On the Hackernoon.com site they've posted a tutorial showing you how to set up a Docker image of a Laravel application to help speed up your development using the framework and standardize the environment it lives in.

With this article you’ll learn how to prepare a Docker image of a Laravel application, push it to the registry, and use Docker in Continuous Delivery.

The post starts with a brief introduction of the two technologies at play, the Laravel framework and Docker, and what they provide. The tutorial then walks you through the entire process of setup, configuration and deployment of the Docker image:

• Install Docker
• Write a Dockerfile (including the install of Laravel)
• Build Docker image (and Run)

At this point you have the image set up and ready to serve Laravel requests so they move on to sharing the image out on a Docker registry. In this case they opt to deploy it to hub.docker.com and use the login and push commands to quickly and easily share your creation. Finally they provide some use cases for this kind of deployment including creating standard development environments, using them for testing and keeping a consistent environment between development, staging and production.
