Your laravel app goes in a folder app at the same level as the present files. You must change your .env or the compose file to match the database username and password. The .env file here is an example of possible configuration.

docker compose up

The app may be accessible at app.localhost

If you plan to use Reverb, Horizon, Octane, you might want to install them in your project:

php artisan install:broadcasting

composer require laravel/horizon --ignore-platform-reqs
php artisan horizon:install

composer require laravel/octane
php artisan octane:install

The --ignore-platform-reqs is important if you're on Windows because horizon can't run on windows.

If you have trouble with cors(Cross-Origin Request Blocked) with inertia and https in local development, add $middleware->trustProxies(at: '*') in /bootstrap/app;
