Write a Docker configuration for a PHP application (Laravel, Compose) + React.JS

The project was not completed.

1) A separate configuration for the dev and production environments was not created; only 1 docker-compose.yml file was issued, which was provided as a "completed project," although on the server, this file did not work properly;

2) It was agreed that the developer would connect S3 themselves, using LocalStack, which was also not done;

3) Automatic deployment of the frontend (React..JS was not connected) in Docker was not implemented, meaning the command does not execute automatically, and this needs to be done manually;

4) The SSL certificate was also not connected, nginx and the ports in it were configured incorrectly for the production environment; in principle, there was no testing at all;

5) There were no attempts to enable Firebase, which was mentioned in the task; it does not work;

6) When accessing the application itself, there was a critical bug related to incorrect deployment via Docker; file permissions were not set, it seems that the application was not tested at all.

Regarding the communication itself, initially, everything was fine; responses were quick, but then, upon my requests, he started to argue a lot and prove his point; as a client, I am not very interested in that; I have requirements that need to be met, and the project will have to be redone quite a lot and for a long time.

The project was not completed because:

1) One config file was created to test if everything works. But for some reason, the client could not run it. I tested all this on three different OS and everything worked from scratch.

2) I asked for the S3 keys, but the client wrote to use LocalStack, which is also paid. Strange. But we didn't get to this point because the client seemed to have run (wrote to me) the project, but then did not run it. I still did not understand.

3) The frontend worked, everything was fine. And the client provided me with a confirmation video (so, did he actually run the project?)

4) The client said he was waiting for the SSL purchase. I suggested issuing a free certificate. In my config file, everything was done for this and the site worked on https (and for the client too, because he asked about the https port). But maybe he just didn't connect the certificates themselves.

5) At first, the client did not provide working keys, but after some difficulty, he did. Perhaps he was afraid that I would use them. But they could simply have been changed and that’s it.

6) This project was not written by me. The client just found it on GitHub. I could not fully test it because not all keys were available. I fixed some errors.

Also, the client needed a lot of instructions on how and what to do, but he did not follow them and executed the wrong commands in the console that I wrote to him. He simply ignored the correct commands.

Therefore, since I tested this project on three independent OS, PCs, and everything worked, it means that the client either did not know how to use the server (although he is a Python developer), or just wanted it this way.

In conclusion, I will say that 50% of the amount was received for the project. Although I performed more.

Now the client will use all this. Okay, let him use it.

The project itself is interesting.
