I still have a lot to learn, any advice appreciated. I have checked similar posts [1] [2] prior to writing mine.
Want:
A working dockerized Laravel (TALL) application for production that follows every possible best practice/convention.
I run into issues when I run php artisan config:cache as .env file gets cached into bootstrap/cache/config.php and the path values are all local (duh), so the app explodes when dockerized as docker-compose.yml has no idea where/how to look for environment variables in a non-env type file.
environment:
- APP_NAME=${APP_NAME}
- APP_ENV=${APP_ENV}
- APP_KEY=${APP_KEY}
- APP_DEBUG=${APP_DEBUG}
- APP_URL=${APP_URL}
- DB_CONNECTION=${DB_CONNECTION}
- DB_HOST=${DB_HOST}
- DB_PORT=${DB_PORT}
- DB_DATABASE=${DB_DATABASE}
- DB_USERNAME=${DB_USERNAME}
- DB_PASSWORD=${DB_PASSWORD}
I also tried running php artisan optimize inside container with .env file, but I get /var/www/service/vendor/autoload.php not found error, so I must be doing something wrong.
Have
AWS EC2 Instance.

Background:
I've been trying to dockerize my TALL Filament app for production for the past two weeks. Since it's for production and needs to be fast/lightweight, (If my understanding is correct) I cannot use Laravel Sail, though I did use it as a reference at one point. Deployment on AWS EC2.
I figured out (or at least I think) my docker-compose.yml and Dockerfile for the most part (the application is being served), but I don't know how to handle caching/optimization properly.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
