Inertia SSR with Laradock

[notAPanda]

Hey Everyone!

I wanted to use Inertia with Laradock.
I am unable to to make SSR to work.
It works perfectly with sail.

I am running caddy, mysql, redis, php-worker containers.

I have tried to run artisan inertia:start-ssr inside the workspace container but the SSR is not rendering any html.
I know that SSR works on 13714 port. Do i need to expose this port in one of the containers?

Please let me know if anyone knows what to do.
Cheers!

I have the same problem. In my case I can say php-worker has not installed node.

My config to run php artisan inertia:start-ssr with php-worker is:

[program:laravel-inertia-ssr]
process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
command=php /var/www/artisan inertia:start-ssr
autostart=true
autorestart=true
user=laradock
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/var/www/storage/logs/inertia-ssr.log

As you can see I set the log file in /var/www/storage/logs/inertia-ssr.log, and this is what I receive on that file:

sh: exec: line 0: node: not found
sh: exec: line 0: node: not found
sh: exec: line 0: node: not found

The laravel log file says this:

production.ERROR: sh: exec: line 0: node: not found
 {"exception":"[object] (Inertia\\Ssr\\SsrException(code: 0): sh: exec: line 0: node: not found

When I go inside of workspace docker-compose exec --user=laradock workspace bash and run the command manually works fine, but this is because workspace has node installed.

Somebody has modified php-worker Dockerfile to have node on this container?

I'm testing the following change in /php-worker/Dockerfile

In line 22 change from this:

RUN apk --update add wget \
  curl \
  git \
  build-base \
  libmcrypt-dev \
  libxml2-dev \
  linux-headers \
  pcre-dev \
  zlib-dev \
  autoconf \
  cyrus-sasl-dev \
  libgsasl-dev \
  oniguruma-dev \
  supervisor; \
  if [ $(php -r "echo PHP_VERSION_ID - PHP_RELEASE_VERSION;") = "50600" ] || \
     [ $(php -r "echo PHP_VERSION_ID - PHP_RELEASE_VERSION;") = "70000" ]; then \
    apk --update add libressl libressl-dev; \
  else \
    apk --update add openssl-dev; \
  fi

to this

RUN apk --update add wget \
  curl \
  git \
  npm \
  build-base \
  libmcrypt-dev \
  libxml2-dev \
  linux-headers \
  pcre-dev \
  zlib-dev \
  autoconf \
  cyrus-sasl-dev \
  libgsasl-dev \
  oniguruma-dev \
  supervisor; \
  if [ $(php -r "echo PHP_VERSION_ID - PHP_RELEASE_VERSION;") = "50600" ] || \
     [ $(php -r "echo PHP_VERSION_ID - PHP_RELEASE_VERSION;") = "70000" ]; then \
    apk --update add libressl libressl-dev; \
  else \
    apk --update add openssl-dev; \
  fi

Added npm to the list. So far is working but is not well tested

Do I need to port forward the 13714 port? I have a php worker pod that runs php artisan inertia:start-ssr but no idea how to access the URL

[sonbarros]

you need to create config/inertia.php and point the address that is working in docker

[reinink]

Also, keep in mind that the SSR server isn't going to be public facing — as in you're unlikely going to be able to access it at a browser, but rather you're PHP service will connect locally to this HTTP service:

https://github.com/inertiajs/inertia-laravel/blob/master/src/Ssr/HttpGateway.php#L19

If you run php artisan inertia:start-ssr you should be able to http://localhost:13714/render to load locally (although it will generate an error in the SSR server because a JSON payload isn't provided).

[sonbarros]

Thank you reinink. I'm getting good results with inertiajs. gratitude

I keep a strict separation of processes and node runs in a different container. Not where PHP is. Can I somehow set it to use a different host?

[SanderSander]

I had the same issue and had to change the config/inertia/php configuration.

return [
    'ssr' => [
        'enabled' => true,
        'url' => env('SSR_URL', 'http://127.0.0.1:13714'),
        // 'bundle' => base_path('bootstrap/ssr/ssr.js'),
    ],
    
    ```
