Rewrite of Build a Video Game Aggregator

Running in Docker

• Boot Docker and start a container
  • make sure docker is using WSL and the correct Linux distro:
    • Docker -> settings -> resources -> WSL integration -> Enable integration with additional distros
• Open windows terminal with a Linux tab
  • To open a new tab using Linux, use the caret symbol next to the +
• cd to the working directory you want
  • for example from /mnt/c/Users/Jess/Documents/ to /mnt/g/Jess/Code
  • Access the current folder via Windows with explorer.exe .
• run the Laravel install command
• run the command given to start Laravel Sail
  • For instance, cd coop-games && ./vendor/bin/sail up

  • The first time you run the Sail up command, Sail's application containers will be built on your machine. This could take several minutes. Don't worry, subsequent attempts to start Sail will be much faster.

  • Once the application's Docker containers have been started, you can access the application in your web browser at: http://localhost
