It makes launching minimal, pre-configured Docker containers effortless, providing a fast, consistent, and hassle-free workflow for your projects. Run simple commands from anywhere on your system to manage your environments. > This project is built for Linux and has not been fully tested on Windows or MacOS. Full Windows/MacOS support is planned for a future release. At a Glance =========== [](#at-a-glance) Effortlessly create custom Docker environments for each of your PHP projects. A default Loom Spinner environment provides: - **PHP 8.4** (with XDebug & OpCache) - **Nginx** - **MySQL 9.3** - **NodeJS 25** (Node, NPM, & NPX) Your project directory is automatically mounted into the PHP container, and the `public` directory is served via Nginx at: ``` https://{project-name}.app ``` You can access the container directly from your terminal to run tests or other commands in an isolated environment. Installation ============ [](#installation) **Requirements:** - Composer - Docker Desktop or Docker Engine To install globally, run: ``` composer global require cloudbase/loom-spinner ``` > **Optional HTTPS/SSL Support** > > For prettified `https://{project-name}.app` URLs, install `mkcert` before using Loom Spinner. Linux example: ``` sudo apt install mkcert libnss3-tools mkcert -install ``` Quick Start =========== [](#quick-start) Spin up your project and add the hosts entry in a single sequence: ``` cd /path/to/my-project loom spin:up my-project . sudo loom env:hosts:add my-project ``` > โœ… This will create the Docker containers (PHP, Nginx, MySQL) and ensure your system can resolve for clean URLs. Usage ===== [](#usage) Launch a new environment: ``` loom spin:up my-project /path/to/my-project ``` Or from the project directory: ``` cd /path/to/my-project loom spin:up my-project . ``` Hosts Entry ----------- [](#hosts-entry) To access your project via the browser, add an entry to `/etc/hosts`: ``` sudo loom env:hosts:add my-project ``` Database Credentials -------------------- [](#database-credentials) Your default database credentials are: UsernamePasswordrootdockerTo see which port your database container is using, run: ``` loom env:list ``` You can customise your credentials, see the [Configuration](https://github.com/CloudBaseHQ/loom-spinner/wiki/Configuration)section of the documentation for more details.
