Laravel on EasyEngine 4?

v4
#1

I have several laravel projects working great in EasyEngine 3, however, I was trying to move everything over to EasyEngine 4 and I’m stuck w/ trying to figure out the best way to get Laravel setup.

Before, I had my laravel project in it’s own folder, like:
/var/www/example.com/laravel/

And then I’d have a symlink from htdocs to the laravel public folder, like:
/var/www/example.com/htdocs -> laravel/public/

but I don’t seem to be able to do this w/ EasyEngine 4 because of how the docker image is setup. I’m still pretty unfamiliar with docker, though… so perhaps there is a way?

Right now, when I SFTP into the site, I am logged into ~/htdocs, I can get to ~/ but it is owned by root, so I can’t create the laravel directory or setup a symlink.

Further, I can’t seem to do any git commands because they’re not installed in the docker image. As well as other utilities I often use, like ack-grep.

Does any one have any ideas/thoughts/tips? I didn’t find anything in the github repo, forums, or website docs that has helped with these issues.

Thanks!

I don’t know how Laravel is setup but you can install anything you want once you open a shell inside your container.

Hi,
If want to keep working as you did on EE3 you could try WordOps, which is a fork of EE3 and very updated. I had the same problem trying EE4 (and other migration issues) and finally I’m really satisfied with WordOps.

As an alternatif, you could try LEMPer stack manager, it is natively support Laravel.
