This development stack includes Symfony 5/Webpack Encore, MySQL, Apache and PHP built with Docker containers using docker-compose tool.

Services

• MySQL 8.0
• Apache
• PHP7-FPM 7.4
• NodeJS 15.0 (optional)

Installation

1. Clone the repository, build services and create/Start containers:

$ git clone https://github.com/KamilKubicki/docker-symfony-5.git
$ cd docker-symfony-5
$ docker-compose build
$ docker-compose up -d

2. Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/

3. Install additional frontend dependencies and watch for changes:

$ docker-compose exec php yarn
$ docker-compose exec php yarn watch

4. Docker Dashboard main info:

• .doc : documentation for this repository (images etc.), you can skip it completely
• .docker : folder containing Dockerfiles and additional information to run containers. Here is also stored the data of mounted service VOLUME (database files, logs etc.).
• .env : Symfony 5/Docker configuration file - feel free to change regarding your needs
• .docker-compose.yml : definition of multi-container Docker application

Troubleshooting

Environment: WINDOWS 10 Error: Windows Docker Error - standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused "no such file or directory" Solution: Error link to CLRF EOL created after repo is pulled. In case of issue, please change the EOL from CRLF to LF in following files. (you can use Notepad++ and its option find/replace - \r\n to \n)

$ cd docker-symfony-5/.docker/php/config/
$ docker-symfony-5/.docker/php/config/Dockerfile
$ docker-symfony-5/.docker/php/config/docker-entrypoint.sh

Commands

# Docker
$ docker-compose up -d
$ docker-compose down
$ docker-compose up -d --no-deps --build mysql
$ docker-compose up -d --no-deps --build apache
$ docker-compose up -d --no-deps --build php
$ docker-compose exec php sh

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

# Composer
$ docker-compose exec php composer install

# Yarn
$ docker-compose exec php yarn
$ docker-compose exec php yarn watch

Other

In this starter, Node and Yarn were installed directly in PHP container. However, NodeJS can be swiftly defined as separate service (for React/Vue frontend application etc.) as follow:

# docker-compose.yml

version: '3.8'
services:
    ...
+  nodejs:
+    build:
+      context: .
+      dockerfile: ./.docker/nodejs/Dockerfile
+    environment:
+      PHP_HOST: php
+      PHP_PORT: 9000
+    volumes:
+      - .:/var/www/html:rw
+    depends_on:
+      - php

# .docker/php/config/Dockerfile

ARG PHP_VERSION=7.4
FROM php:${PHP_VERSION}-fpm-alpine
RUN apk add --update \
    zip \
    unzip \
    curl \
-    nodejs \
-    yarn
...

Source: Dockerfile, docker-entrypoint.sh
