Hands-On Full Stack Web Development with Angular 6 and Laravel 5

Building the application for production

Let's make some adjustments in our docker-compose.yml file and add the image of the frontend application.

Open ./Client/docker-compose.yml and add the following code:

appserver:
  image: 'angular-laravel-book'
  container_name: chapter-11-appserver
  # Build the image if don't exist
  build: './Client'
  ports:
    - 3000:81

Note the commented lines. As part of the build command, we are using the angular-laravel-book image created with the npm run build:docker command. So, if you forget to run the build script, every time you run the docker-compose up -d command, the image will be created (if it does not already exist).
