Install Laravel with DDEV

What is Laravel

Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We’ve already laid the foundation — freeing you to create without sweating the small things.

Install Laravel

In order to create a Laravel project follow the installation instructions here.

A normal composer build can be done with

mkdir newsite
cd newsite
ddev config --project-type=php
ddev composer create --prefer-dist laravel/laravel
ddev config --docroot=public && ddev start

Setup .env file

Laravel uses its .env file to hold its config. An example file can be found in the root of the repo as .env.example.

NOTE: If you have used the composer installer ddev composer create --prefer-dist laravel/laravel then the .env file will have been automatically created for you. This will also set the application key so there is no need to run php artisan key:generate.

Edit the .env file or make a copy of the .env.example file and name it .env and update the database details to be:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=db
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=db
DB_USERNAME=db
DB_PASSWORD=db

These would change if you set the db credentials to something else in .ddev/docker-compose.yaml

Start up

  • ddev start
  • ddev ssh
  • Run php artisan key:generate this sets the application key via artisan
  • Visit the site URL (like https://laravel.ddev.site) and you should see the default welcome page
