Docker installation and configuration tutorial for Symfony framework

Introduction:
Docker is a lightweight virtualization technology that allows developers to apply A program is packaged into a portable container along with its dependent environments. Symfony framework is a popular PHP framework for developing high-quality web applications. This article will introduce how to use Docker to install and configure the Symfony framework, and provide specific code examples.

1. Install Docker
First, we need to install Docker. Please follow the steps below:

1. Install Docker on your operating system. You can find the installation package suitable for your system on the Docker official website and install it according to the instructions.
2. After installation, open the terminal or command line interface and enter the following command to confirm that Docker has been installed correctly:
   docker --version

If the version information of Docker is displayed, It means the installation is successful.

2. Create a Docker image for the Symfony application
Now, we will create a Docker image that contains the environment required by the Symfony framework. Please follow the steps below:

1. First, create a new directory to store the Symfony application. In the terminal, enter the following command:
   mkdir symfony-app
   cd symfony-app

2. Create a file named "Dockerfile" and open it with a text editor. In that file, add the following:
   FROM php:7.4-apache
   RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y git zip
   RUN curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/ installer | php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer

   WORKDIR /var/www/html

   COPY . .

   RUN composer install

   EXPOSE 80

   CMD ["apache2-foreground"]

3. Save and close the file.
4. Next, use the terminal to execute the following command to build the Docker image:
   docker build -t symfony-app .

Now, we have successfully created a file containing Docker image of the environment required by Symfony.

3. Use Docker container to run Symfony application
Now, we will use Docker container to run Symfony application. Please follow the steps below:

1. In the terminal, enter the following command to run the Docker image we just created:
   docker run -p 8080:80 -v $(pwd ):/var/www/html symfony-app

   This command will start a container, map port 80 in the container to port 8080 on the host, and mount the current directory to /var in the container /www/html directory.

2. Open your browser and enter "http://localhost:8080" in the address bar. If everything goes well, you will see Symfony's welcome page.

4. Conclusion
By using Docker, we can easily build a development environment for Symfony applications and ensure the consistency of the environment. This article briefly introduces how to use Docker to install and configure the Symfony framework, and provides specific code examples. I hope it will be helpful to you. In actual development, you can further configure and customize the Docker image according to your own needs to meet project needs.
