I have a Laravel 10 project which is based on laradock (cloned from https://github.com/Laradock/laradock). I’d like to connect the laravel application with an external LDAP server which does contain the users authorized to connect to my application.
I read a lot about docker’s external networks but I haven’t found the way to set them in laradock’s docker-compose.yml.
Can anyone give me a hint please ?

I used

docker-compose up -d --build apache2 phpmyadmin 

to create the containers listed below

Creating laradock_mariadb_1          ... done
Creating laradock_docker-in-docker_1 ... done
Creating laradock_workspace_1        ... done
Creating laradock_phpmyadmin_1       ... done
Creating laradock_php-fpm_1          ... done
Creating laradock_apache2_1          ... done

I tried to declare a “ldap” network at the beginning of the docker-compose.yml using the bridge driver

version : "3"
networks:
  frontend:
    driver: ${NETWORKS_DRIVER}
  backend:
    driver: ${NETWORKS_DRIVER}
  ldap:
    driver: ${NETWORKS_DRIVER}

and then call the network in the containers “workspace” and “php-fpm”

networks:
        - frontend
        - backend
        - ldap
