500 (Internal Server Error) with Laravel & Docker

Question

I create Laravel PHP application in Docker. First I setup Laravel app using

laravel new laravelDockerApp

it creates successfully.I verify it's setup by built-in server

php artisan serve

Then setup Local environment with Docker

docker-compose.yml

version: '2'

services:
  web:
    build:
      context: ./
      dockerfile: web.docker
    volumes:
      - ./:/var/www
    ports:
      - "8080:80"
    links:
      - app
  app:
    build:
      context: ./
      dockerfile: app.docker
    volumes:
      - ./:/var/www

app.docker

FROM php:7-fpm

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libmcrypt-dev mysql-client \
    && docker-php-ext-install mcrypt pdo_mysql

WORKDIR /var/www

web.docker

FROM nginx:1.10

ADD ./vhost.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
WORKDIR /var/www

vhost.conf

server {
    listen 80;
    index index.php index.html;
    root /var/www/public;

    location / {
        try_files $uri /index.php?$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass app:9000;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
    }
}

I run docker-compose up -d command. app & web containers up successfully.When I check app in Browser using

localhost:8080

I got

500(Internal Server Error)

Please, can you help to solve this? Thanks.

Solution

I found a solution. I set the permission on my Laravel app using:

sudo chmod -R 777 storage && sudo chmod -R 777 bootstrap/cache

While this actually works, please see my comment for a different approach: stackoverflow.com/a/66189065/1038490 in case setting 777 on all these files doesn't sound very appealing.
