Symfony Docker Compose

Docker compose environment for Symfony (also works for Laravel or plain PHP) projects

Summary of what is included

• PHP 7.4.11 with XDEBUG 2.9.8
• Apache2
• MySQL 5.7
• PhpMyAdmin - manage MySQL
• Mailhog - local mailing server to test emails
• Installs composer and symfony commands
• Virtualhost configuration dedicated for Symfony projects
• Latest stable NPM
• Latest stable Node.js

How to install this in my project?

• Download .docker folder and docker-compose.yml file and add them to your project (Don't download .github folder)
• Run docker-compose up command from your terminal. (Install docker compose)

How to access everything?

By default you can access services via:

• Access your project website via - http://192.168.2.2/
• MySQL can be accessed via 192.168.2.3:3306
• PhpMyAdmin can be accessed via http://192.168.2.4/
• Mailhog can be accessed via http://192.168.2.5:8025/
• Access docker apache-php terminal by writing - docker exec -it project_web bash

Modifying .env file (If you are using Symfony)

If you use default IP addresses, append your .env file with the following:

• For database connection -DATABASE_URL=mysql://root:@192.168.2.3:3306/project
• For mailing server - MAILER_URL=mailhog:1025//[email protected]:randompassword (You don't need to change email or password)

MySQL

• If you haven't modified IP addresses, you can connect to your MySQL via 192.168.2.3:3306
• If you don't have any additional software, you can connect to database via phpmyadmin (http://192.168.2.4/)
• Nickname: root
• There is no password, leave blank for that
• Default table is called project

Notes and common issues

• You cannot use same configuration for multiple projects. Docker won't allow you to allocate same IP addresses for multiple containers.
• You would need to modify docker-compose.yml IP addresses. For example from 192.168.2.0/24 to 192.168.3.0/24
• If you can't compose a new project, you might need to delete your old docker networks. Type docker network ls and then remove your old project network by writing docker network rm NETWORK_ID (for example docker network rm 528d8c753c17)
• cannot start service XXX: network YYY not found. Open up container list with docker container ls -a and remove old containers with docker container rm ID.
• develop_init.sh Is not executable? Type - chmod +x ./.docker/develop_init.sh
