Doctrine

Install Doctrine with Composer (orm-pack):

composer require doctrine

MySQL

Configure MySQL credentials in .env file uncomment line with DATABASE_URL="mysql: and comment on line with DATABASE_URL="postgresql: So we have: DATABASE_URL="mysql://root:secret@mysql8-service:3306/docker-symfony?serverVersion=8" where:

login: root
password: secret
host: mysql8-service (taken from the Dockerfile)
port: 3306
base name: choose what you want
serverVersion: we use MySQL v8

Exit the container

exit

For info: You may use docker-compose run instead of docker exec

Creating database for Symfony

docker-compose run --rm php74-service php bin/console doctrine:database:create

Hint: (docker exec for containers and docker-compose for services)

Open MySQL container

docker exec -it mysql8-container bash

Connect to MySQL to verify database...

mysql -uroot -psecret

... and YES! NO SPACE after -u and -p options!

Show databases

show databases;

Then quit MySQL and exit MySQL container:

quit

then:

exit

Install webpack-encore-bundle

First, connect to PHP74 container:

docker exec -it php74-container bash
