Hi, I’m having trouble deploying my Laravel docker backend to Render.
I’ve followed the suggested guide for Render: “Deploy a PHP Web App with Laravel and Docker”
I’ve followed the steps in other community posts that have the same issue:
But I can’t get my backend working, as I have the following errors.
According to the documentation, I have to create a Docker file, Nginx configuration, Docker ignore, and a deployment script. I copied the contents of all those files from the links I attached, but it doesn’t work.
I also checked out the example repository.
I did the same thing, but copied the contents from the most recent commit, as the tutorial provided by Render seems outdated.
Can someone help me, please?
