Using API Platform with Docker

API Platform projects can be run through Docker. A Docker compose configuration, including a fully working LAMP stack, is shipped with the API Platform distribution.

# Services

The Docker Compose configuration comes with several ready-to-use services by default:

Name	Description	Port(s)
app	The application with PHP and PHP-FPM 7.1, the latest Composer	N/A
db	A database provided by MySQL 5.7	N/A
nginx	An HTTP server provided by Nginx 1.11	8080
varnish	An HTTP cache provided by Varnish 4.1	80

# Installation

To install it, run the following commands (Docker must be installed on your system):

$ docker-compose up -d # Download, build and run Docker images
$ docker-compose exec app bin/console doctrine:schema:create # Create the MySQL schema

Your project will be accessible in two different ways:

Through the HTTP cache (Varnish): http://localhost
Through the HTTP server directly (Nginx) to facilitate debugging: http://localhost:8080
