- What is thedevopser/dockerize-me and what does it do?
- Dockerize-me is a Symfony bundle that helps you dockerize an application quickly using FrankenPHP. It provides a Symfony Console command that asks a few questions in English and generates a ready-to-use Docker setup under a docker/ folder at your project root. The goal is a repeatable Docker workflow without hand-writing compose files.
- Is Dockerize-me a Laravel package or a Symfony bundle?
- Dockerize-me is a Symfony bundle, not a Laravel package. It ships a Symfony Console command and does not describe a Laravel service provider or Artisan command. The marketing blurb mentions Laravel apps, so Laravel developers can reuse the generated Docker files but should not expect native Laravel integration.
- How do I install Dockerize-me with Composer?
- Install it with composer require thedevopser/dockerize-me. In a Symfony app, enable the bundle in config/bundles.php and then run the provided console command. Laravel does not auto-discover Symfony bundles, so Laravel users should review the generated files or run the command in a Symfony context.
- How do I run the Dockerize-me command to generate Docker files?
- After installing and enabling the bundle, run its Symfony Console command from your project root. The command asks a few questions in English and then writes a ready-to-use Docker setup under docker/. Check the repository README for the exact command name and options.
- What files does Dockerize-me create in the docker/ folder?
- Dockerize-me creates a docker/ folder at your project root containing the Docker configuration for a FrankenPHP-based setup. The exact file list is not specified in the provided context, but expect Dockerfile and related compose or configuration files. Review the generated files before committing them to your repository.
- Can I use Dockerize-me with a Laravel application?
- The package is described as a Symfony bundle with a Symfony Console command, not a native Laravel package. The blurb says it generates Docker configuration for Laravel apps, so Laravel teams can use the generated docker/ files as a starting point. Expect to adapt paths, PHP extensions, and build steps for your Laravel application.
- Which Laravel versions are supported by Dockerize-me?
- The provided context does not list Laravel version support because Dockerize-me is a Symfony bundle. It does not appear to ship a Laravel service provider or Artisan command. Treat the generated Docker files as framework-agnostic and test them against your app's PHP version and extensions.
- Is Dockerize-me suitable for production deployment or only local development?
- Dockerize-me is intended to containerize local development and deployment, and FrankenPHP can run in production. You should still review the generated setup for production concerns such as OPcache, worker mode, HTTPS, and secret management. Do not deploy without testing the build and runtime configuration in a staging environment.
- How do I test my app with the Docker setup generated by Dockerize-me?
- Build and run the generated containers, then execute your test suite inside the app container or against the running service. For Laravel, run php artisan test inside the container after adapting the setup. Also verify that FrankenPHP serves the correct public directory and that health checks pass.
- Is Dockerize-me actively maintained, and what are the alternatives?
- The context does not include release history or maintenance status, so check the GitHub repository for recent commits, issues, and tagged releases. Pin a version in composer.json and review changes before updating. For Laravel-native Docker workflows, common alternatives include Laravel Sail, Laradock, and hand-written Docker Compose files.
