Clone a laravel and dockerize it to run the project locally, but I don’t know what to do to connect to a remote database, that is, I don’t want to create a mysql container, to connect to said database I have the host, a user and password, I want to know, what can I do to connect my container to that database? Then I add my docker compose and my dockerfile.
docker compose
version: "3.4"
services:
project:
build:
context: ./
image: project:latest
ports:
- "80:80"
dockerfile
FROM php:8.0-fpm

You can pass your database configuration using environment variables through docker-compose
You can also (for convenience) add your local .env file (or what ever your are using for db creds:
Makes life easier if you are having an environmant defined anyways 🙂
