Laravel Reset Password Email With Extra Data
I needed to send password reset emails from Laravel with additional data so that depending on how the password reset is triggered the email content varies.
Multiple Authentication in Laravel
You may not need this, if you can manage multiple types of user via roles and permissions it will be much the simpler route to follow.
In my case I wanted user with different: properties, relationships, routes, password rules, timeouts, and more.
It was worth the pain of setting up two authenticatable models.
Laravel is very flexible and well documented, but the further you stray from what most people do - the less obvious it is and a few of these steps took me a while to figure out.

I am working on an application that needs to be able to login to a Laravel instance via API.
In my usual workflow all the session management and XSRF protection has been automagical but I needed to be able to build a test case - and all the docs seemed to assume it would “Just Work™”

I’m a long time Linux user, and a big fan of Docker, Kubernetes, VMs, and containers.
While I love developing on Linux - I do sometimes find it frustrating that I don’t have the same level of access to the Microsoft suite on Linux.
A while ago I had to use a Windows laptop for a few days and tried out using WSL - so most of the time I’m in Linux - I didn’t entirely hate it so when it was time for an upgrade I decided to try the Windows route this time.
I’ve had my new machine for a little over a week now.

InertiaJs does a great job of helping me build React apps on Laravel. The form help does a great job - especially with displaying validation messages.
But I couldn’t figure out how to change data and save the form in one action.
Laravel Validation using DatabaseRule
The Laravel database validation rules are more powerful and flexible than I realised at first.
Looking at the Available Validation Rules we can see that Exists and Unique both have the suffix (Database)
This is because the both implement the DatabaseRule trait which offers more power than might be expected.
Docker, Firewalls, and Minikube
I’ve had a few problems with docker and firewalls and seem to get a “good enough” solution only to run into trouble again later having forgotten what I’ve done so far.
This is an attempt to make some notes and at least capture where I am up to.
TLDR
- Disable dockers Iptables
- Add some firewalld rules
- Watch out if the Docker interface changes

Nvm Default Packages
This is one of those things I wont need again for a while and will forget.
