💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using composer update which updates packages instead of installing locked versions.

Using composer require which adds new packages.

Using dump-autoload which only regenerates autoload files.

The correct command is composer install to install dependencies listed in composer.json.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to expose the correct port and set the working directory in the Dockerfile.

Laravel

EXPOSE [1]
WORKDIR [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A8000

B/var/www/html

C8080

D/app

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Exposing port 8080 which is not default for Laravel.

Setting working directory to /app which is not where files are copied.

Laravel's built-in server commonly uses port 8000, and the working directory should be the web root /var/www/html.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to define a Docker Compose service for Laravel with build context, ports, and volumes.

Laravel

services:
  app:
    build: [1]
    ports:
      - "[2]:8000"
    volumes:
      - [3]:/var/www/html

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A.

B8000

C./src

D./app

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong build context folder that lacks Dockerfile.

Mapping wrong ports causing connection issues.

Mounting incorrect volume path that misses app files.

The build context is the current directory ., port 8000 is mapped, and the current directory is mounted as a volume to sync files.
