+## Installation
+
+## Different PHP Versions
+
+One of the most interesting 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), 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](https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/symfony_server.html#overriding-php-config-options-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:
+
+```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_`. These can be seen by running `symfony var:export`.
+
+```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`
