Dockerized Symfony 4 and PHP Development Stack

This stack is a complete tools to develop a web based application. It support Symfony Framework by default. And you can use it for other PHP Projects too.

This stack contains

• Nginx | A powerful web server, latest nginx will be installed by default
• MariaDB | One of the most popular database engine, by default it will deploy MariaDB 11
• PostgreSQL | Powerfull database engine (version 11.2)
• PHP-FPM | Complete PHP7.2 stack (include xdebug, apc, memcached, redis)
• Memcached | Memory based cache (latest)
• Redis | Powerful backend cache (latest)
• Elasticsearch | Search engine library
• Logstash | Data collection engine
• Kibana | Data visualization (used for log data with elasticsearch and logstash)
• RabbitMQ | Message broker software
• Adminer | Simply yet powerful database administration tool (latest)

Requirements

• Docker Engine
• Docker Compose
• Docker Machine (Mac and Windows only)

Installation

Fresh Install Symfony

First, clone this repository:

$ git clone git@gitlab.com:dadangnh/docker-symfony.git

Then, you must put your symfony project to apps/symfony directory. Or you can create new project by running:

$ composer create-project symfony/website-skeleton apps/symfony

And create your docker environment by editing .env.dist and save as .env

Then, run:

$ docker-compose up

Your current project (not fresh install)

Copy or pull your project to apps/symfony directory:

$ git clone git@yourgit:youruser:yourproject.git apps/symfony

or

$ cp -Rf /path/to/yourproject apps/symfony

Then, run:

$ docker-compose up

Note if you install symfony by pulling from git or copy the script to apps directory manually, sometimes you need to install the composer dependency and cache warmup:

$ docker exec -it docker-symfony_php_1 composer install
$ docker exec -it docker-symfony_php_1 php bin/console cache:warmup

Configure the database and environment:

• DB Backend: use mariadb or postgres as the hostname
• Cache Backend: use memcached or redis as the hostname You need to specify the environmenr variable at .env

and create migrations:

$ docker exec -it docker-symfony_php_1 php bin/console make:migrations
$ docker exec -it docker-symfony_php_1 php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate
$ docker exec -it docker-symfony_php_1 php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load

---

And finally, edit your hosts file to match the docker:

$ sudo echo "127.0.0.1 project.ddg" > /etc/hosts

You are done, Open your browser and here is the default link:

• Your Symfony Application http://project.ddg
• Kibana http://project.ddg:81
• Adminer http://project.ddg:8080
• RabbitMQ http://project.ddg:15672

Note : you can rebuild all Docker images by running:

$ docker-compose build

If you got error permissions denied on log directory (Unable to write in the logs directory (/var/www/symfony/var/log)), you can fix by run this:

$ docker exec -it docker-symfony_php_1 chmod 777 /var/www/symfony/var/log

you need to change the docker-symfony_php_1 to be your php docker name, run this to check:

$ docker ps

normally it will look like this:

$ docker ps

Read logs

You can access Nginx and Symfony application logs in the following directories on your host machine:

• logs/nginx
• logs/symfony

or by using Kibana at http://project.ddg:81

Xdebug for development

To use xdebug change the line "docker-host.localhost:127.0.0.1" in docker-compose.yml and replace 127.0.0.1 with your machine ip addres. If your IDE default port is not set to 5902 you should do that, too.
