Symfony Demo Docker

The "Symfony Demo Application" is a reference application created to show how to develop applications following the Symfony Best Practices.

You can also learn about these practices in the official Symfony Book.

Requirements

• Docker

Usage

There's no need to configure anything before running the application. To build the images and start the containers, run:

docker compose up -d

Then access the application in your browser at http://localhost:8000. And PHPMyAdmin interface at http://localhost:8080.

Deployment to ECS Fargate

The stack can be deployed to ECS Fargate using the provided cloudformation.yaml template.

Requirements

The template expects the following resources to be present before the deployment:

• VPC
• Private subnet + NAT Gateway (To allow outbound access to the internet)
• Public subnet + Internet Gateway (Allow inbound and outbound access to the internet)
• The web app docker image to be stored in a registry (ECR or public docker)

Deployment

The template only deploys the app and the db, phpmyadmin is purposely left out.
