Symfony Flex application skeleton with docker support

This repository is a skeleton of Symfony Flex application for development and deployment with docker-compose. It contains a set of GitLab CI/CD Pipeline procedures for almost zero deployment downtime.

Only trusted base docker images are used at all stages from development to production:

• nginx:1.14
• debian:stretch-slim with Sury Debian DPA for PHP
• mysql:5.7
• phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin

This repository is a symfony/skeleton composer project, bootstrapped by Environment configurator with the following commands:

composer global require covex-nn/environment
composer global require covex-nn/environment-repository
composer create-project symfony/skeleton .
composer env:apply docker-ci

Usage

Use composer to create a new Symfony Flex application:

composer create-project covex-nn/docker-symfony .

Before launching docker-compose, add two records to C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts or /etc/hosts file:

docker.local 127.0.0.1
mysql 127.0.0.1

If you use Docker Toolbox, execute docker-machine env, get IP-address from DOCKER_HOST variable and use that IP instead of 127.0.0.1

To initialize and run a new application with PHP-builtin web-server use following commands (only MySQL and phpMyAdmin will be started with docker-compose):

docker-compose up -d
phing
php -S localhost:80 -t public

But if you want to use Nginx as Web server, or if you do not have PHP 7.2 installed on your host, execute the following instead:

cp docker-compose.override.yml.dist docker-compose.override.yml
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose exec php phing

Endpoint container with php-fpm is built with multi-stage Dockerfile. PHP extensions intl, pdo_mysql, zip, opcache and xdebug (for dev-environment) are installed by default, but a list of PHP extensions can be easily extended with simple apt-get.

• cron is installed for prod-environment; add your crontab jobs to docker/app.crontab.

• cache and log directories are moved to a non-shared volume for dev-environmen with volumes section of docker-compose.override.yml
