Dockerfile and Compose generator for Laravel and Node

Most copied Dockerfiles run as root and reinstall vendors on every line change. This generator emits multi-stage images for Laravel (PHP-Apache), generic PHP and Node, plus an optional MySQL and Redis Compose stack — the same shape as the Docker tutorial on blog.webeface.de.

Toggle MySQL or Redis only when the app needs them. Review user IDs, healthchecks and the document root (Laravel uses /var/www/html/public).

Build with the real lockfile (composer.lock or package-lock.json) in CI before you trust the image.
