Keeping it uniform between development, staging and production environments is often something not easy. On the last years, our buddy Docker has become more and more mature and now it's becoming the standard.

We all love Laravel and Vue.JS, but why develop a Rock Star code with a Kick-Ass framework without an awesome environment?

No more "it worked on my machine"!

Ambientum can help you doing some amazing things, the 3 main scenarios are listed above:

• Run Laravel and/or Vue.JS in Development.
• Run Laravel and/or Vue.JS in Production (Continuous Integration included).
• Replace local dependencies with Docker commands.

Before staging with Ambientum, a few pieces of knowledge must be in place:

• The basics of Docker and Containers.
• Being comfortable around the command line.

• Know how to operate docker-compose.

Docker compose shipped with Docker is usually very old. Please have the latest version installed from Github at https://github.com/docker/compose/releases.

If you are already comfortable with the tools and have played around Ambientum, here are the set of images available for usage, so you can start building your environment with the tools that you may want.

With Ambientum, you may replace local Node.JS and PHP installations.

That's due usage of Ambientum/CLI

Option 1: Using a locally installed NPM.

npm -g install @ambientum/cli

Option 2: Using pre-built binaries at https://github.com/ambientum/cli/releases/tag/0.1.1:

curl -L https://github.com/ambientum/cli/releases/download/v0.1.1/amb-`uname -s` -o /usr/local/bin/amb
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/amb

Everything Node.JS related can be executed by amb -n.

amb -n npm -g install @vue/cli
amb -n vue create my-project

Everything PHP related can be executed by amb -p .

amb -p composer create laravel/laravel my-project

Or even run php against a single file:

amb -p php test.php

In order to use those images, you may use manually docker-compose.yml creation, or use amb to generate for you!

amb init
