Refactor Docker setup for Laravel 5.0 compatibility and optimize deployment process

- Updated Dockerfile configurations for various environments (alpine, basic, cloudrun, minimal, simple, test) to ensure compatibility with Laravel 5.0 and PHP 5.6.
- Added PHP compatibility documentation outlining mcrypt requirements and upgrade paths.
- Created cloudbuild.yaml for Google Cloud Build integration to streamline deployment to Cloud Run.
- Introduced docker-compose.local.yml for local development with MySQL and Redis services.
- Enhanced rebuild.sh script for easier local development and migration handling.
- Updated Laravel Blade views to correct asset paths.
- Added start-local.sh script for quick local setup and service management.

+# Laravel 5.0 and PHP Compatibility Guide
+
+## Issue: mcrypt Extension Required
+
+Laravel 5.0 requires the `mcrypt` PHP extension, which was:
+
+- **Deprecated** in PHP 7.1
+- **Removed** in PHP 7.2+
+
+## Solutions
+
+### Option 1: Use PHP 5.6 (Current Implementation)
+
+The `Dockerfile.minimal` has been updated to use PHP 5.6 which is the ideal match for Laravel 5.0.
+
+**Pros:**
+
+- Perfect compatibility with Laravel 5.0
+- Native mcrypt support
+- All packages available and tested
+- Matches original development environment
+
+**Cons:**
+
+- PHP 5.6 reached end-of-life in December 2018
+- Security concerns for long-term production use
+
+### Option 2: Upgrade Laravel (Recommended for Production)
+Upgrade to Laravel 5.5+ which doesn't require mcrypt.
+
+```bash
+# Update composer.json
+"laravel/framework": "5.8.*"
+
+# Remove mcrypt dependencies and update encryption
+php artisan key:generate
+```
+
+### Option 3: Use OpenSSL Instead (Laravel 5.2+)
+If upgrading Laravel, update encryption configuration:
+
+```php
+// config/app.php
+'cipher' => 'AES-256-CBC',
+```
+
+## Current Docker Configuration
+
+The Dockerfile now uses:
+
+- **Base Image**: `php:5.6-apache`
+- **mcrypt Extension**: Native support (no installation issues)
+- **Other Extensions**: All Laravel 5.0 requirements met
+- **Package Compatibility**: Perfect match for PHP 5.6
+
+## Production Recommendations
+
+For a production deployment, consider:
+
+1. **Upgrade Laravel** to 5.8 or later (LTS)
+2. **Use PHP 7.4+** for better performance and security
+3. **Replace mcrypt** with OpenSSL encryption
+
+## Quick Upgrade Path (Optional)
+
+If you want to modernize the application:
+
+### Step 1: Update composer.json
+```json
+{
+    "require": {
+        "laravel/framework": "5.8.*"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 2: Update Dockerfile to use PHP 7.4
+```dockerfile
+FROM php:7.4-apache
+# Remove mcrypt installation
+```
+
+### Step 3: Update configuration
+```bash
+php artisan key:generate
+php artisan config:cache
+```
+
+## Security Note
+
+Since PHP 7.1 is end-of-life, monitor for security updates and consider upgrading the Laravel version for long-term production use.
+
+## Testing the Current Setup
+
+The current configuration should work with:
+```bash
+./start-local.sh
+```
+
+This will use PHP 7.1 with mcrypt support for Laravel 5.0 compatibility.
