Where to put the php artisan migrate command

Question

Trying to deploy the laravel application on docker stack.What I am confused or not able to figure out is where can I run this php artisan migrate:fresh to generate the tables required in mysql.

The services and the task are running well

docker-compose.yml

version: '3.3'

networks:
  smstake: 
    ipam:
      config:
        - subnet: 10.0.10.0/24

services:

    db:
        image: mysql:5.7
        networks:
          - smstake
        ports:
          - "3306:3306"
        volumes:
          - db_data:/var/lib/mysql
        environment:
          MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: password
          MYSQL_DATABASE: smstake
          MYSQL_USER: root
          MYSQL_PASSWORD: password
        deploy:
          mode: replicated
          placement:
            constraints:
              - node.role == manager
    app:

        image: smstake:latest          
        ports:
          - 8000:80
        networks:
          - smstake

        command: docker-compose exec app php artisan migrate --seed
        deploy:
          mode: replicated
          replicas: 1
          placement:
            constraints:
              - node.role == manager
volumes:
    db_data:

Here is the dockerfile with which the image is generated

FROM alpine

ENV \
  APP_DIR="/app" \
  APP_PORT="80"

# the "app" directory (relative to Dockerfile) containers your Laravel app...
COPY app/ $APP_DIR
# or we can make the volume in compose to say use this directory 

RUN apk update && \
    apk add curl \
    php7 \
    php7-opcache \
    php7-openssl \
    php7-pdo \
    php7-json \
    php7-phar \
    php7-dom \
    php7-curl \
    php7-mbstring \
    php7-tokenizer \
    php7-xml \
    php7-xmlwriter \
    php7-session \
    php7-ctype \
    php7-mysqli \
    php7-pdo \
    php7-pdo_mysql\
    && rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*

RUN curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- \
  --install-dir=/usr/bin --filename=composer

RUN cd $APP_DIR && composer install

WORKDIR $APP_DIR

RUN chmod -R 775 storage
RUN chmod -R 775 bootstrap

#CMD php artisan migrate:fresh
CMD php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=$APP_PORT

Tried adding to the Dockerfile as is commented but didn't solve the problem

Tried adding on docker-compose as command: php artisan migrate:fresh too

Previously was doing this in jenkins to make it work Now dont want it via jenkins

docker-compose up -d --force-recreate --build 

#Running commands on already running service 
docker-compose exec -T app php artisan migrate:fresh --seed --force

Answer 1

This is how I solved it .Created a bash script called run.sh and added the php artisan migrations commands followed by the php serve command.

run.sh

#!/bin/sh

cd /app  
php artisan migrate:fresh --seed
php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=$APP_PORT

Added entrypoint to the Dockerfile removing the CMD in the end which will run the commands desired.

copy ./run.sh /tmp    
ENTRYPOINT ["/tmp/run.sh"]

Remove the command from the docker-compose.yml

Answer 2

Yes, special script. I try to build deploy and testing throw docker-compose, so i run migrations in script before starting supervisor in docker-service "jobs":

#!/bin/sh

cd /var/www
php artisan migrate --seed

/usr/bin/supervisord -n -c /etc/supervisord.conf

And piece from my deploy-docker-compose.yml:

services:
    nginx:
        depends_on:
            - phpfpm ## NOT START BEFORE PHPFPM

    phpfpm:
        depends_on: 
            - jobs ## NOT START BEFORE MIGRATION
    jobs:
        # ....

This schema is not started in production yet;

UPD1

i had to create simple laravel command wait_db_alive:

public function handle()
{
    $i = 1;
    $ret = 1;
    while($i <= 10){
        echo 'connecting to host:'.config('database.connections.'.config('database.default').'.host').' try '.$i.'..';
        try {
            DB::connection()->getPdo();
            echo 'ok'.PHP_EOL;
            $ret = 0;
            break;
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            echo 'error:' . $e->getMessage() .PHP_EOL;
            sleep(1);
            $i++;
        }
    }
    return $ret;
}

and edit init.sh to

#!/bin/sh

php artisan wait_db_alive && php artisan migrate --seed && /usr/bin/supervisord -n -c /etc/supervisord.conf

so, log for jobs:

jobs_1      | connecting to host:db try 1..error:SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused
jobs_1      | connecting to host:db try 2..error:SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused
jobs_1      | connecting to host:db try 3..ok
jobs_1      | Nothing to migrate.
jobs_1      | Seeding: ServicesTableSeeder
...
jobs_1      | Database seeding completed successfully.
jobs_1      | 2020-11-22 05:33:43,653 CRIT Supervisor is running as root.

UPD2

In some cases we need to start container without .env-file, then better init.sh for this:

#!/bin/sh
php artisan wait_db_alive && php artisan migrate --seed 
/usr/bin/supervisord -n -c /etc/supervisord.conf

Answer 3

To my opinion, automate migrate is not a good way when creating container. You can do this after container is up with this one line code manually;

docker exec your_container_name php artisan migrate

Answer 4

One quick way is to create temporary route to run migration.

Route::get('/migrate', function () {
    \Artisan::call('migrate');
    return \Artisan::output();
});

Answer 5

To run all migrate you need to be inside your container, for that you need to run your containers with docker-compose up , here u need to be with terminal in the directory where your docker-compose.yml file is.

after that, and with the same place of docker-compose.yml file, run this command to be inside your container:

docker exec -it name_of_container bash

and when you will be inside your container, go to your shared app inside the container, I think here is the app so cd app .

after all of this run:

php artisan migrate
