This complete stack run with docker and docker-compose (1.7 or higher).

1. Create a .env from the .env.dist file. Adapt it according to your needs.

   cp .env.dist .env

   Customisable vars :

   • COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME: Your project name, the containers will be prefixed by this name. Snake case is advised.
   • SGBD_TYPE: SGBD type, mysql or mariadb, see the Docker Hub for available versions : MySQL, MariaDB.
   • MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: Your MySQL root password.
   • MYSQL_ADM_PASSWORD: Your MySQL structs admin password.
   • MYSQL_USR_PASSWORD: Your MySQL user password (for the API regular database).
   • MYSQL_TST_PASSWORD: Your MySQL test password (for the API test database).
   • PHP_VERSION: Your PHP version (See Docker Hub for PHP.
   • TIMEZONE: The project timezone
   • HOST_IP: Your host IP address

2. Prepare your Symfony app, setting your global parameters:

   Create a .env.local file inside your symfony directory, an put this:

   ###> symfony/framework-bundle ###
   APP_SECRET=79fb12ef4d3647b5ddf567e8cc4c6b3c5e93173b
   ###< symfony/framework-bundle ###
   
   ###> doctrine/doctrine-bundle ###
   DATABASE_URL=mysql://u_your_project_rw:[email protected]:3306/your_project
   ###< doctrine/doctrine-bundle ###
   
   ###> lexik/jwt-authentication-bundle ###
   JWT_PASSPHRASE=ChangeMe
   ###< lexik/jwt-authentication-bundle ###
   

   At least this:

   • APP_SECRET: Random 40 characters string for Symfony, you can generate it with http://nux.net/secret.
   • DATABASE_URL: Database url, using parameters defined in .env file in root:
     • Your url has this format : DATABASE_URL=mysql://db_user:[email protected]:3306/db_name
     • db_user: u_<COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME>_rw => u_your_project_rw for example
     • db_password: <MYSQL_USR_PASSWORD> => usr_password for example
     • db_name: <COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME> => your_project for example
   • JWT_PASSPHRASE: Your passphrase used for SSH keys for JWT.

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

   $ docker-compose build --no-cache
   $ docker-compose up -d

4. Finalize Symfony app : See the dedicated README

5. Enjoy :-)

Just run docker-compose up -d, then:

• API (Symfony): http://locahost
• Logs (Kibana in ELK stack): http://locahost:82
• PhpMyAdmin: http://locahost:83
• Logs (files location): logs/nginx and logs/symfony

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

• db: This is the databases container,
• php: This is the PHP-FPM container in which the API (Symfony) volume is mounted,
• nginx: This is the Nginx webserver container in which API 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,
• phpmyadmin: This is the PhpMyAdmin container, to manage your databases,

This results in the following running containers:

$ docker-compose ps
         Name                        Command               State                 Ports
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
your_project_db           docker-entrypoint.sh --def ...   Up      0.0.0.0:3306->3306/tcp, 33060/tcp
your_project_elk          /usr/bin/supervisord -n -c ...   Up      0.0.0.0:82->80/tcp
your_project_nginx        nginx                            Up      0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp
your_project_php          docker-entrypoint php-fpm        Up      9000/tcp
your_project_phpmyadmin   /run.sh supervisord -n -j  ...   Up      0.0.0.0:83->80/tcp, 9000/tcp

• db: The SQL installation scripts are run (create regular and test database, create structs and referential data).
• php: The Symfony API is built, Composer install required vendors and make API ready to get queries.

# bash commands
# docker-compose exec <service> bash
$ docker-compose exec php bash

# Composer (e.g. composer update)
$ docker-compose exec php composer update

# SF commands
$ docker-compose exec php bin/console cache:clear

# Retrieve an IP Addresses
$ docker inspect -f '{{.Name}} => {{range $key, $value := .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}} on {{$key}}{{end}}' $(docker ps -q)

# MySQL commands
$ docker-compose exec db mysql -uroot -p"root"

# Reinitialize database (adapt your database name and root credentials)
$ docker-compose exec db bash
$ /opt/db/scripts/bin/deploy.sh root root your_project
$ /opt/db/scripts/bin/deploy.sh root root your_project --fixtures
$ /opt/db/scripts/bin/deploy.sh root root your_project_tests

# Check CPU consumption
$ docker stats $(docker inspect -f "{{ .Name }}" $(docker ps -q))

# Delete all project containers
$ docker-compose stop
$ docker-compose rm

# Generate UUID
$ docker-compose exec php bash
$ vendor/bin/uuid generate

# See logs
$ docker logs your_project_php -f

You can also use Kibana to visualize Nginx & Symfony logs by visiting http://localhost:82.

To use XDebug change set your machine IP address in .env file. If your IDE default port is not set to 5902 you should do that, too.
