Docker-symfony gives you everything you need for developing Symfony application. This complete stack run with docker and docker-compose (1.7 or higher).

1. In the docker-compose file, indicate where's your Symfony project

   services: php: volumes: - path/to/your/symfony-project:/var/www/symfony

2. Build/run containers with (with and without detached mode)

   $ docker-compose build $ docker-compose up $ docker-compose up -d

3. Update your system host file (add symfony.dev)

   # get containers IP address and update host (replace IP according to your configuration) $ docker inspect --format '{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}' $(docker ps -f name=nginx -q) # unix only (on Windows, edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) $ sudo echo "171.17.0.1 symfony.dev" >> /etc/hosts

   Note: If it's empty, run docker inspect $(docker ps -f name=nginx -q) | grep IPAddress instead.

4. Prepare Symfony app

   1. Retrieve DB&Redis IP

      $ docker inspect --format '{{ .NetworkSettings.Networks.dockersymfony_default.IPAddress }}' $(docker ps -f name=db -q) $ docker inspect --format '{{ .NetworkSettings.Networks.dockersymfony_default.IPAddress }}' $(docker ps -f name=redis -q)

      Note: If it's empty, run docker inspect $(docker ps -f name=db -q) | grep IPAddress instead.

   2. Update app/config/parameters.yml

      # path/to/your/symfony-project/app/config/parameters.yml parameters: database_host: mysqldb database_password: root #... redis_host: redis

   3. Composer install & create database

      $ docker-compose exec php bash $ composer install # Symfony2 $ sf doctrine:database:create $ sf doctrine:schema:update --force $ sf doctrine:fixtures:load --no-interaction # Symfony3 $ sf3 doctrine:database:create $ sf3 doctrine:schema:update --force $ sf3 doctrine:fixtures:load --no-interaction

Just run docker-compose -d, then:

• Symfony app: visit symfony.dev
• Symfony app through Varnish: visit symfony.dev:81
• Symfony dev mode: visit symfony.dev/app_dev.php
• Logs (Kibana): symfony.dev:8081
• Logs (files location): logs/nginx and logs/symfony
• PHPMyAdmin : symfony.dev:8080

If you want to use this docker configuration to run multiple Symfony applications - ex : project{1,2,3} - follow those steps :

• add the needed hosts to your local /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost project1.sf project2.sf project3.sf

• mount the volumes into docker-compose.yml

php: build: php7-fpm ports: - 9000:9000 links: - db:mysqldb - redis volumes: - ../project1:/var/www/symfony_project1 - ../project2:/var/www/symfony_project2 - ../project3:/var/www/symfony_project3 - ./logs/symfony:/var/www/symfony/app/logs nginx: (...)

No need to modify nginx/symfony.conf as a wildcard is set to map automaticaly a subdomain with this pattern, example : project1.sf or project3.sf.

run docker-compose -d (alias dkup)

For OPcache & PHP FPM you can read the Symfony documentation for NGINX, more details here : OPcache Symfony symlinks issue for a Capifony deployment.

Then you can configure the VCL to fetch the right backend for each project eg. project2.sf:81 or project3.sf:81.

To add CouchDB to this stack, add to docker-compose.yml :

couchdb: image: couchdb ports: - 8082:5984

To verify the exposed port :

docker inspect dockersymfony_couchdb_1

result :

"PortBindings": { "5984/tcp": [ { "HostIp": "", "HostPort": "8082" } ] },

Urls for CouchDB : http://localhost:8082/, http://localhost:8082/_utils/ & http://localhost:8082/_utils/fauxton/.

You can use Kinematic UI for Docker.

Into ~/.bash_profile :

alias dk='docker-compose build && docker-compose up -d' alias dkup='docker-compose up -d' alias dkbuild='docker-compose build' alias dks='docker ps' alias dkrm='docker stop $(docker ps -a -q) && docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)'

Have a look at the docker-compose.yml file, here are the docker-compose built images:

• db: This is the MySQL database container,
• php: This is the PHP-FPM container in which the application volume is mounted (OPcache & optimized for Docker usage),
• nginx: This is the Nginx webserver container in which application volume is mounted too,
• elk: This is a ELK stack container which uses Logstash to collect logs, send them into Elasticsearch and visualize them with Kibana,
• redis: This is a redis database container.
• varnish: This is a varnish container (from the New York Times Newsroom Developers).

This results in the following running containers:

If you need to display the latest Git commits into the Symfony debug bar and link them to your code repository you can use this bundle.

• Got this error: ERROR: Couldn't connect to Docker daemon at http+docker://localunixsocket - is it running? If it's at a non-standard location, specify the URL with the DOCKER_HOST environment variable. ?
  Run docker-compose up -d instead.
