symball/data_container repository overview

The purpose of this image is to provide a toolbox of functions in order to support rapid development of Symfony projects so that you don't have to muddy your host operating system. Notable features include:

  - PHP5. a lot of extensions enabled in including classic MongoDB 
  - Symfony dedicated installer
  - Composer
  - Gulp task runner
  - Bower package manager

/var/www/html is used as a working directory and should be linked to whatever directory on the host from which you wish to develop. In order to expose the project, you can either expose a port and use the built in PHP web server (there is a Symfony command to help this) or use as a linked volume in a seperate web serving container such as NGINX with PHP support.

To make use of the utilities contained within the container, pull up a shell using: docker exec -it CONTAINER_NAME bash

Enjoy
