Docker stack for Symfony projects

:octocat:

Basic info

Previous requirements

This stack needs docker and docker-compose to be installed.

Installation

Create a .env file from .env.dist and adapt it according to the needs of the application

$ cp .env.dist .env && nano .env

Due to an Elasticsearch 6 requirement, we may need to set a host's sysctl option and restart (More info):

$ sudo sysctl -w vm.maxmapcount=262144

Build and run the stack in detached mode (stop any system's ngixn/apache2 service first)

$ docker-compose build
    $ docker-compose up -d

Get the bridge IP address

$ docker network inspect bridge | grep Gateway | grep -o -E '[0-9\.]+'
    # OR an alternative command
    $ ifconfig docker0 | awk '/inet:/{ print substr($2,6); exit }'

Update your system's hosts file with the IP retrieved in step 3

Prepare the Symfony application

1. Update Symfony env variables (.env)

#...
        DATABASEURL=mysql://dbuser:dbpassword@mysql:3306/dbname
        #...

2. Composer install & update the schema from the container

$ docker-compose exec php bash
        $ composer install
        $ symfony doctrine:schema:update --force

(Optional) Xdebug: Configure your IDE to connect to port 9001 with key PHPSTORM

How does it work?

We have the following docker-compose built images:

nginx: The Nginx webserver container in which the application volume is mounted.
php: The PHP-FPM container in which the application volume is mounted too.
mysql: The MySQL database container.
elk: Container which uses Logstash to collect logs, send them into Elasticsearch and visualize them with Kibana.
redis: The Redis server container.
rabbitmq: The RabbitMQ server/administration container.

Running docker-compose ps should result in the following running containers:

Name                          Command               State              Ports
