README

A Docker-based installer and runtime for the Symfony web framework, with FrankenPHP and Caddy inside!

Getting Started

1. If not already done, install Docker Compose (v2.10+)
2. Run docker compose build --pull --no-cache to build fresh images
3. Run docker compose up --wait to set up and start a fresh Symfony project
4. Open https://localhost in your favorite web browser and accept the auto-generated TLS certificate
5. Run docker compose down --remove-orphans to stop the Docker containers.

Features

• Production, development and CI ready
• Just 1 service by default
• Blazing-fast performance thanks to the worker mode of FrankenPHP
• Installation of extra Docker Compose services with Symfony Flex
• Automatic HTTPS (in dev and prod)
• HTTP/3 and Early Hints support
• Real-time messaging thanks to a built-in Mercure hub
• Vulcain support
• Native XDebug integration
• Super-readable configuration

Enjoy!
