Docker Symfony (PHP7-FPM - NGINX - MySQL - ELK - REDIS)

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

Installation

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

   cp .env.dist .env

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

   $ docker-compose build
   $ 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.Networks.dockersymfony_default.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. Update app/config/parameters.yml

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

   2. 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

5. Enjoy :-)

Usage

Just run docker-compose up -d, then:

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

How it works?

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,
• 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.

This results in the following running containers:

$ docker-compose ps
           Name                          Command               State              Ports

dockersymfony_redis_1         /entrypoint.sh redis-server      Up      0.0.0.0:6379->6379/tcp      

Useful commands

# bash commands
$ docker-compose exec php bash

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

# SF commands (Tips: there is an alias inside php container)
$ docker-compose exec php php /var/www/symfony/app/console cache:clear # Symfony2
$ docker-compose exec php php /var/www/symfony/bin/console cache:clear # Symfony3
# Same command by using alias
$ docker-compose exec php bash
$ sf cache:clear

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

# Redis commands
$ docker-compose exec redis redis-cli

# F***ing cache/logs folder
$ sudo chmod -R 777 app/cache app/logs # Symfony2
$ sudo chmod -R 777 var/cache var/logs # Symfony3

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

# Delete all containers
$ docker rm $(docker ps -aq)

# Delete all images
$ docker rmi $(docker images -q)

FAQ

• How I can add PHPMyAdmin?
  Simply add this: (then go to symfony.dev:8080)

phpmyadmin:
    image: phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin
    ports:
        - "8080:80"
    links:
        - db

• 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.

• Permission problem? See this doc (Setting up Permission)

• How to config Xdebug? Xdebug is configured out of the box! Just config your IDE to connect port 9001 and id key PHPSTORM

• Using SncRedis? Your config file should be like this:

  snc_redis:
      clients:
          default:
              type: predis
              alias: default
              dsn: redis://%redis_host%
