Quickstart

Use your existing Symfony project

Copy the contents of this repo into your symfony application folder and make sure not to overwrite the file .gitignore but to append it's content.

Start the environment

docker-compose up -d

And execute your project's installation routine as user docksy in the php container, e.g.

docker-compose exec -u docksy php composer install
docker-compose exec -u docksy php npm install
...

Create a new Symfony project

Start the environment

docker-compose up -d

and run

docker-compose exec -u docksy php composer create-project symfony/skeleton tmp
# or
docker-compose exec -u docksy php composer create-project symfony/website-skeleton tmp

and then

mv tmp/* ./ && mv tmp/.env ./ && cat tmp/.gitignore >> .gitignore && rm -rf tmp

Run

Go to http://localhost:8000 and you should see your project's landing page.

You might want to define an alias on your host machine for executing commands inside the php container, e.g.

alias d='docker-compose exec -u docksy php'

After pulling new commits of this repo you may want to re-build the containers:

docker-compose up -d --build

XDebug on Linux

XDebug is configured to run out of the box, however the environment variable XDEBUG_CLIENT_HOST is set to host.docker.internal as this is set automatically on MacOS and Windows. If your host system is running Linux, consider setting it to 172.17.0.1. If this doesn't work, run

/sbin/ip route|awk '/default/ { print $3 }'

from inside the php container to get the proper ip address.
