symfony-boilerplate

Docker container to get started with Symfony 2.7 LTS and much more.

What's inside

• PHP 5.6
• Symfony 2.7 LTS
• Nginx
• Node.js / NPM
• MySQL
• Redis
• Elasticsearch
• Blackfire Profiler
• Gulp.js
• Bower

Gulp.js build system

• Browserify (incl. Babel.js ES6 transpiler)
• SASS compilation
• Automatic file watcher

Prerequisites

Install Docker on your system.

• Install instructions for Mac OS X
• Install instructions for Ubuntu Linux
• Install instructions for other platforms

Install Docker Compose on your system.

• Install instructions for all supported systems

Optionally, I suggest that you use docker-machine for managing your Docker hosts.

Get up and running

1. Download or clone this repository

   $ git clone https://github.com/b00giZm/symfony-boilerplate.git

2. Copy app/.env.example to app/.env so Docker (and later Symfony) can use it.

   $ cd code/symfony-boilerplate; cp app/.env.example app/.env

3. Build your Docker development container container: It will pull a base image from the Docker registry and install all necessary dependencies (This might take a while, depending on your host system).

   $ docker-compose build

4. Create and start the main Docker container and attach all linked containers. For your very first run, this will also take a while, because docker-compose first needs to pull the images for all linked containers.

   $ docker-compose up -d

5. Install PHP dependencies through Composer, which you installed during step 1.

   $ docker-compose run --no-deps web composer update

6. Install Node.js dependencies through npm, which you did also install during the first step.

   $ docker-compose run --no-deps web npm install

7. Install frontend components through Bower, which you did also install during the first step.

   $ docker-compose run --no-deps web bower install

8. Build all frontend Javascripts and CSS files, contained in the FrontendBundle, with Gulp.js and watch file changes for automatic rebuilds.

   $ docker-compose run --no-deps web gulp

   What it does:

   • It compiles all SASS stylesheets inside src/FrontendBundle/Resouerces/public/sass to CSS.
   • It compiles Javascripts inside src/FrontendBundle/Resouerces/public/lib with Browserify. You can use ES6 and ES7 syntax and features, if you want. Browserify takes care of compiling everyhing to 100% browser compatible Javascript.

9. You can then access the app, which should then be running on your docker daemon on HTTP port 8000 (On OS X you can use docker-machine env dev to find out the IP address). For convenience, I created a localdocker.dev entry in my /etc/hosts which points to that IP.

   $ open http://localdocker.dev:8000/app_dev.php

Now go and build something awesome! 🙏

Alternative Way

Instead of running steps 5) to 8) as docker-compose on/off commands, you can run them directly inside the container:

$ docker-compose run --no-deps web bash
root@ee746ce03589:/code/app $ composer update
...
root@ee746ce03589:/code/app $ npm install
...
root@ee746ce03589:/code/app $ bower install
...
root@ee746ce03589:/code/app $ gulp watch

This really is my preferred way, because it involves less typing and it feels more "natural", because you may need to initiate several commands via the CLI on a regular base (creating class skeletons, running database migrations etc.)

Blackfire.io Support

If you want to use the Blackfire profiler, we got you covered as well. Just fill in your Blackfire credentials in app/.env (after you copied it from app/.env.example) and you're good to go.

BLACKFIRE_SERVER_ID=YourBlackfireServerID
BLACKFIRE_SERVER_TOKEN=YourBlackfireServerToken
BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_ID=YourBlackfireClientID
BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_TOKEN=YourBlackfireClientToken
BLACKFIRE_LOG_LEVEL=4
