Laradock: Cant serve index.php - 404 not found

[charsi]

Info:

• Docker version ($ docker --version): 17.12.0-ce, build c97c6d6
• Laradock commit ($ git rev-parse HEAD): 0c41fceae1b23089f5360dc4f8aeb85719c7bf5a
• System info (Mac, PC, Linux): Linux
• System info disto/version: Linux Mint - 4.10.0-38-generic #42~16.04.1-Ubuntu

Issue:

404 not found error when going to http://localhost/ after following the getting started guide

---

Expected behavior:

Be able to see my index.html or index.php file that I created in the project folder

---

Reproduce:

• Follow getting started guide
• docker-compose up -d nginx mysql workspace
• create a index.html file in the project folder
  Try going to http://localhost/

---

Relevant Code:

I bashed into workspace and nginx and both containers can see the index.html file at /var/www/

I know this question is pretty basic. But if following the getting started guide doesn't get a user up and running maybe something needs to be changed.

EDIT: I moved a laravel app to the folder and it does work as expected! If somebody can explain what I am missing I'd greatly appreciate it.

nginx' webroot is configured to be /var/www/public, which maps to ../public, relative to laradock's root. A Laravel installation in the parent directory would have this directory, but your basic test fails. Had the same issue just recently ;-)
