Docker symfony on Mac (OS X)

Introduction

This is my docker project created for symfony php framework(https://symfony.com/) projects. I use docker on my Mac for large symfony application and met an performance issue described under https://forums.docker.com/t/file-access-in-mounted-volumes-extremely-slow-cpu-bound/8076/126. To solve the issue I use in this project external library http://docker-sync.io/ with successful. This solution synchronize files changes from my project path to docker images with delay below 1 s(can't see this).

Project is ready to work with Symfony 3.1. Includes PHP7.1 + NGINX + MARIADB + xdebug + wkhtmltopdf + composer

I didn't tested it on Windows but it should work ;).

I use database localy so all database files are preserved on my local machine not in image.

HOW TO START WITH THIS PROJECT

I will recomend to pull this repository localy and then copy docker files and paths(path docker, files docker-*) to your symfony project. I have committed to this repo only one file to web/ path, only to show that it's working fine.

RUN project

Add to your /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 web

OS X

Install http://docker-sync.io/

gem install docker-sync

Run as deamon

Running as deamon is very convenient and I will prefer this way.
