What is this

Requirements

docker-compose
If you are not using docker / docker-compose then follow this

Recommendations

*nix platform - most likely you're going to host your application on *nix platform - so I would recommend to do development also on that platform.
Makefile support - if you don't have this you need to look Makefile file to see what each make command is doing.

Installation

This installation guide expects that you're using docker-compose.

1. Clone repository

Use your favorite IDE and get checkout from GitHub or just use following command

git clone https://github.com/tarlepp/symfony-flex-backend.git

2. Start containers

For this just run following command:

make start

This command will create three (3) containers to run this backend application. Those containers are following:

php (this is for actual application)
nginx (this will serve application)
mysql (MySQL 5.7 which will store all the data of application)

3. Using application

By default make start / docker-compose up command starts those three containers and exposes following ports on localhost:

8000 (nginx + php-fpm)
3310 (mysql)

And this application is usable within your browser on http://localhost:8000 address.

MySQL credentials:

user: root
password: password

4. Getting shell to container

After you've run make start / docker-compose up command you can list all running containers with docker ps command.

And to eg. get shell access inside one of those containers you can run following command:

make bash

Where that php is that actual container where this backend application is running.

5. Building containers

For time to time you probably need to build containers again. This is something that you should do everytime if you have some problems to get containers up and running. This you can do with following command:

make start-build

Frontend?

So this is an API backend what about frontend then? No worries I've made simple Angular NgRx powered template frontend which work with this backend just out of the box.

Angular NgRx powered frontend template for Symfony backend

With these two template applications it should be quite easy to start to build your own application - right?
