Vagrant environment for Symfony2

This project provides a virtual environment for Symfony2 development using Vagrant.

What's in the box?

When you start Vagrant, this environment will provide the following tools that can be useful when developing for Symfony2:

  • Git
  • cURL
  • MySQL
    • Username: root
    • Password: empty
  • SQLite
  • nginx
  • PHP
  • PHP-FPM
  • APC
  • PEAR
  • XDebug
  • RabbitMQ

Additionally, it will create a MySQL database called symfony that a Symfony2 application can connect to without any configuration.

Usage and requirements

Ansible

Ansible is used to provision the virtual machine, so you must have that installed. Follow the installation instructions.

Usage

Installation is as easy as cloning a GitHub project:

$ cd your-symfony-project
$ git clone https://github.com/kleiram/vagrant-symfony.git vagrant

Or, if you're using Git already in your project, you can use it as a submodule:

$ cd your-symfony-project
$ git submodule add https://github.com/kleiram/vagrant-symfony.git vagrant

After the project is added, you can start the environment like this:

$ cd vagrant
$ vagrant up

Starting the VM might take some time, since it will download the entire box and additional applications/library. When the VM is done setting up, point your browser towards http://192.168.33.10 and there you have it: Symfony2.

Note

If you're using Windows, you have to modify the Vagrantfile a little bit to make it all work (since Windows doesn't support NFS). Replace the following lines in the Vagrantfile:

config.vm.synced_folder ".",  "/vagrant", id: "vagrant-root", :nfs => true
config.vm.synced_folder "..", "/var/www", id: "application",  :nfs => true

with:

config.vm.synced_folder ".",  "/vagrant", id: "vagrant-root"
config.vm.synced_folder "..", "/var/www", id: "application"

Troubleshooting

I'm not allowed to access my site?

If you visit your site and you get the following error message:

You are not allowed to access this file. Check app_dev.php for more information.

You have to remove the following files from web/app_dev.php:

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'])
    || isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])
    || !in_array(@$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], array('127.0.0.1', 'fe80::1', '::1'))
) {
    header('HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden');
    exit('You are not allowed to access this file. Check '.basename(__FILE__).' for more information.');
}

Why is my site so slow?

If your site is noticeably slow (and I'm talking hundreds of milliseconds), it's because the caching and logging is taking it's time (NFS synchronization). One way to fix this is by changing the cache folder in the app/AppKernel.php file. At the end of the AppKernel class, add the following methods:

public function getCacheDir()
{
    return '/tmp/symfony/cache/'. $this->environment;
}

public function getLogDir()
{
    return '/tmp/symfony/log/'. $this->environment;
}

This will change the location of the cache and log directories you normally find in the app directory of Symfony to the /tmp/symfony directory. This will speed up your site a lot. The downside is that you won't be able to check the log from your host computer (the computer that's running Vagrant).

To-do

The following things are additions I want to add to the project:

  • Memcached
  • Node.js (with the Bower package)

Feel free to add these components and create a pull request!

Versioning

This project is versioned using Semantic Versioning:

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD",
"SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to
be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.

Software using Semantic Versioning MUST declare a public API. This API could
be declared in the code itself or exist strictly in documentation. However
it is done, it should be precise and comprehensive.

A normal version number MUST take the form X.Y.Z where X, Y, and Z are
integers. X is the major version, Y is the minor version, and Z is the patch
version. Each element MUST increase numerically by increments of one. For
instance: 1.9.0 -> 1.10.0 -> 1.11.0.

When a major version number is incremented, the minor version and patch
version MUST be reset to zero. When a minor version number is incremented,
the patch version MUST be reset to zero. For instance: 1.1.3 -> 2.0.0 and
2.1.7 -> 2.2.0.

A pre-release version number MAY be denoted by appending an arbitrary string
immediately following the patch version and a dash. The string MUST be
comprised of only alphanumerics plus dash [0-9A-Za-z-]. Pre-release versions
satisfy but have a lower precedence than the associated normal version.
Precedence SHOULD be determined by lexicographic ASCII sort order. For
instance: 1.0.0-alpha1 < 1.0.0-beta1 < 1.0.0-beta2 < 1.0.0-rc1 < 1.0.0.

Once a versioned package has been released, the contents of that version
MUST NOT be modified. Any modifications must be released as a new version.

Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything may change
at any time. The public API should not be considered stable.

Version 1.0.0 defines the public API. The way in which the version number
is incremented after this release is dependent on this public API and how
it changes.

Patch version Z (x.y.Z | x > 0) MUST be incremented if only backwards
compatible bug fixes are introduced. A bug fix is defined as an internal
change that fixes incorrect behavior.

Minor version Y (x.Y.z | x > 0) MUST be incremented if new, backwards
compatible functionality is introduced to the public API. It MAY be
incremented if substantial new functionality or improvements are introduced
within the private code. It MAY include patch level changes. Patch version
MUST be reset to 0 when minor version is incremented.

Major version X (X.y.z | X > 0) MUST be incremented if any backwards
incompatible changes are introduced to the public API. It MAY include minor
and patch level changes. Patch and minor version MUST be reset to 0 when
major version is incremented.
