stacker

Introduction

Why stacker?

Stacker - This is a local environment for web development with everything you need. What is its benefit?

You do not need to manually configure the web server and add to the hosts, just cloned it and immediately launched it in the browser. It looks so demo
Inside, there is already everything that is needed in 90% of all cases. And if not, we will add it for you : )
For you, there is a super zsh console with autocomplete and everything you need. Video with presentation
There is an autocompletion for Symfony and Laravel commands out of the box. For example, la5 and a double tab, will output a list of commands for which you can “walk” with arrows to select them
It is faster analogs, the same homestead is just a turtle compared to it
There is a video course
Friendly author, in case there are questions or suggestions
Based on Docker. Wherever you can install Docker, you can install Stacker
It is very simple to expand. The process of adding your own images with a couple of lines in docker-compose.yml
Just try it!

Requirements

Install Docker
Install Docker Compose > 1.8.0

Installation

Get a stacker:

$ composer create-project maxlab/stacker 
# OR
$ git clone git@github.com:Maxlab/stacker.git

Run in Stacker directory

# make ./workspace folder and make a symbolic link to your folder with all your projects 
$ mkdir workspace && ln -s /your_path/to_all_your_own_projects ./workspace
# copy .env.dist to .env and change it
$ cp .env.dist .env
$ docker-compose build && docker-compose up -d && docker-compose ps
$ mv ./test ./workspace

Set local DNS server

- Linux
  /etc/resolv.conf
- Mac
  System Settings
- Windows
  Network Adapter Setting

set your local dns server to 127.0.0.1 , to prevent dnsmasq from running, you need to set up the second DNS server. Such as 8.8.8.8 or something else.

Then open http://test.php.dev/ in your browser
Examples

For SSH

Copy your ssh keys in the folder workspace

$ cp -R ~/.ssh ~/www/docker/stacker/workspace

Move your projects

Add your project in workspace folder ./workspace/<customer>/<projectname> (no need to restart, this will work out of the box)
Open http://customer.project.dev/ in your browser (if you do not have dnsmasq, you have to add your hosts file manually)

FAQ

Which settings in the configs for my projects?

Database

You can access the database in your app config use db for mysql and pgsql for postgresql (files will be saved in the mysql directory so it will be saved after destroying or recreating the containers)

# Example for mysql
parameters:
  database_host: mysql
  database_port: 3306
  database_name: sf
  database_user: root
  database_password: root

# Example for pgsql
parameters:
  database_host: pgsql
  database_port: 5433
  database_name: sf
  database_user: postgres
  database_password: postgres
      
# Example for redis
parameters:
  database_host: redis
  database_port: 6379

What external ports are listening images?

It’s easy. For convenience, the external ports of the databases are offset by plus one. For example, MySQL listens to port 3306 + 1 = 3307 and so on…
Check the file docker-compose.yml for more

Xdebug + PhpStorm configuration

I have a lot of the Symfony project, is it possible to make a symbolic link to them?

Yes! It’s much faster and easier, plus no need to move folders from the usual places.
In the directory with your projects, create a folder and copy all the projects from the Symfony code. Now, make a link to your directory project in the directory with the Stacker, remove a directory ./workspace and rename your link to workspace - that’s all! Now all your Symfony projects is available from the browser.

How to contact the any instances Staker in console?

You can do so:

$ /your_path/to_stacker_folder/bin/stacker console

# for ~/.zshrc
$ echo 'export PATH=/your_path/to_stacker_folder/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc
# then restart console and run
$ stacker console

$ stacker console
$ cd to_symfony_folder
$ sf [tab*2] # for sf3 completion OR sf2 for sf2 completion

Laravel5 completion

$ cd to_symfony_folder
$ la5 [tab*2]

$ stacker usage # for list available commands
$ stacker console # for enter to console
