# 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** - **SQLite3** - **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:`. Access the container directly from your terminal to execute unit tests or other commands—all within an isolated environment. > **Note:** Loom Spinner CLI is in early development. For now, only SQLite is supported as the database, but more options are on the way in future updates. # Installation **Requirements:** - Composer - Docker Desktop or Docker Engine To install globally, run: ```shell composer global require loomlabs/loom-spinner-cli ``` # Usage Start Docker, then launch your project environment: ```shell 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:`—you're ready to go! ## Managing Your Environment To stop your containers: ```shell loom spin:stop my-project ``` To start them again: ```shell loom spin:start my-project ``` Loom Spinner can be further customized with a set of simple configuration options.
