How to start a Symfony 7 application with Docker without having PHP locally installed on your machine

• lampset

  1 0 - Python

  Discontinued lampset is a command line script that allows you to setup a LAMP stack on a freshly installed Ubuntu-based virtual machine.

I started using virtualization tools like VirtualBox and Vagrant to create separate virtual development machines for each environment that I needed. This way, I could automatically boot up a virtual machine with PHP7.4+ for projects that needed it, or one with PHP5.6 for the older (legacy) projects. Check out my open source repository lampset on GitHub for an automation script I used to run to do this.

  Docker - the open-source application container engine (by microsoft)

  

Containerization technology especially Docker started gaining widespread adoption, or at least I started to become aware of it. With containerization, the promise was that it was fast and more optimal in terms of resource utilization. Also, because projects could be packaged as containers, it meant that I no longer needed to share virtualmachines between projects, and each project could declare it's dependencies in a Dockerfile checked into source code control (git), saving "future-me" the trouble of figuring out how to run a project six months later.
