I assume you have a basic Knowledge of Docker, PHP and XDebug.Some things might work a little different in other Operating Systems.

This was tested on an Ubuntu 18.04 machine with PHPStorm 2018.1.4 and latest versions of Docker and Docker Compose.It will guide you to step by step through the process of installing and configuring Xdebug and PHPStorm with a Dockerized Symfony 4 application. Thats why I decided to write this article. I couldn’t find a single guide that have all the steps from start to finish. And in case of getting Xdebug to work, its not an easy task. Also some things that were very easy in a normal development environment running locally, like debugging your application from your IDE, now requires some extra configuration. There is an extra complexity of maintaining all the Docker stuff. Docker make it such much easier, faster and consistent.īut everything comes with a price. I still remember being like the first 3 days when I joined my current company, configuring the project and all the related libraries and tools. These advantages are even greater when working on a team or enterprise context. Thanks to it, it is really easy for everyone to run a complex application with a single command, without having to worry about the inner details like dependencies. Docker has changed dramatically the way we develop applications.
