'no such service: laravel.test

I'm a Dockers / Sail beginner and wanted to give it a try with a new Laravel project.

So, when I execute a Laravel fresh install, and i run sail up i get this error:

no such service: laravel.test

However, http://localhost returns the expected result.

But http://laravel.test doesn't return anything.

Just updated PHP, Laravel and Dockers - so they are running on the latest versions.

Do you know how can I fix this?

EDIT: Added the whole docker-compose.yml file

version: '3'

    laravel.test:

the name

The name laravel.test for this service is poorly chosen. All the other services give a more proper clue as to what service is running in the container. In the case of laravel.test, there runs a php built-in web server, which is kept running by a supervisor. A better name would be php_webserver for example.

not being able to access laravel.test

Domains are bought (although it's more like renting) from a domain registrar. However the tld .test is reserved for testing and can't be bought. The most common way to create a fake domain for testing is by modifying your hosts file.

  • Windows: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
  • Mac: /etc/hosts
  • Linux: /etc/hosts

This file requires admin access, so you need to start your text editor as admin to make changes. Here you can make a newline entry with the content

127.0.0.1 laravel.test

This will make your OS check for localhost when trying to access laravel.test.

You can of course keep using 127.0.0.1 to check your site like always.

You should first add it to your project:

composer require laravel/sail --dev

after that, instal sail:

php artisan sail:install

then:

./vendor/bin/sail up // or sail up

I have fixed this issue by adding

172.19.0.1      laravel.test

in host file on my pc. i am using liunx mint

sudo nano /etc/hosts

Solution 4:[4]

It's probably because of laravel.test domain not registered in your system so if you use Linux use @Saravana Sai's answer

but if you use windows the host file exists in

C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

note: you need administrative privileges to edit this file
