/anchor/

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Thomasmoors\Anchor\AnchorServiceProvider" --tag="anchor-migrations"
php artisan migrate

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Thomasmoors\Anchor\AnchorServiceProvider" --tag="anchor-config"

Naming

As most things Docker related get a nautical term or at least something related to boats, I thought it to be a good idea to use Anchor. As a bonus just like docker-compose you now can execute anchor up and anchor down which does exactly the same to the containers as it would do to a boat. 🙂

Usage

$anchor = new Thomasmoors\Anchor();
echo $anchor->echoPhrase('Hello, Spatie!');

Testing

composer test
