If You want to build a reverse proxy website with Symfony "webapp" at short time;

Full stack Proxy Nginx Symfony "webapp":

Symfony     docker     mariadb     nginx     apache2     php     redis     Bash     phpmyadmin     letsencrypt     portainer

Plus, manage docker containers with Portainer.

With this project you can quickly run the following:

For certbot (letsencrypt) certificate:

IPv4/IPv6 Firewall

Create rules to open ports to the internet, or to a specific IPv4 address or range.

  • http: 80
  • https: 443
  • portainer: 9001
  • phpmyadmin: 9090

Contents:

Automatic

Exec install shell script for auto installation and configuration

download with

git clone https://github.com/damalis/full-stack-proxy-nginx-symfony-for-everyone-with-docker-compose.git

Open a terminal and cd to the folder in which docker-compose.yml is saved and run:

cd full-stack-proxy-nginx-symfony-for-everyone-with-docker-compose
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

Requirements

Make sure you have the latest versions of Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine.

Clone this repository or copy the files from this repository into a new folder. In the docker-compose.yml file you may change the database from MariaDB to MySQL.

Make sure to add your user to the docker group.

Manual

Configuration

download with

git clone https://github.com/damalis/full-stack-proxy-nginx-symfony-for-everyone-with-docker-compose.git

Open a terminal and cd to the folder in which docker-compose.yml is saved and run:

cd full-stack-proxy-nginx-symfony-for-everyone-with-docker-compose

Copy the example environment into .env

cp env.example .env

Edit the .env file to change values of LOCAL_TIMEZONE, DOMAIN_NAME, DIRECTORY_PATH, LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME, MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD, PMA_CONTROLUSER, PMA_CONTROLPASS, PMA_HTPASSWD_USERNAME and PMA_HTPASSWD_PASSWORD.

LOCAL_TIMEZONE=to see local timezones

DIRECTORY_PATH=pwd at command line

and

cp ./phpmyadmin/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.sample.conf ./phpmyadmin/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf

change example.com to your domain name in ./phpmyadmin/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf file.

Installation

Firstly: will create external volume

docker volume create --driver local --opt type=none --opt device=${DIRECTORY_PATH}/certbot --opt o=bind certbot-etc
docker-compose up -d

then reloading for proxy ssl configuration

docker container restart proxy

The containers are now built and running. You should be able to access the Symfony installation with the configured IP in the browser address. https://example.com.

For convenience you may add a new entry into your hosts file.

Portainer

docker volume create portainer_data
docker-compose -f portainer-docker-compose.yml -p portainer up -d 

manage docker with Portainer is the definitive container management tool for Docker, Docker Swarm with it's highly intuitive GUI and API.

You can also visit https://example.com:9001 to access portainer after starting the containers.

Usage

You could manage docker containers without command line with portainer.

Show both running and stopped containers

The docker ps command only shows running containers by default. To see all containers, use the -a (or --all) flag:

docker ps -a

Starting containers

You can start the containers with the up command in daemon mode (by adding -d as an argument) or by using the start command:

docker-compose start

Stopping containers

docker-compose stop

Removing containers

To stop and remove all the containers use the down command:

docker-compose down

to remove portainer and the other containers

docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q)

Use -v if you need to remove the database volume which is used to persist the database:

docker-compose down -v

to remove external certbot-etc and portainer and the other volumes

docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q)

Project from existing source

Copy all files into a new directory:

You can now use the up command:

docker-compose up -d

Docker run reference

https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/

Website

You should see the "Welcome to Symfony..." page in your browser. If not, please check if your PHP installation satisfies Symfony's requirements.

https://example.com

add or remove code in the ./php-fpm/php/conf.d/security.ini file for custom php.ini configurations

https://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.php

You should make changes custom host configurations ./php-fpm/php-fpm.d/z-www.conf then must restart service, FPM uses php.ini syntax for its configuration file - php-fpm.conf, and pool configuration files.

https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.configuration.php

docker container restart symfony

add and/or remove symfony site folders and files with any ftp client program in ./symfony/webapp folder.
You can also visit https://example.com to access website after starting the containers.

Want to see it with a 200 response?

Open the file ./symfony/webapp/config/routes.yaml in your Symfony project, and uncomment all 3 lines so it looks as follows:

index:
    path: /
    controller: App\Controller\DefaultController::index

Then, in the project folder ./symfony/webapp/src/Controller, create the file DefaultController.php. Set the full contents of the file to be:

<?php

namespace App\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;

class DefaultController extends AbstractController
{
    public function index(Request $request): Response
    {
        return new Response("<html><body><br/><br/><center><p style=\"font-size:55px\">Hello World!</p></center></body></html>");
    }
}

Save it, and refresh your project page.

to display Symfony Web Debug Toolbar

must add the below code in the ./symfony/webapp/config/packages/framework.yaml file.

framework:
    # ...
    # trust *all* requests (the 'REMOTE_ADDR' string is replaced at
    # run time by $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])
    trusted_proxies: 'symfony,REMOTE_ADDR'

Proxy

Proxying is typically used to distribute the load among several servers, seamlessly show content from different websites, or pass requests for processing to application servers over protocols other than HTTP.

add or remove code in the ./proxy/templates/proxy.conf.template file for custom proxy configurations

https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/web-server/reverse-proxy/

Webserver

add or remove code in the ./webserver/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf file for custom apache2/httpd configurations

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/

Redis

Redis Cache; This article explains how to configure the Redis adapter when using the Cache as an independent component in any PHP application..

Available options are:

$config['socket'] = '/var/run/redis.sock';
$config['host'] = 'redis';
$config['password'] = NULL;
$config['port'] = 6379;
$config['timeout'] = 0;

phpMyAdmin

You can add your own custom config.inc.php settings (such as Configuration Storage setup) by creating a file named config.user.inc.php with the various user defined settings in it, and then linking it into the container using:

./phpmyadmin/config.user.inc.php

You can also visit https://example.com:9090 to access phpMyAdmin after starting the containers.

The first authorize screen(htpasswd;username or password) and phpmyadmin login screen the username and the password is the same as supplied in the .env file.

backup

This will back up the all files and folders, once per day, and write it to ./backups with a filename like backup-2022-02-07T16-51-56.tar.gz

example for crontab file on the host machine

# old docker backup folder remove
50 23 * * * find ${DIRECTORY_PATH}/backups/backup* -type f -mtime +1 | xargs rm
# backup exclude symfony, backups folders in ${DIRECTORY_PATH}
00 01 * * * tar -czvf ${DIRECTORY_PATH}/backups/'backup-example.com-'$(date +"\%Y-\%m-\%dT\%H-\%M-\%S")'.tar.gz' --exclude='backups' ${DIRECTORY_PATH}
