- File paths and project structure
- .env configuration requirements

## Service Credentials (Defaults)

| Service    | Host     | Port | User    | Password  |
|------------|----------|------|---------|-----------|
| MySQL      | mysql    | 3306 | laravel | secret    |

## Key Commands

### Status & Health
```bash
docker-local status          # Check all services and containers
docker-local doctor          # Full health check with diagnostics
docker-local fix             # Auto-fix common issues
```

### Container Management
```bash
docker-local up              # Start all containers
docker-local down            # Stop all containers
docker-local restart         # Restart all containers
docker-local logs [service]  # View logs (nginx, php, mysql, redis, traefik)
```

### Project Management
```bash
docker-local link            # Rescan and link all projects
docker-local list            # List all detected projects
docker-local make:laravel X  # Create new Laravel project
docker-local open [project]  # Open project in browser
```

### SSL Certificates
```bash
docker-local ssl:status      # Check certificate status
docker-local ssl:regenerate  # Regenerate all certificates
```

### Database
```bash
docker-local db:create X     # Create MySQL database
docker-local db:mysql        # Open MySQL CLI
docker-local db:postgres     # Open PostgreSQL CLI
docker-local db:redis        # Open Redis CLI
docker-local db:fresh        # Run migrate:fresh --seed
```

### Environment
```bash
docker-local env:check       # Check .env for conflicts
docker-local config          # Show current configuration
```

## File Paths

| Path | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `~/projects/` | Default projects directory |
| `~/projects/.docker-local-links/` | Symlinks for Nginx routing |
| `~/.config/docker-local/` | Configuration directory |
| `~/.config/docker-local/config.json` | Main config file |
| `~/.config/docker-local/certs/` | SSL certificates |

## Required .env Settings

For Laravel projects to work with docker-local:

```bash
APP_URL=https://myproject.test

# Database (MySQL)
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=mysql
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=myproject
DB_USERNAME=laravel
DB_PASSWORD=secret

# Redis
REDIS_HOST=redis
REDIS_PORT=6379
REDIS_PASSWORD=null

# Cache/Session/Queue isolation (unique per project)
CACHE_PREFIX=myproject_
REDIS_CACHE_DB=0
REDIS_SESSION_DB=1
REDIS_QUEUE_DB=2

# Mail
MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=mailpit
MAIL_PORT=1025

# S3/MinIO (optional)
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=minio
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=minio123
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1
AWS_BUCKET=myproject
AWS_ENDPOINT=http://minio:9000
AWS_USE_PATH_STYLE_ENDPOINT=true
```

## Troubleshooting Quick Reference

| Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix |
|---------|--------------|-----|
| 404 error | Missing symlink | `docker-local link` |
| "Site can't be reached" | DNS not configured | Check `/etc/hosts` or dnsmasq |
| Certificate error | Certs not generated | `docker-local ssl:regenerate` |
| Certificate still failing | mkcert not trusted | `sudo mkcert -install` |
| Container unhealthy | Service crash | `docker-local restart` |
| DB connection refused | Wrong DB_HOST | Use `mysql` not `127.0.0.1` |

## Multi-Project Isolation

Each project needs unique values to avoid conflicts:

- **Database name** - Unique per project
- **Redis DBs** - 3 DBs per project (0-2, 3-5, 6-8, etc.)
- **Cache prefix** - Unique string per project
- **MinIO bucket** - Unique per project

Use `docker-local env:check --all` to detect conflicts across projects.
