Docker Setup for Symfony 6.3.* Web Apps

Docker containers for traditional Symfony 6.3.* web apps, i.e., apps that you would usually create using the --webapp Symfony CLI option or the composer require webapp command.

What is inside

• Nginx webserver
• PHP 8.2 (with composer)
• MySQL 8.0
• phpMyAdmin

Local dev guide (Linux)

1. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/TOA-Anakin/symfony-webapp-docker-dev.git

2. Rename the cloned repo as desired:

   mv symfony-webapp-docker-dev your_project_name

3. Find your user ID using the id -u command and update the .docker/.env file accordingly.
4. cd into the .docker directory and build the Docker containers:

   cd your_project_name/.docker
   docker compose up -d --build

   Before the end of the process you should see a list of newly created (now running) containers:

   [+] Running 6/6
   ✔ Network symfony_webapp_docker_symfony_app
   Created                                         0.1s 
   ✔ Volume "symfony_webapp_docker_db_app"
   Created                                         0.0s 
   ✔ Container symfony_webapp_docker-phpmyadmin-1
   Started                                         0.2s 
   ✔ Container symfony_webapp_docker-php-1
   Started                                         0.2s 
   ✔ Container symfony_webapp_docker-db-1
   Started                                         0.2s 
   ✔ Container symfony_webapp_docker-nginx-1
   Started                                         0.2s 

5. Open the terminal of the PHP container (mine is named symfony_webapp_docker-php-1) and create a Symfony skeleton project using composer:

   docker exec -it symfony_webapp_docker-php-1 bash
   composer create-project symfony/skeleton:"6.3.*" tmp_dir

   Move the contents of temp_dir into the project root:

   mv tmp_dir/* . && mv tmp_dir/.[!.]* . && rmdir tmp_dir

   Install Symfony web app packages:

   composer require webapp

   Note: If you are prompted with a question Do you want to include Docker configuration from recipes?, answer n [No].
6. Access your Symfony web app at http://localhost, phpMyAdmin is accessible at http://localhost:8081
