An easy way to set up your Symfony application using Docker and docker-compose. This will set up a development environment with nginx, php7.4-fpm, and mysql.

1. Structure
2. Setting the ENV file for docker-compose
3. Docker-compose configuration model
4. Quickstart for linux
5. Quickstart for Windows
6. Use docker commands
7. Self-signed certificate on Nginx
   • Add this area in nginx.conf
8. Configure nginx with SSL certificates "CertBot"
9. Contributing

It includes the following:

APP_PATH=../web
WORKING_DIR=/code

PROJECT_NAME=project

VIRTUAL_HOST=localhost #for example you can use: project.local
APP_ENV=dev

MYSQL_DATABASE=db_project
MYSQL_USER=user
MYSQL_PASSWORD=password
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root

It includes the following:

- NGINX
  - port 80 (default)
  - port 443 for SSL connection (default)
  - use depends_on "php" #Express dependency between services
- PHP
  - FPM configured for NGINX
- MySQL
  - port 3306 (default)

Need install:

• docker 18.06.0+
• docker-compose 1.18.0+

1. Create the docker group if it does not exist
   • sudo groupadd docker
2. Add your user to the docker group
   • sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
3. Need to reboot your computer
   • sudo reboot

If you WANT to use yourself host name, you MUST run:

• echo "127.0.0.1 project.local" >> /etc/hosts

Create new .env file, copy content from .env.dist [.env for docker-compose]

• cd /YOUR_PROJECT_DIRECTORY/docker
• cp .env.dist .env

Create new .env file, copy content from .env.dist [.env for symfony]

• cd /YOUR_PROJECT_DIRECTORY/web
• cp .env.dist .env

Open Git Bash in /YOUR_PROJECT_DIRECTORY/docker:

• sudo chmod +x run.sh
• ./run.sh

Next step:

• docker exec -it project_php composer install

Need install:

• docker for windows
• git

If you WANT to use yourself host name, you MUST do it:

• PowerShell run as administrator
• echo "127.0.0.1 project.local" >> C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

Create new .env file, copy content from .env.dist [.env for docker-compose]

• cd /YOUR_PROJECT_DIRECTORY/docker
• cp .env.dist .env

Create new .env file, copy content from .env.dist [.env for symfony]

• cd /YOUR_PROJECT_DIRECTORY/web
• cp .env.dist .env

Open Git Bash in /YOUR_PROJECT_DIRECTORY/docker:

• ./run.sh

Next step:

• winpty docker exec -it project_php composer install

docker images #List images
docker ps #List containers
docker exec -it project_php bash #Run a command in a running container
docker stop $(docker ps -aq) #Stop one or more running containers
docker rmi -f $(docker images -q) #Remove all images at once
docker history	#Show the history of an image
docker logs	#Fetch the logs of a container

Use this to delete everything: docker system prune -a --volumes

More info -> The base command for the Docker CLI.

1. docker exec -it project_nginx bash
2. openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 2048
3. openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
4. cp server.key server.key.org
5. openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key
6. openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt
7. cp server.crt /etc/nginx/
8. cp server.key /etc/nginx/
9. vim /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/server.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/server.key;

    location / {
        root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
        index  index.html index.htm;
    }
}

And last step: nginx -s reload

1. docker exec -it project_nginx bash
2. Install CertBot
   • apt-get install certbot python-certbot-nginx
3. Either get and install your certificates...
   • sudo certbot --nginx
4. nginx -s reload
