Deploy to Azure Container Apps

Built your app with Laradock? Ship it to Azure Container Apps without changing your stack. ./laradock ship builds one self-contained image (nginx + php-fpm) that Container Apps runs on port 8080 with autoscaling.

1. Build and push to ACR

az acr create -g <RG> -n <REGISTRY> --sku Basic
./laradock ship <REGISTRY>.azurecr.io/laradock-app:latest --push

2. Create the app

Laradock ships a ready azure-container-app.yaml (ingress targetPort: 8080, secrets, scale rules). Fill in your image, then:

az containerapp create -g <RG> -n laradock-app \
  --environment <MANAGED_ENV> --yaml laradock/production/providers/azure-container-app.yaml

Notes

• Managed database. Use Azure Database for MySQL/PostgreSQL and Azure Cache for Redis.
• Secrets map to Container Apps secrets (or Key Vault), never bake them into the image.
• Scaling. Tune minReplicas / maxReplicas (KEDA-based) in the YAML.
