Laravel Sail is a lightweight CLI for interacting with Laravel's Docker development environment.
curl -s "https://laravel.build/my-app" | bash
cd my-app
./vendor/bin/sail up -d
composer require laravel/sail --dev
php artisan sail:install
# Start in background
./vendor/bin/sail up -d
# Stop
./vendor/bin/sail down
# Stop and remove volumes
./vendor/bin/sail down -v
# Artisan
./vendor/bin/sail artisan migrate
# Composer
./vendor/bin/sail composer require package
# NPM
./vendor/bin/sail npm install
./vendor/bin/sail npm run dev
# PHP
./vendor/bin/sail php script.php
# Tinker
./vendor/bin/sail tinker
./vendor/bin/sail test
./vendor/bin/sail pest
Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:
alias sail='[ -f sail ] && sh sail || sh vendor/bin/sail'
Then use:
sail up -d
sail artisan migrate
sail npm run dev
php artisan sail:add
# Select services interactively
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=mysql
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel
DB_USERNAME=sail
DB_PASSWORD=password
REDIS_HOST=redis
php artisan sail:publish
Edit docker-compose.yml for custom configuration.
./vendor/bin/sail build --no-cache
# docker-compose.yml
services:
laravel.test:
ports:
- '${APP_PORT:-8080}:80' # Change 80 to 8080
sail root-shell
chown -R sail:sail /var/www/html/storage
✅ Use Sail for local development ✅ Add shell alias for convenience ✅ Match production services locally
❌ Don't use Sail in production ❌ Don't commit Docker volumes
