Local environment setup to run Symfony projects with web server and database

docker-dev-env-for-symfony

This repository contains the basic configuration for a complete local environment for Symfony projects

Content:

• NGINX 1.19 container to handle HTTP requests
• PHP 8.0.1 container to host your Symfony application
• MySQL 8.0 container to store databases

(feel free to update any version in Dockerfiles and ports in docker-compose.yml)

Installation:

• Run make build to create all containers
• Run make start to spin up containers
• Enter the PHP container with make ssh-be
• Install your favourite Symfony version with composer create-project symfony/skeleton project [version (e.g. 5.2.*)]
• Move the content to the root folder with mv project/* . && mv project/.env .. This is necessary since Composer won't install the project if the folder already contains data.
• Copy the content from project/.gitignore and paste it in the root's folder .gitignore
• Remove project folder (not needed anymore)
• Navigate to localhost:1000 so you can see the Symfony welcome page :)

Happy coding!
