Deploying to fortrabbit
=======================

This step-by-step cookbook describes how to deploy a Symfony web application to
`fortrabbit`_. You can read more about using Symfony with fortrabbit on the
official fortrabbit `Symfony install guide`_.

Setting up fortrabbit
---------------------

Before getting started, you should have done a few things on the fortrabbit side:

it's more like "on the other side of the river"


* `Sign up`_.
* Add an SSH key to your Account (to deploy via Git)

Preparing your Application
--------------------------

You don't need to change any code to deploy a Symfony application to fortrabbit.
But it requires some minor tweaks to its configuration.

Configure Logging
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Per default Symfony logs to a file. Modify the ``app/config/config_prod.yml`` file
to redirect it to :phpfunction:`error_log`:

.. configuration-block::

.. code-block:: yaml

# app/config/config_prod.yml
monolog:
# ...
handlers:
nested:
type: error_log

.. code-block:: xml

<!-- app/config/config_prod.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:monolog="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd
http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog
http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog/monolog-1.0.xsd">

<monolog:config>
<!-- ... -->
<monolog:handler
name="nested"
type="error_log"
/>
</monolog:config>
</container>

.. code-block:: php

// app/config/config_prod.php
$container->loadFromExtension('monolog', array(
// ...
'handlers' => array(
'nested' => array(
'type' => 'error_log',
),
),
));

Configuring Database Access & Session Handler
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can use the fortrabbit App Secrets to attain your database credentials.
Create the file ``app/config_prod_secrets.php`` with the following contents::

<?php
// Get the path to the secrects.json file
if (!$secrets = getenv("APP_SECRETS")) {
return;
}

// Read the file and decode json to an array
$secrets = json_decode(file_get_contents($secrets), true);

// Set database parameters to the container
if (isset($secrets['MYSQL'])) {

$container->setParameter('database_driver', 'pdo_mysql');
$container->setParameter('database_host', $secrets['MYSQL']['HOST']);
$container->setParameter('database_name', $secrets['MYSQL']['DATABASE']);
$container->setParameter('database_user', $secrets['MYSQL']['USER']);
$container->setParameter('database_password', $secrets['MYSQL']['PASSWORD']);
}

// Check if the Memcache component is present
if (isset($secrets['MEMCACHE'])) {

$memcache = $secrets['MEMCACHE'];
$handlers = [];

foreach (range(1, $memcache['COUNT']) as $num) {
$handlers [] = $memcache['HOST' . $num] . ':' . $memcache['PORT' . $num];
}

// Apply ini settings
ini_set('session.save_handler', 'memcached');
ini_set('session.save_path', implode(',', $handlers));

if ("2" === $memcache['COUNT']) {
ini_set('memcached.sess_number_of_replicas', 1);
ini_set('memcached.sess_consistent_hash', 1);
ini_set('memcached.sess_binary', 1);
}
}

Make sure this file is listed in your *imports*:

.. configuration-block::

.. code-block:: yaml

# app/config/config_prod.yml
imports:
- { resource: config.yml }
- { resource: config_prod_secrets.php }

# ..
framework:
session:
# set handler_id to null to use default session handler from php.ini (memcached)
handler_id: ~
# ..

.. code-block:: xml

<!-- app/config/config_prod.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"

http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony/symfony-1.0.xsd">

<imports>
<import resource="config.xml" />
<import resource="config_prod_secrets.php" />
</imports>

<!-- .. -->
<framework:config>
<!-- .. -->
<framework:session save_path="null" />
</framework:config>
</container>

.. code-block:: php

// app/config/config_prod.php
$loader->import('config/config.php');
$loader->import('config_prod_secrets.php');

$container->loadFromExtension('framework', array(
'session' => array(
'handler_id' => null,
),
));

// ...

Configuring the Environment in the Dashboard
--------------------------------------------

PHP Settings
~~~~~~~~~~~~

The PHP version and enabled extensions are configuable under the PHP settings
of your App within the fortrabbit Dashboard.

Environment Variables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Set the ``SYMFONY_ENV`` environment variable to ``prod`` to make sure the right
config files get loaded. ENV vars are configuable in fortrabbit Dashboard as well.

Document Root
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The document root is configuable for every custom domain you setup for your App.
The default is ``/htdocs``, but for Symfony you probably want to change it to
``/htdocs/web``. You also do so in the fortrabbit Dashboard under ``Domain`` settings.

Deploying to fortrabbit
-----------------------

It is assumed that your codebase is under version-control with Git and dependencies
are managed with Composer (locally).

Every time you push to fortrabbit composer install runs before your code gets
deployed. To finetune the deployment behavior put a `fortrabbit.yml`_. deployment
file (optional) in the project root.

Add fortrabbit as a (additional) Git remote and add your configuration changes.

.. code-block:: bash

$ git remote add fortrabbit git@deploy.eu2.frbit.com:your-app.git
$ git add composer.json composer.lock
$ git add app/config/config_prod_secrets.php

Commit and push

.. code-block:: bash

$ git commit -m 'fortrabbit config'
$ git push fortrabbit master -u

.. note::

Replace your-app with the name of your fortrabbit App.

.. code-block:: bash

.. note::

The first ``git push`` takes much longer as all composer dependencies get
downloaded. All subsequent deploys are done within seconds.

That's it! Your application is being deployed on fortrabbit. More information
about `database migrations and tunneling`_ can be found in the fortrabbit
documentation.
