Symfony Docker Development Stack

This is a stack based on lightweight Linux Distributions for running the latest version of Symfony Framework into Docker containers using docker-compose

It was designed to be used with Symfony, but it can be used with any other PHP Framework

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Containers

• nginx (proxy)
• php-fpm
• php-cli (composer)
• nginx (server)
• mysql (database)
• phpmyadmin (GUI for mysql)

Steps to Use

1. Move to the .docker directory, where the docker-compose.yml file is located
2. Create the .env file, copying it from .env.example
3. Replace the default environment variables values on .env file
4. Replace ${PROJECT_NAME} for the real value of the project name on nginx/vhost.conf
5. Add entries to /etc/hosts (host machine) file for the locals domains specified in VIRTUAL_HOST variables inside docker-compose.yml
   • 127.0.0.1 admin.${PROJECT_NAME}.local phpmyadmin.${PROJECT_NAME}.local (replace ${PROJECT_NAME} with the real value)
6. Run docker-compose up -d

Install Symfony Framework

1. Move to the .docker directory, where the docker-compose.yml file is located
2. Run once $ docker-compose run --rm php-cli composer create-project symfony/website-skeleton symfony
3. Go to the parent directory of .docker
4. Run once $ mv symfony/{.[!.],}* . ; rm -rf symfony
5. You can visit:

• http://admin.${PROJECT_NAME}.local
• http://phpmyadmin.${PROJECT_NAME}.local

Additional

If you wanna to install other dependencies with composer, run the following

1. Move to the .docker directory, where the docker-compose.yml file is located
2. Install any needed dependencies, example Sonata Admin Bundle

• docker-compose run --rm php-cli composer require sonata-project/admin-bundle
• docker-compose run --rm php-cli composer require sonata-project/doctrine-orm-admin-bundle
