Answer 1

For Lumen

Let's think you have a folder path like: /var/www/project/microservice(lumen src)

/var/www => document root for localhost/

Target you want: localhost/project/microservice[/foo...] => localhost/project/microservice/public/foo...

I do this by .htaccess (placed at /project folder) like below:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*/public/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/[^/]+/[^/]+/).*
RewriteRule ^[^/]+(.*)$ %1public$1 [L,R=301,P]
