To get started, run sh init.sh in the root directory.

For manually starting:

install docker desktop

cd into the laravel folder

run docker-compose up

run docker-compose exec laravel composer install

run docker-compose exec laravel composer dump-autoload

run docker-compose exec laravel php artisan migrate:fresh

cd into vue folder

run npm install && npm run dev

Laravel api uses localhost/api as the base url. VueJS app uses localhost:8080 for live development. When deploying to production, VueJS routes will be served at localhost through an nginx proxy container, no need for adding the port.

Uncomment the lines in vue.dockerfile comment out what isn't uncommented.

Permissions errors when running docker on windows with laravel happen due to file ownership differences in your project folder vs inside the docker container. I've added a user in docker.compose under laravel to fix this error. No need for chmod or chown commands.
