As of my last update, Laravel 12 has not been released, so I can't provide specific details about changes in that version. However, I can offer some general guidance on using Laravel Sail, which is a lightweight command-line interface for interacting with Laravel's Docker environment.
If the official documentation has removed specific instructions for installing Laravel with Sail, it might be due to changes in the recommended installation process or updates in the Laravel ecosystem. However, you can still install Laravel with Sail using the following steps, which are generally applicable to recent Laravel versions:
-
Install Laravel via Composer:
First, ensure you have Composer installed on your system. Then, you can create a new Laravel project using Composer:
composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app -
Navigate to Your Project Directory:
cd example-app -
Install Laravel Sail:
You can add Sail to your project using Composer:
composer require laravel/sail --dev -
Publish Sail's Docker Configuration:
After installing Sail, you can publish its Docker configuration using the following Artisan command:
php artisan sail:installThis command will prompt you to select the services you want to include in your Docker setup (e.g., MySQL, Redis, etc.).
-
Start the Docker Environment:
Once the Docker configuration is published, you can start the Docker environment using Sail:
./vendor/bin/sail upThis command will start the Docker containers defined in the
docker-compose.ymlfile. -
Access Your Application:
After the containers are up and running, you can access your Laravel application at
http://localhost.
If there are any specific changes or updates in Laravel 12 regarding Sail, I recommend checking the official Laravel documentation or the release notes for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
