Docker setup for Symfony projects

Docker Skeleton for Symfony Projects

This skeleton will provide a complete development environment for your Symfony project.

This setup contains

• MySQL Database
• Nginx configuration (tested for Symfony 4 and 5 applications)
• PHP-FPM 7.4
• Composer, npm and yarn
• MailHog as mail emulator

Tech Stack:

• Ubuntu 18.04
• Docker Community 19
• Symfony 4 or 5
• PHPSTORM as IDE

Setup Steps

1. Change docker-composer file for debugging with XDebug

Change the values of XDEBUG_CONFIG and PHP_IDE_CONFIG

You can get your hostname from the console. You'll need it for set up remote debugging with XDebug.

For PHP_IDE_CONFIG choose a project name. This will be the name for you PHP Debug Server (Setting in PHPSTORM)

Adapt PHP_XDEBUG_REMOTE_PORT. I use 9999 as remote port. You need to change the debugging port in PHPSTORM settings as well.

2. Copy your project to the project folder

You can either clone/copy an existing project or create a new one with Symfony.

Create with Composer

• start docker container
• run docker-compose build
• run docker-compose up -d
• go into the PHP container docker-compose exec php bash
• /usr/local/bin/composer create-project symfony/website-skeleton . 4.4.*
• chown -R www-data:www-data .

Clone repository into project folder

• if you're in the root directory run git clone <REPOSITORY_URL> project

3. Change .env file

• set database URL DATABASE_URL=mysql://database_user:12345678@db:3306/database

• set mailer URL MAILER_URL=smtp://mailhog:1025

4. Start your container

• Run docker-compose build to build the PHP image.

• Run docker-compose up -d to start all containers.

5. Open your application

You can reach your Symfony app at http://localhost:8080

At http://localhost:8025/ you'll reach the MailHog Frontend
