Symfony 4 Running on Docker Compose

I am developing an application to improve vocabulary. You will enter in this application the words you learned. Then, this application asks you randomly. For this, i need to establish the workspace. The workspace will become Symfony 4 on Docker Compose. It dependent Nginx, Php-Fpm and Mysql containers.

Firstly, i will adjust docker-compose.yml file. Mysql is simple and pure. Nginx and Php-fpm are establishing interested with their files. Project structure is like this.

The following lines mean docker.compose.yml file.

version: '2'
services:
    php:
        build: ./php-fpm
        volumes:
            - ./individual-vocabulary:/var/www/individual-vocabulary
            - ./php-fpm/php.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/php.ini
            - ./assets/vocabulary-gc-project.json:/var/www/vocabulary-gc-project.json
        environment:
            GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS: /var/www/vocabulary-gc-project.json
        depends_on:
            - mysql
    web:
        image: nginx:latest
        ports:
            - "8888:80"
        volumes:
            - ./individual-vocabulary:/var/www/individual-vocabulary
            - ./nginx/individual-vocabulary.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
        depends_on:
            - php
    mysql:
        image: mysql:5.6
        environment:
            MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: symf0ny
        ports:
            - "3333:3306"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

I need a Nginx configuration file. I defined as below.

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name web;
    root /var/www/individual-vocabulary/public;

    location / {
        # try to serve file directly, fallback to index.php
        try_files $uri /index.php$is_args$args;
    }

    location ~ ^/index\.php(/|$) {
        #fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php7.2-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_pass php:9000;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $realpath_root;
        fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
        fastcgi_buffers 4 256k;
        fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
        internal;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        return 404;
    }

    error_log /var/log/nginx/project_error.log;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/project_access.log;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Well, right now we must configure Dockerfile for Php-fpm.

FROM php:7.2-fpm-alpine

RUN apk update \
    && apk add  --no-cache git mysql-client curl libmcrypt libmcrypt-dev openssh-client icu-dev \
    libxml2-dev freetype-dev libpng-dev libjpeg-turbo-dev g++ make autoconf \
    && docker-php-source extract \
    && pecl install xdebug redis \
    && docker-php-ext-enable xdebug redis \
    && docker-php-source delete \
    && docker-php-ext-install pdo_mysql soap intl zip \
    && echo "xdebug.remote_enable=on" >> /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-ext-xdebug.ini \
    && echo "xdebug.remote_autostart=off" >> /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-ext-xdebug.ini \
    && echo "xdebug.remote_port=10000" >> /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-ext-xdebug.ini \
    && echo "xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp" >> /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-ext-xdebug.ini \
    && echo "xdebug.remote_connect_back=0" >> /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-ext-xdebug.ini \
    #&& curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer \
    && rm -rf /tmp/*

CMD ["php-fpm", "-F"]

WORKDIR /var/www/individual-vocabulary

After this, i need a Php.ini file. For this, i defined like this.

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

From now on, i can install Symfony 4. I run this command in project directory into as document.

composer create-project symfony/website-skeleton individual-vocabulary
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

After installation, you will see .env file in application. I have changed DATABASE_URL environment variable as below.

APP_ENV=dev
APP_SECRET=9258a6c0e5c19d0d58a8c48bbc757491
DATABASE_URL=mysql://root:symf0ny@mysql:3306/individual-vocabulary
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

I have defined root for user, symf0ny for password and mysqlfor host. This host name is coming from docker-compose.yml file. As you remember, we have defined mysqlname for mysql service in this file.

Right now, we can run this command. So, all images become a container.

docker-compose up
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

From now on, :8888port is listening to http request. If you open http://localhost:8888, it answers you.

volumes:

  • ./php-fpm/config/php.ini in docker-compose.yml, but there is no config directory on the screenshot

Please show us the same how to deploy on prod symfony docker app.

In fact, i prefer Google Cloud App Engine for production, if i need to run Symfony on Docker. Except that, i never have experience custom Docker for production.

Thanks, this looked like what I was looking for until I saw you are using docker-compose v2 ... why? I thought v3 came out a long time ago
