Run existing Laravel project with sail

I have an existing Laravel project which I created with the following command.

curl -s https://laravel.build/example-app | bash

The project was created successfully and when I start it with command ./vendor/bin/sail up it works fine.

I want to clone the project on my second machine and start with sail. I found the following link from documentation which gives you possibility to run composer install even if you don't have composer installed on your OS.

docker run --rm \
    -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
    -v $(pwd):/var/www/html \
    -w /var/www/html \
    laravelsail/php81-composer:latest \
    composer install --ignore-platform-reqs

This basically starts a docker container which has php and composer installed and runs composer install.

Installing packages work fine, but whenever I run ./vendor/bin/sail up then it throws errors and the application is not started.

enter image description here It looks like some packages were not installed.

Has anyone had the same issue?

Solution

  • The problem is that you should update laravel/sail package first and then run composer install.

    docker run --rm \
    -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
    -v $(pwd):/var/www/html \
    -w /var/www/html \
    laravelsail/php81-composer:latest \
    composer update laravel/sail

    docker run --rm \
    -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
    -v $(pwd):/var/www/html \
    -w /var/www/html \
    laravelsail/php81-composer:latest \
    composer install --ignore-platform-reqs
