✅ Step 1: Install Docker​

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh
sudo apt update
sudo systemctl enable docker
sudo systemctl start docker

✅ Step 2: Create docker-compose.yml​

nano docker-compose.yml

Paste the following:

# docker-compose.yml

```yaml
services:
  app:
    container_name: tadreeblms_app
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "8000:80"
    volumes:
      - laravel_storage:/var/www/html/storage
      - laravel_cache:/var/www/html/bootstrap/cache
    networks:
      - appnet

  db:
    container_name: tadreeblms_db
    image: mysql:8.0
    restart: unless-stopped
    env_file:
      - .env.example
    volumes:
      - mysql_data:/var/lib/mysql
    networks:
      - appnet

networks:
  appnet:

volumes:
  mysql_data:
  laravel_storage:
  laravel_cache:
```

Save:
- Press `CTRL + O` → Enter
- Press `CTRL + X`

## ✅ Step 3: Run Containers
```bash
sudo docker-compose up -d

✅ Step 4: Open Port 8000 (AWS EC2)​

Go to AWS EC2 → Security Groups → Inbound Rules

Add rule:

  • Type: Custom TCP
  • Port: 8000
  • Source: 0.0.0.0/0

✅ Step 5: Access Application​

Open in browser:

http://<your-server-ip>:8000

✅ Step 6: Run Installer​

Enter database details:

  • Host: db
  • Port: 3306
  • Database: tadreeblms
  • Username: tadreeb
  • Password: secret

🔍 Troubleshooting​

Check running containers:

docker ps

Check logs:

docker-compose logs -f

Check DB logs:

docker-compose logs -f db

🧠 Notes​

  • No need to clone project on server
  • No need Dockerfile on server
  • Image is pulled from Docker Hub
  • docker-compose is only used to run services

🔥 Final Flow​

Install Docker → Create compose → Run → Open port → Access app → Install
