Deploying a symfony application

Define your target server

Edit /config/properties.ini:

[stage]
  host=192.168.xx.yyy
  port=22
  user=myuser
  dir=/the/project/root

Test your deployment configuration

php symfony project:deploy stage

Preserve the production data

php symfony doctrine:data-dump data/production.yml

I would do it in a successive step, but, deploying, you could upload a different model schema: then, when dumping the data, Doctrine won’t be able to map the data in the database and your model schema.

Deploy

php symfony project:deploy stage --go

Test target server configuration

Build the environments

php symfony doctrine:build --all --and-load --env=test
php symfony doctrine:build --all

Load production data on production DB ( if a migration is needed… migrate! )

php symfony doctrine:data-load data/production.yml

php symfony test:all

Heal the environment

I’m pretty sure something is missing here, hope to see some replies.
