Symfony

Symfony is the leading PHP framework to create websites and web applications. Built on top of the Symfony Components.

Requirements

  • Set Build Pack to nixpacks
  • Set APP_ENV
  • Set APP_SECRET
  • Set NIXPACKS_PHP_FALLBACK_PATH to /index.php
  • Set NIXPACKS_PHP_ROOT_DIR to /app/public
  • Set COMPOSER_ALLOW_SUPERUSER to 1 (unless you have set up a non-root user)
  • Set Ports Exposes to 80

Database migrations

If you use Doctrine, you can add the following Post-deployment script :

php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate --all-or-nothing --no-interaction

Other components

If your application needs a database or Redis, you can simply create them beforehand in the Coolify dashboard.

You will receive the connection strings which you can use in your application and set them as environment variables:

Terminal window
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://app:[email protected]:5432/app?serverVersion=16&charset=utf8


REDIS_HOST=<REDIS_HOST>
REDIS_PASSWORD=null
REDIS_PORT=6379

Trusted proxy

You might need to configure the trusted proxy :

  • Set the environment variable TRUSTED_PROXIES with the IP of your server
  • Add the following Symfony configuration :
config/packages/framework.yaml
framework:
    trusted_proxies: "%env(TRUSTED_PROXIES)%"
    trusted_headers: ['x-forwarded-for', 'x-forwarded-host', 'x-forwarded-proto', 'x-forwarded-port', 'x-forwarded-prefix']
