Usage#

This section covers building your application image, deployment conventions, and framework guides for Laravel and Symfony.

Dockerfile#

Create a Dockerfile in your project root. Copy application code into the image and install Composer dependencies at build time. Pin the OORT PHP version in the FROM line (see Versions).

Laravel

FROM thecaliskan/oort:8.5

WORKDIR /var/www

COPY --chown=oort:oort composer.json composer.lock ./
RUN composer install --no-dev --no-scripts --no-autoloader

COPY --chown=oort:oort . .
RUN composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader

RUN php artisan config:cache \
    && php artisan route:cache \
    && php artisan view:cache

docker build -t my-laravel-app .

Symfony

FROM thecaliskan/oort:8.5

WORKDIR /var/www

COPY --chown=oort:oort composer.json composer.lock symfony.lock ./
RUN composer install --no-dev --no-scripts --no-autoloader

COPY --chown=oort:oort . .
RUN composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader

RUN php bin/console cache:clear --env=prod \
    && php bin/console cache:warmup --env=prod

docker build -t my-symfony-app .

How OORT Runs#

OORT follows one container, one process:

  1. Build one application image per project.

  2. Run separate containers per role (web, queue worker, scheduler, etc.).

  3. Set the Artisan or Console command as the container command.

  4. Configure health checks and restart policies in your orchestrator.

This works the same across docker run, Docker Compose, Docker Swarm, and Kubernetes.

Dependencies#

Typical external services:

  • Redis — queues, broadcasting, caching

  • Database — PostgreSQL or MySQL

  • Secrets — via .env, Compose environment, or Kubernetes secrets (never in the image)

Framework Guides#

Each guide includes zero-to-production setup for every supported service, with deployment examples in four tabs: Docker Run, Docker Compose, Docker Swarm, and Kubernetes. Each guide also lists CI-tested framework and OORT version pairs.

Laravel

Supported versions, Octane, Horizon, Reverb, Queue, Scheduler, Pulse, and a full stack example.
