Laradock: multiple projects on localhost

Question

I've installed Laradock but can not setup multiple projects on localhost for development.

1) Cloning Laradock git repo

git clone https://github.com/Laradock/laradock.git

2) Creating several project folders

- laradock
- new-project
  ﹂index.php
- test-project
  ﹂index.php

3) Setting up Nginx config files for each project

laradock/nginx/sites/new-project.conf

server {

    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

    server_name ~^(?<project>.+)\.laradock\.dev$;
    root /var/www/$project;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;
...
}

And the same config for laradock/nginx/sites/test-project.conf

4) Compose

docker-compose up -d nginx mysql phpmyadmin

---

As the result Nginx container fails:

$ docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                 COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS                     PORTS                                                                                                    NAMES

But if I remove config file from nginx/sites and leave just one of them working ie test-project.conf it works fine as for one project. I enter localhost in address bar and it loads the page correctly just in case if there is one config file in nginx/sites but not two of or more.

How to setup Nginx config files properly to handle multiple projects on localhost? Is there any way to hardcode server_name value instead of using variable $project ?

Answer 1

I copied the default.conf file for every new config. In every new created conf file i needed to remove the ssl ipv6only=on part

from this:

listen 443 ssl;
listen [::]:443 ssl ipv6only=on;

to this:

listen 443 ssl;
listen [::]:443;

I found it out because of this thread on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/laravel/comments/9ubn31/laradock_nginx_issue_for_multi_site_configuration/

Now it works fine. Hope this helps.
