Question

I am trying to setup xdebug using laravel sail with latest version, on my Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS desktop,

ie
php 8.1
laravel 9

with below mentioned details to .env file

SAIL_XDEBUG_MODE=develop,debug
SAIL_XDEBUG_CONFIG="client_host=172.23.0.1"

but when i run sail debug migrate, returns

Xdebug: [Step Debug] Time-out connecting to debugging client, waited: 200 ms. Tried: 172.23.0.1:9003 (through xdebug.client_host/xdebug.client_port)

When I tried finding IP, it change every time
docker inspect -f {{range.NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.Gateway}}{{end}} <container-name> return different IP like 172.25.0.1

I've been searching on this till I read about it being a firewall port issue here.

Then I remember the services.[laravel.test].ports on docker-compose.yml and tried to add 9003:9003 ports.

Try adding the XDebug ports:

services:
    laravel.test:
        build:
            context: ...
            dockerfile: Dockerfile
            args:
                WWWGROUP: '${WWWGROUP}'
        image: ...
        extra_hosts:
            - 'host.docker.internal:host-gateway'
        ports:
            - '${APP_PORT:-80}:80'
            - '${VITE_PORT:-5173}:${VITE_PORT:-5173}'
            - '9003:9003'
        ...
