🐳 Docker + PHP 8.2 + MySQL + Nginx + Symfony 6.2 Boilerplate

Description

This is a complete stack for running Symfony 6.2 into Docker containers using docker-compose tool.

It is composed by 4 containers:

• nginx, acting as the webserver.
• php, the PHP-FPM container with the 8.2 version of PHP.
• db which is the MySQL database container with a MySQL 8.0 image.

Installation

1. 😀 Clone this repo.

2. If you are working with Docker Desktop for Mac, ensure you have enabled VirtioFS for your sharing implementation. VirtioFS brings improved I/O performance for operations on bind mounts. Enabling VirtioFS will automatically enable Virtualization framework.

3. Create the file ./.docker/.env.nginx.local using ./.docker/.env.nginx as template. The value of the variable NGINX_BACKEND_DOMAIN is the server_name used in NGINX.

4. Go inside folder ./docker and run docker compose up -d to start containers.

5. You should work inside the php container. This project is configured to work with Remote Container extension for Visual Studio Code, so you could run Reopen in container command after open the project.

6. Inside the php container, run composer install to install dependencies from /var/www/symfony folder.

7. Use the following value for the DATABASE_URL environment variable:

DATABASE_URL=mysql://app_user:helloworld@db:3306/app_db?serverVersion=8.0.33

You could change the name, user and password of the database in the env file at the root of the project.
