Docker Development Environment for Nginx, PHP & Mongo

Intended Use

This development environment has been created for use with a Symfony API, but should be suitable for general development where Nginx, PHP and Mongo are required.

See Tags for details of the tags in this repo that will work with tags in the Symfony API repo.

Edit the .env file

• Edit the .env file and set CODE_DIR_HOST to reflect the location of the source code on your host machine.
• CODE_DIR_CONTAINER is set to /var/www/html, if this is altered then root within nginx/default.conf will also need updating and the volumes directive for nginx will need uncommenting in docker-compose.yml
  • currently root in default.conf is set to /var/www/html/public to serve Symfony 4.
• Set MONGO_DATA_DIR_HOST to directory on host machine for storing MongoDB data.

Install docker-sync

• docker-sync is used to improve read/write access for mounted volumes.

• Install docker-sync, for instance:

  gem install docker-sync --user-install
  

Bring up the stack

docker-sync-stack start

• Add an entry to your /etc/hosts file if you want to use a domain name.
