Laravel Sail

Docker-based local development environment for Laravel applications, driven by a sail command-line script stored in the project.

Laravel Sail is a command-line interface for Laravel’s default Docker development environment. It is added to a project with Composer, and the sail:install Artisan command sets it up. The services it runs are defined in the application’s compose.yaml file, which contains a MySQL container and a MongoDB Atlas Local container. The package is maintained by Taylor Otwell under the MIT license and belongs to the Laravel organization on GitHub.

Worth knowing

The README states that, other than Docker, no software or libraries are required on the local computer. The project states support for macOS, Linux and Windows through WSL2. The README states that Sail is derived from Vessel, a tool by Chris Fidao.
