Develop and Deploy Laravel applications with Docker Compose — Create a Docker Compose configuration for production
To bring all the services together, create a compose.prod.yaml file that defines the services, volumes, and networks for the production environment.

To bring all the services together, create a compose.prod.yaml file that defines the services, volumes, and networks for the production environment. Here's an example configuration
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```yaml
services:
web:
build:
context: .
dockerfile: ./docker/production/nginx/Dockerfile
restart: unless-stopped # Automatically restart unless the service is explicitly stopped
volumes:
# Mount the 'laravel-storage' volume to '/var/www/storage' inside the container.
# -----------------------------------------------------------
# This volume stores persistent data like uploaded files and cache.
# The ':ro' option mounts it as read-only in the 'web' service because Nginx only needs to read these files.
# The 'php-fpm' service mounts the same volume without ':ro' to allow write operations.
# -----------------------------------------------------------
- laravel-storage-production:/var/www/storage:ro
networks:
- laravel-production
ports:
# Map port 80 inside the container to the port specified by 'NGINX_PORT' on
```
> [!NOTE] > Ensure you have an .env file at the root of your Laravel project with the necessary configurations to match the Docker Compose setup.
