Read in English 🇬🇧 or in French 🇫🇷 why we created and open-sourced this starter-kit.
Before executing any command, you need to configure few parameters in the
fabfile.py
file:
-
env.project_name
(required): This will be used to prefix all docker objects (network, images, containers); -
env.root_domain
(optional, default:project_name + '.test'
): This is the root domain where the application will be available; -
env.extra_domains
(optional): This contains extra domains where the application will be available; -
env.project_directory
(optional, default:application
): This is the host directory containing your PHP application.
Note: Some Fabric tasks have been added for DX purposes. Checkout and adapt
the tasks install
, migrate
and cache_clear
to your project
To save your time with certificate generation, this project already embed a basic self-signed certificate. So HTTPS will work out of the box in your browser as soon as you accept this self-signed certificate.
However, if you prefer to have valid certificate in local (some tools do not necessarily let you work with invalid certificates), you will have to:
- generate a certificate valid for your domain name
- sign this certificate with a locally trusted CA
In this case, it's recommended to use more powerful tool like mkcert.
As mkcert uses a CA root, you will need to generate a certificate on each computer
using this stack and so add /infrastructure/services/router/certs/
to the
.gitignore
file.
Alternatively, you can configure
infrastructure/docker/services/router/openssl.cnf
then use
infrastructure/docker/services/router/generate-ssl.sh
to create your own
certificate. Then you will have to add it to your computer CA store.
We provide a README.dist.md to explain what anyone need to know to start and interact with the infrastructure.
You should probably use this README.dist.md as a base for your project's README.md:
mv README.{dist.md,md}

If you want to create a new Symfony project, you need to:
-
Remove the
application
folder:rm -rf application/
-
Create a new project:
composer create-project symfony/website-skeleton application
-
Configure the
.env
sed -i "s#DATABASE_URL.*#DATABASE_URL=pgsql://app:app@postgres/YOUR_DB_NAME#" application/.env
-
Configure doctrine
By default, Symfony and Doctrine are configured to use MySQL. Since MySQL has bad default configuration, Doctrine is forced to configure MySQL explicitly. PostgreSQL does not have this issue. So update the following configuration in
application/config/packages/doctrine.yaml
:doctrine: dbal: # configure these for your database server driver: 'pdo_pgsql' server_version: '11' charset: UTF8 default_table_options: charset: UTF8 # Adapt the collate according to the content of your DB. # For example, if your content is mainly in French: # collate: fr_FR.UTF8 url: '%env(resolve:DATABASE_URL)%'

elasticsearch-data: {}
services:
elasticsearch:
image: elasticsearch:7.3.2
volumes:
- elasticsearch-data:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data
environment:

In order to setup crontab, you should add a new container:
# services/cron/Dockerfile
ARG PROJECT_NAME
FROM ${PROJECT_NAME}_php-base
COPY crontab /etc/crontabs/app
CMD ["crond", "-l", "0", "-f"]
And you can add all your crons in the services/cron/crontab
file:
* * * * * php /home/app/application/my-command >> /path/to/log
Finally, add the following content to the docker-compose.yml
file:
services:
cron:
build: services/cron
volumes:
- "../../${PROJECT_DIRECTORY}:/home/app/application:cached"

In order to setup workers, you should define their service in the docker-compose.worker.yml
file:
services:
worker_my_worker:
<<: *worker_base
command: /home/app/application/my-worker
worker_date:
<<: *worker_base
command: watch -n 1 date
You also need to fill the fabfile.py
to fill the tasks start_workers
and stop_workers
.
These tasks currently propose default examples to use with Symfony Messenger.

Docker-compose is not a tool to build images. This is why you can hit the following bug:
ERROR: Service 'frontend' failed to build: pull access denied for app_basephp, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied
In order to fix this issue, you can update the services_to_build_first
variable
in the fabfile.py
file. This will force docker-compose to build theses
services first.

This starter kit is compatible with Docker for Windows, so you can enjoy native Docker experience on Windows. You will have to keep in mind some differences:
- Composer cache can't be set to the relative home path in
infrastructure/docker/docker-compose.builder.yml
: remove- "~/.composer/cache:/home/app/.composer/cache"
; - Python 2.7.17 is broken, do not use it: pypa/pipenv#4016;
- You will be prompted to run the env vars manually if you use PowerShell.

Let's say you have a container (frontend
) that responds to many hostname:
app.test
, api.app.test
, admin.app.test
. And you have another container
(builder
) that need to call the frontend
with a specific hostname - or with
HTTPS. This is usually the case when you have a functional test suite.
To enable this feature, you need to add extra_hosts
to the builder
container
like following:
services:
builder:
# [...]
extra_hosts:
- "app.test:172.17.0.1"
- "api.app.test:172.17.0.1"
- "admin.app.test:172.17.0.1"
Note: 172.17.0.1
is the default IP of the docker0
interface. It can be
different on some installations. You can see this IP thanks to the following
command ip address show docker0
. Since docker-compose.yml
file supports
environnement variables you may script this with fabric.
