My setup is quite similar to the laravel setup I did with docker in this post. The idea is to bundle your application inside a docker image, then use the image in other docker services to build something bigger.
I created this script to run the necessary steps to start the application.
It takes care of the permission issies and then uses supervisord to start the application.
At this stage, the source code of the application is assumed to be in the /var/www/html/ container image.
The supervisord configuration file is below:
[supervisord] nodaemon=true user=root logfile=/var/log/supervisor/supervisord.log pidfile=/var/run/supervisord.pid [program:php] command=/usr/bin/php -d variables_order=EGPCS /var/www/html/artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=80 user=sail environment=LARAVEL_SAIL="1" stdout_logfile=/dev/stdout stdout_logfile_maxbytes=0 stderr_logfile=/dev/stderr stderr_logfile_maxbytes=0
Here is the Dockerfile I used to build the image. You can see that there is no instruction to copy the source code inside the container image.
But at the end of the file, there is an ENTRYTPOINT instruction asking the container to run the script we created above.

Here is my docker-compose stack. It is intended to pack everything together. The Laravel application is build from the Dockerfile we created previously.
