||
## Installation
|
||
|
||
https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/symfony_server.html
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Even though it’s by Symfony, the local webserver works with any type of
|
||
project - including Drupal 8 and Drupal 7.
|
||
|
||
## Getting started
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Alias for server:start, starts the server
|
||
symfony serve
|
||
|
||
# Run the server in daemon mode (in the background)
|
||
symfony serve -d
|
||
|
||
# Display the status of the server
|
||
symfony server:status
|
||
|
||
# Stop the server
|
||
symfony server:stop
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`web` and `docroot` directories are automatically used as the document root for
|
||
the server, so files are served from there if you run the `serve` command within
|
||
the project’s root directory.
|
||
|
||
## 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, and a different version can be selected per
|
||
directory.
|
||
|
||
This is done by adding a `.php-version` file to the root of the project that
|
||
contains the PHP version to use. For example:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
echo "7.3" > .php-version
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Next time the server is started, this file will be read and the correct version
|
||
of PHP will be used.
|
||
|
||
If you’re using macOS and want to install another version of PHP, you can do it
|
||
using Homebrew:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Install PHP 7.3
|
||
brew install php@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.
|
||
|
||
## Securing Sites Locally
|
||
|
||
The Symfony server allows for serving sites via HTTPS by installing its own
|
||
local certificate authority.
|
||
|
||
If it’s not installed automatically, run this command to install it:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
symfony server:ca:install
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Now any site will be served via HTTPS by default, and any HTTP requests will be
|
||
automatically redirected to HTTPS.
|
||
|
||
If you need to run a site with just HTTP, add the `--no-tls` option to the
|
||
`serve` 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, and `| sort` if you want to list them alphabetically):
|
||
|
||
```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
|
||
|
||
Drush is added as a dependency via Composer.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
../vendor/bin/drush site-install
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
However, this will cause an error like this because Drupal cannot connect to the
|
||
database.
|
||
|
||
> Error: Class 'Drush\Sql\Sql' not found in Drush\Sql\SqlBase::getInstance()
|
||
|
||
To fix this, ensure that the command is prefixed with `symfony php`. This will
|
||
ensure that the correct PHP version and configuration is used, and that the
|
||
appropriate environment variables are available.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
symfony php ../vendor/bin/drush site-install
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This also applies to all other Drush commands.
|
||
|
||
## Custom Domain Names
|
||
|
||
Good for multisites.
|
||
|
||
https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/symfony_server.html#local-domain-names
|
||
|
||
TODO: add proxy image
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
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
|
||
```
