docker-symfony

This is a complete stack for running Symfony 4 (latest version: Flex) into Docker containers using docker-compose tool.

Note: Docker must be already installed in your machine :)

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   $ git clone git@github.com:hounaida/docker-for-symfony.git

2. Put your Symfony application into symfony folder and do not forget to add symfony.localhost in your /etc/hosts file.

   $ cd docker-for-symfony
   $ git clone git@bitbucket.org:clubouttn/social-web-app.git symfony

3. Make sure you adjust DATABASE_URL in symfony/.env file like the following:

   $ DATABASE_URL=mysql://root:symfony@db/symfony

4. Build all docker images

   $ docker-compose build

5. Run containers

   $ docker-compose up -d

6. Install project dependencies

   $ docker exec -it docker-for-symfony_php_1 /bin/sh
   $ composer install

7. Create database schema & populate sample data

   $ docker exec -it docker-for-symfony_php_1 /bin/sh
   $ php bin/console doctrine:schema:create
   $ bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load

You are done, you can visit your Symfony application on the following URL: http://symfony.localhost/.
You can also visit PhpMyAdmin via this URL: http://symfony.localhost:8080/

How it works?

Here are the docker-compose built images:

• db: This is the MySQL database container (can be changed to postgresql or whatever in docker-compose.yml file),
• php: This is the PHP-FPM container including the application volume mounted on,
• nginx: This is the Nginx webserver container in which php volumes are mounted too,
• phpmyadmin: This is the phpmyadmin container.

This results in the following running containers:

> $ docker-compose ps
        Name                       Command               State              Ports

Read logs

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

• logs/nginx
• logs/symfony
