I'm working on a project that involves dockerizing a Laravel application. I'm using Docker Compose to manage several services: Laravel for the backend, Nginx for the web server, PostgreSQL for the database, and Node.js for the frontend. My goal is to get a new Laravel app set up using the Vue starter kit, all running together in their respective containers. I've tried creating the Laravel project directly within the app container, but I run into issues during the npm install phase, and my Node.js container keeps crashing with an error saying "php not found." What's the best way to properly configure and initialize this setup with multiple containers?

It sounds like you might have a misconfiguration with your Node.js container. Typically, you should have a separate container for PHP, your database, and a front-end container for Node.js. Just make sure your Node.js service waits for PHP to be fully up before it tries to launch. You could adjust the `depends_on` option in your Docker Compose file for this. For example, make sure your Node.js container is last in the order so it starts only after the others are running.
Also, remember that you need to define your services correctly in your Docker Compose file. Each container needs to know how to communicate with the others, especially the database. If the containers can’t find each other, that could easily cause them to crash. Check your network settings and ensure that the services are linked properly.
