Deploy to Heroku

Built your app with Laradock? Ship it to Heroku (container stack) without changing your stack. The self-contained image (nginx + php-fpm) listens on the $PORT Heroku assigns.

1. Add the config

Copy the ready heroku.yml to your project root. It builds the web process from laradock/production/Dockerfile.

2. Deploy

heroku create && heroku stack:set container
heroku config:set APP_ENV=production DB_HOST=… DB_PASSWORD=…
git push heroku main

Notes

• Managed database. Add Heroku Postgres and Heroku Data for Redis.
• Config vars are injected as env, never bake secrets into the image.
• Worker. Uncomment the worker process in heroku.yml, then heroku ps:scale worker=1.
