# Laravel Starter Example

This is a [Laravel](https://laravel.com/) starter app that connects to a Railway Postgres database.

[![Deploy on Railway Test](https://railway.app/button.svg)](https://railway.app/new/template/fWEWWf)

## ✨ Features

- PHP

- Laravel

- Postgres

## 💁‍♀️ How to use

- [Create a Railway project with the Postgres plugin](https://railway.app/project?plugins=postgresql)

- Connect to your Railway project with `railway link`

## 📝 Notes

- **Dockerfile**: The `Dockerfile` and associated files in `docker/` are based on [Laravel Sail PHP 8.0](https://github.com/laravel/sail/tree/1.x/runtimes/8.0)

- **Plugin Config**: To connect to a Railway Plugin, Postgres for example, you will need to utilize the environment variables listed for that plugin in the [Railway Docs](https://docs.railway.app/).

  See the `.env.example` for an example of using these with Postgres.

- **Web server port**: Railway dynamically assigns a port for your webserver. We grab the `$PORT` environment variable in `docker/start-container` to set this on Artisan `serve`

- **Logging**: Because the disk on Railway containers is ephemeral, we pipe the logs normally output to `storage/logs/laravel.log` to `stdout` [as seen here](https://github.com/sorrell/railavel/commit/2802b8c5032a13a601a903276ee2181678009f67)

- **APP_KEY**: This starter will automatically generate the `APP_KEY` (`php artisan key:generate` in the `docker/start-container`)

- **Migrations**: This starter automatically runs migrations on deploy (in the `docker/start-container`)
