Laravel running inside docker successfully but unable to see anything in the browser? - laravel

Question

Have been following this tutorial making a few changes when needed: https://medium.com/#pierangelo1982/dockerize-an-existing-laravel-application-with-docker-compose-a45eb7956cbd
After running docker-composer build and docker-composer up all the migrations run successfully and I get a message saying the app is running on http://0.0.0.0:8000 Hover that url or the one specified in the tutorial show nothing.
Here is my docker file
FROM php:7
RUN apt-get update -y && apt-get install -y openssl zip unzip git
RUN curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
RUN docker-php-ext-install pdo pdo_mysql
WORKDIR /app
COPY . /app
RUN composer install
CMD php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8181
EXPOSE 8181
my docker-compose.yaml file

- '8009:8000'
volumes:

env_file: .env

Not really sure what is happening at this point since it seems everything is running fine but then I see nothing on the specified port.

Helloy, I think you should check your port forwarding config. Inside container you start web server with command
CMD php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8181
And then I don't see where in you docker-compose.yaml you forwarded this inner port 8181 to external machine host port 8000
