---

📦 Requirements

Make sure you have the following installed:

• Docker
• Docker compose

---

🚀 Deployment in develop

Create .env file

cp .env.example.dev .env

Generate app key

Laravel requires a unique APP_KEY to secure encrypted data within the application, such as cookies, sessions, and other sensitive information. This key must be set in your .env file and should be a random 32-character string encoded in base64.

php -r "echo 'APP_KEY=base64:' . base64_encode(random_bytes(32)) . PHP_EOL;" >> .env

Run containers

docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.dev.yml up -d --build

This will build and start the Laravel, MySQL, Redis, and Mailhog containers.

You can see Evidentia app running on localhost:8000

📧 View test emails

Use Mailhog to inspect outgoing emails in development:

http://localhost:8025

🚀 Deployment in production

Create .env file

cp .env.example.prod .env

⚠️ Important: The .env file contains sensitive information such as database credentials, API keys, and encryption secrets. Do not leave default values in production—review and update every field accordingly.
