Symfony DevContainer

Effortlessly set up a Symfony development environment using DevContainers.

Prerequisites

• Docker or similar container runtime (e.g. Podman, OrbStack)
• Compose or similar container orchestration tool (e.g. Podman Compose)
• Visual Studio Code
• DevContainers Extension

Usage

1. Copy the .devcontainer folder into root of your Symfony project.
2. Open the project in Visual Studio Code.
3. Click on the green icon in the bottom left corner and select Reopen in Container.
4. ... Profit!

Ports forwarding

By default, the containers forward the following ports:

• The dev service in the compose.yml file forwards the 8000 port from the PHP container to the host machine. You can change the port by modifying the ports field in the dev service.

• The mailer service forwards the 8025 port from the Mailer container to the host machine. You can change the port by modifying the ports field in the mailer service.

Features

Symfony DevContainer comes with tree containers:

• PHP 8.3 (from official Docker image php:8.3-cli) with
  • Composer
  • Symfony CLI
  • Some PHP extensions (e.g. xdebug, intl, pdo_pgsql)
• PostgreSQL 16 (from official Docker image postgres:16-alpine)
• Mailer (from axllent/mailpit)

Customization

You can customize the containers by editing the .devcontainer/compose.yml file.

If you need to install additional PHP extensions or specific versions of software :

• Modify the Dockerfile, build and push the image to your Docker registry.
• Update the image field in the dev service in the compose.yml file.
