cd on my project

cd /Users/neisantos/src/laravel-project

considering I have a docker running using the name [APP]

alias artisan='[ -d /Users/neisantos/src/laravel-project ] && docker exec -it APP php artisan'

so I can only do the command below to execute artisan from my docker container.

artisan route:list

this alias will run only when running from the folder of my project.

when using package.json you could place it inside the "scripts" like

{
 ...
 "scripts":{
  "artisan": "docker exec -it CONTAINER-NAME php artisan --command process.env.command"
 }
...
}

then you could execute artisan-commands like that:

migrate:

npm run artisan migrate

version

npm run artisan --version

if using docker-compose

  1. first get into the container
docker-compose exec <container_name|id> bash
  1. now goto var/www/html directory and run your choice of command

This is the solution! Ok, for a while, I thought I was crazy, but I did not. The trick is set a PHP into host (for the CLI), matching with the docker PHP version, so: This image shows how the trick works

You'd need to change the path references to suit your own project, but this allows you to execute the artisan command from your host machine on the container without having to login.

docker exec -it <php-fpm-container> /var/www/html/artisan

Client (php artisan) on the host talking to server in a container is a solved problem:

This can be done in two ways. They make the server's port in the container accessible on the host:

  1. Publish the server's port to the host by passing -p to docker run. More info is here.

    docker run -p hostPort:containerPort ...

  2. Use Docker's "host networking" by passing --network host to docker run. More info is here.

    docker run --network host ...

To run commands from your host,

You can use Docker's exec command like this:

docker exec -it my-container-name /bin/bash

After that, you can run any command you want

php artisan --version
