Steps and Guide to Quickly Install Symfony Framework with Docker
Symfony is a popular PHP framework that is widely used to develop modern web applications. For developers, quickly deploying and configuring the Symfony environment is an important task. Using Docker to install Symfony can greatly simplify the process. This article will provide you with a detailed step-by-step guide.

1. Installing Docker
   First, make sure you have Docker installed on your local machine. If it has not been installed, you can visit the Docker official website (https://www.docker.com/) to download and install the latest version of Docker according to your operating system.
2. Creating a Docker image
   The Symfony framework requires the support of PHP and a web server (such as Nginx or Apache). To create a Docker image that contains these components, you can build from a base image.

Create a file called Dockerfile and define your image in it:

# 使用官方的PHP镜像作为基础
FROM php:7.4-fpm

# 安装Symfony所需的依赖包
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y 
        git 
        libicu-dev 
        zip 
        unzip

# 安装Symfony命令行工具
RUN curl -sS https://get.symfony.com/cli/installer | bash && 
        mv /root/.symfony/bin/symfony /usr/local/bin/

# 安装PHP扩展
RUN docker-php-ext-configure intl && 
        docker-php-ext-install intl

# 设置工作目录
WORKDIR /var/www/symfony

# 安装Composer
COPY --from=composer /usr/bin/composer /usr/bin/composer

# 复制Symfony项目到工作目录
COPY . .

# 安装依赖包
RUN composer install

# 暴露Web服务器端口
EXPOSE 80

# 运行Symfony应用
CMD ["symfony", "server:start"]

In this Dockerfile, we first use the official PHP image as a base. Then install the dependency packages required by Symfony, including ICU, git, zip and unzip. Next, we install the Symfony command line tools and PHP extension.

Then, we set the working directory to /var/www/symfony and copy the Symfony project to the working directory. Then, we use Composer to install the dependency packages required for the Symfony project. Finally, we expose the web server port and run the Symfony application.

3. Build Docker Image
   Navigate in the terminal to the directory containing the Dockerfile and run the following command to build the Docker image:

docker build -t symfony-app .

This will build a Docker image based on the Dockerfile An image named symfony-app. Make sure no errors occur during the build process.

4. Run Symfony Application
   Now you can run the Symfony application using the following command:

docker run -p 80:80 symfony-app

This will run Symfony on port 80 of your local machine app.

5. Accessing the Symfony Application
   Open your favorite web browser and enter http://localhost in the address bar. If all goes well, you will see Symfony's welcome page indicating that you have successfully installed and configured the Symfony framework.

Now you can start developing and deploying Symfony applications. Remember to make sure your images and containers are up to date before running your Symfony application. You can use the following command to update local images and containers:

docker pull symfony-app
docker stop <container_id>
docker rm <container_id>
docker run -p 80:80 symfony-app

Summary
By using Docker to install the Symfony framework, you can easily create and manage a Symfony environment. Using the above steps and guides, you will be able to quickly set up a reliable Symfony development environment and focus on developing excellent web applications. Have fun using Symfony!
