|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
|
||
The Symfony server is bundled as part of the `symfony` binary that is available to download from <https://symfony.com/download>.
|
||
|
||
To install it, run this command:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
curl -sS https://get.symfony.com/cli/installer | bash
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
It works with any project, not just Symfony.
|
||
|
||
## Different PHP Versions
|
||
|
||
One of the most useful features of the Symfony server is that it [supports multiple versions of PHP](https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/symfony_server.html#different-php-settings-per-project) if you have them installed (e.g. via Homebrew on macOS), and a different version can be selected per directory.
|
||
|
||
This is done simply by adding a `.php-version` file to the root of the project that contains the PHP version to use - e.g. `7.3`.
|
||
|
||
Next time the server is started, this file will be read and the correct version of PHP will be used.
|
||
|
||
[Further PHP customisations can be made per project](https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/symfony_server.html#overriding-php-config-options-per-project) by adding a `php.ini` file.
|
||
|
||
## Securing Sites Locally
|
||
|
||
The Symfony server allows for serving sites via HTTPS by installing its own local certificate authority.
|
||
|
||
To install it, run this command:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
symfony server:ca:install
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Any HTTP traffic will be automatically redirected to HTTPS.
|
||
|
||
If you then need to run a site with just HTTP, add the `--no-tls` option to the `server:start` command.
|
||
|
||
## Adding Databases with Docker
|
||
|
||
The Symfony server has an integration with Docker for providing extra services - such as databases that we’ll need for Drupal.
|
||
|
||
This is my `docker-compose.yaml` file which defines a `database` service for MySQL:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
version: '2.1'
|
||
|
||
services:
|
||
database:
|
||
image: mysql:5.7
|
||
ports: [3306]
|
||
environment:
|
||
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: secret
|
||
volumes:
|
||
- mysql-data:/var/lib/mysql
|
||
|
||
volumes:
|
||
mysql-data:
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Because port 3306 is exposed, the server recognises it as a database service and automatically creates environment variables prefixed with `DATABASE_`.
|
||
|
||
A list of all the environment variables can be seen by running `symfony var:export` (add `| tr " " "\n"` if you want to view each one on a new line):
|
||
|
||
```dotenv
|
||
DATABASE_DATABASE=main
|
||
DATABASE_DRIVER=mysql
|
||
DATABASE_HOST=127.0.0.1
|
||
DATABASE_NAME=main
|
||
DATABASE_PASSWORD=secret
|
||
DATABASE_PORT=32776
|
||
DATABASE_SERVER=mysql://127.0.0.1:32776
|
||
DATABASE_URL=mysql://root:secret@127.0.0.1:32776/main?sslmode=disable&charset=utf8mb4
|
||
DATABASE_USER=root
|
||
DATABASE_USERNAME=root
|
||
SYMFONY_DOCKER_ENV=1
|
||
SYMFONY_TUNNEL=
|
||
SYMFONY_TUNNEL_ENV=
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Now I can use these environment variables within my `settings.php` file to allow Drupal to connect to the database service.
|
||
|
||
```php
|
||
// web/sites/default/settings.php
|
||
|
||
// ...
|
||
|
||
if ($_SERVER['SYMFONY_DOCKER_ENV']) {
|
||
$databases['default']['default'] = [
|
||
'driver' => $_SERVER['DATABASE_DRIVER'],
|
||
'host' => $_SERVER['DATABASE_HOST'],
|
||
'database' => $_SERVER['DATABASE_NAME'],
|
||
'username' => $_SERVER['DATABASE_USER'],
|
||
'password' => $_SERVER['DATABASE_PASSWORD'],
|
||
'port' => $_SERVER['DATABASE_PORT'],
|
||
'prefix' => '',
|
||
'namespace' => 'Drupal\\Core\\Database\\Driver\\mysql',
|
||
'collation' => 'utf8mb4_general_ci',
|
||
];
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Installing Drupal
|
||
|
||
`../vendor/bin/drush site-install`:
|
||
|
||
> Error: Class 'Drush\Sql\Sql' not found in Drush\Sql\SqlBase::getInstance()
|
||
|
||
`symfony php ../vendor/bin/drush st`
|
||
|
||
This will ensure that the correct PHP version and configuration is used, and that the appropriate environment variables are available.
|
||
|
||
## Custom Domain Names
|
||
|
||
Good for multisites.
|
||
|
||
https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/symfony_server.html#local-domain-names
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
cp web/sites/default web/sites/umami
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`symfony proxy:domain:attach umami`
|
||
|
||
> The proxy is now configured with the following domains for this directory:
|
||
> * http://umami.wip
|
||
|
||
```php
|
||
// web/sites/sites.php
|
||
|
||
$sites['umami.wip'] = 'umami';
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
labels:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
labels:
|
||
com.symfony.server.service-prefix: 'DATABASE_UMAMI'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
symfony-server-drupal-test_database_1
|
||
symfony-server-drupal-test_database_umami_1
|
||
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
symfony php ../vendor/bin/drush si demo_umami \
|
||
-l umami \
|
||
--no-interaction
|
||
```
