README
Loom Spinner CLI
A streamlined environment management tool for PHP developers.
Loom Spinner makes it easy to launch minimal, thoughtfully pre-configured Docker containers for PHP development; helping you enjoy a fast, consistent, and hassle-free workflow.
Run simple commands from anywhere on your system to manage your environments.
At a Glance
Effortlessly create custom Docker environments for each of your PHP projects. Out of the box, Loom Spinner provides:
- PHP 8.4 (includes XDebug & OpCache)
- Nginx
- MySQL 9.3
- NodeJS 23 (Node, NPM, & NPX)
Your project directory is automatically mounted to the PHP container, and the public directory is served via Nginx at
http://localhost:<nginx-port>. Access the container directly from your terminal to execute unit tests or other
commands, all within an isolated environment.
Installation
Requirements:
- Composer
- Docker Desktop or Docker Engine
To install globally, run:
composer global require cloudbase/loom-spinner
Usage
Start Docker, then launch your project environment:
cd /path/to/my-project loom spin:up my-project .
Check which ports your containers are using via Docker Desktop or by running docker ps.
Once running, your project's public directory is accessible at http://localhost:<nginx-container-port>—you're ready to go!
Managing Your Environment
To stop your containers:
loom spin:stop my-project
To start them again:
loom spin:start my-project
To attach to your PHP container:
loom spin:attach my-project
To remove them completely:
loom spin:down my-project
To list all of your Spinner managed environments:
loom env:list
Loom Spinner can be further customized with a set of simple configuration options.
Happy spinning! 🧵
