I've setup a docker image to work with the laravel 4.1 project and all its dependencies. Working with depracated code can be a nuisance, especially if you run a rolling release distro. You might break stuff in you local machine when downgrading things. Needless to say, it's frustrating. This is a short guide on how to set up and run a docker instance that has everything you need to work on any laravel 4.1 project.
I'll try as much as possible to dockerize things since upgrading the project in a safe way is one of the future goals of this project.
My goal for this was to have a working stable environment that can be replicated anywhere on any machine that has docker installed.
For the initial setup, I've cloned laradock to the repository and set up the initial .env.
