## Notes

Laradock is a Docker Compose setup for running PHP projects locally. It ships pre-configured containers for a web server, PHP and other services, and a command-line script that starts the stack. Clone the repository into a PHP project and start it with the script, or run Docker Compose directly against the same files.

The stack runs on Linux, macOS and Windows and needs Docker with Compose v2.20 or newer. The project's ship command builds a production image from the stack, which can then run on Kubernetes, Google Cloud Run, AWS ECS, Kamal or a single server. The MIT-licensed project is maintained by Mahmoud Zalt and contributors.
