Installation

Different PHP Versions

One of the most interesting features of the Symfony server is that it supports multiple versions of PHP if you have them installed (e.g. via Homebrew), and setting different versions on any directory.

As I work on different projects with have different requirements, this is a must for me.

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.

Further PHP customisations can be made per project by adding a php.ini file.

Secure Sites Locally

symfony server:ca:install

symfony serve --no-tls

Custom Domain Names

https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/symfony_server.html#local-domain-names

symfony proxy:domain:attach dransible

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:

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_. These can be seen by running symfony var:export.

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.

// 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',
  ];
}
