Why can't I go to localhost using Laradock?

I'm getting error: This page isn’t working

I ran the following command inside the Laradock directory yet it's not connecting when I go to localhost. docker-compose up -d nginx postgres

$ docker ps

docker-compose ps returns these results:

$ docker-compose ps

Any help would be much appreciated.

Solution

  • I figured this out. I edited my docker-compose file volume to be /local/path/to/default.conf:/etc/nginx/sites-available

    This is a problem because nginx looks for default.conf file but the volumes flag was setting sites-available as the file. I thought docker volume would symlink the file into the site-available directory not make it a file.

    The correct volume syntax should be: /local/path/to/default.conf:/etc/nginx/sites-available/default.conf
