## What it is
A Docker Compose-based template repository for spinning up a Laravel development environment with PHP-FPM, nginx, and MySQL. It provides Make/Task commands to scaffold new Laravel projects or run existing ones across Windows (WSL2), macOS, and Linux.

## Use cases
- set up a laravel development environment with docker compose
- scaffold a new laravel project with nginx and mysql
- run an existing laravel app locally in docker
- get a LEMP stack for PHP development
- dockerize a laravel app on WSL2 or Apple Silicon

## When to choose
- starting a new Laravel project that should be Dockerized from day one
- you want a simple, well-tested PHP + nginx + MySQL Compose setup
- you need a consistent dev environment across Windows, macOS, and Linux

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade or highly customized container setup
- your stack is not Laravel/PHP
- you prefer Laravel Sail or another first-party tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
- maturity: active
- function: deployment, developer-tools, container-orchestration
- domain: web-development, backend, self-hosted
- platform: windows, cross-platform
- tags: laravel, docker-compose, php, nginx, mysql, lemp-stack, development-environment, template-repository, devops, docker, linux, macos
