Symfony API

First steps

Create a free Runway account.
Install the CLI. See the install docs.
Log in:
```
runway login
```
Add an SSH key. See key setup, or use the shortcut:
```
runway local key setup
```

The following describes the steps necessary to deploy a Symfony-based (version 6.x/LTS) API. If you want to skip the project setup, head over to our Github repository to find the code.

Please note:

For an updated version (with 7.x), click here.

Project setup

Create the project using Composer:

$ composer create-project symfony/skeleton:"6.1.*" example-symfony-api
Creating a "symfony/skeleton:6.1.*" project at "./example-symfony-api"
Info from https://repo.packagist.org: #StandWithUkraine
Installing symfony/skeleton (v6.1.99)
...

Initialize a git repository

The next step is to delete .env and create the app on Runway (this also initializes a git repository, if none exists yet):

$ cd example-symfony-api
$ rm .env
$ runway app create
$ git commit -a -m 'my symfony app'
...

DotEnv

The reason why we delete the .env file is because we don’t need them as these settings should be provided by the environment. The next step includes how to achieve this. Besides, runtime secrets should not be committed to version control.

Therefor we disable DotEnv and update the lock:

$ composer config --json extra.runtime.disable_dotenv 'true'
$ composer update --lock
$ git commit -a -m 'Done'

Deployment

Set the necessary environment variables:

$ runway app config set APP_ENV=production
INFO    configuring app "fair-emission"              
configure app fair-emission: done
Name    Value      
APP_ENV production 
$ runway app config set APP_SECRET=YOUR-SUPER-SECRET-HERE
INFO    configuring app "fair-emission"              
configure app fair-emission: done
Name       Value                            
APP_ENV    production                       
APP_SECRET YOUR-SUPER-SECRET-HERE

Deploy to Runway

runway app deploy

Run runway app open to see it live, or check the Runway UI. Check runway app logs if something’s off.
