Added the document to Medium and expanded it a bit with more configuration examples:
After a lot of headace and sturggle i went back to what i trust. no more Laravelt Valet or Valet-plus or any other wrappers and workarounds. Sure a few things like enabling and disabling Xdebug is a tad bit more work. but its matter of seconds.
What will we be installing
- Nginx
- [email protected] [email protected] and [email protected] next to each other
- [email protected]
- Redis
- Xdebug
- Elasticsearch 2.4 5.8 and 6.4 next to each other without docker or other bullshit
I added to configuration files underneath that solves the Max processes and Max files issues existing on both Mac OS X Catalina and Mac OS X Mojave. We need to configure these settings simply my upping the ulimit in your terminal. But i think its much easier to add a launchagent that will be applied on every reboot.
Add the files limit.maxproc.plist and limit.maxfiles.plist to the /Library/LaunchDaemons/ directory. and then load them in to your system
sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/limit.maxproc.plist
sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/limit.maxfiles.plist
Clean all your brew services you don't need. remove old php version, nginx, redis
brew services list
to list all your services, stop all php nginx, redis, optionally apache if its running.
brew services uninstall <package name>
Sometimes you get the message its KEG-Only and you need to run command to remove package. for examples:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]
We are going to install all needed php version, in this case 7.1 7.2, 7.3 and optionally if you want the new [email protected]
brew install [email protected]
brew install [email protected]
brew install [email protected]
We do not start the packages yet because we are first going ot change a few files before we do this.
Since we want to run php 7.1 through 7.3 next to each other we need to be sure they don't conflict.
Change the following files: /usr/local/etc/php/"PHP_VERSION"/php-fpm.d/www.conf
user = <your mac user>
group = staff
for fastCGI proxy we setup different ports for each php version for [email protected] for example we use:
listen = 127.0.0.1:9071
for 7.2 we use
listen = 127.0.0.1:9072
also do this for 7.3 and 7.4 if needed. for performance also change the following
pm = dynamic
pm.max_children = 96
pm.start_servers = 8
pm.min_spare_servers = 4
pm.max_spare_servers = 16
pm.max_requests = 16384
Then we continue on to the php.ini files.
Change the following files: /usr/local/etc/php/"PHP_VERSION"/php.ini
And change the following lines
max_execution_time = 600
max_input_time = -1
max_input_vars = 50000
memory_limit = 1024M
upload_max_filesize = 64M
[opcache]
opcache.enable=1
opcache.enable_cli=0
opcache.memory_consumption=256
opcache.interned_strings_buffer=12
opcache.max_accelerated_files=65000
opcache.validate_timestamps=0
opcache.fast_shutdown=1
Install Nginx via brew
brew install nginx
Go to your nginx configuration file /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf and set the following configuration:
user <your mac user> staff;
worker_processes auto;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile on;
#tcp_nopush on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
gzip on;
gzip_comp_level 5;
gzip_min_length 256;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_vary on;
gzip_types
application/atom+xml
application/javascript
application/json
application/rss+xml
application/vnd.ms-fontobject
application/x-font-ttf
application/x-web-app-manifest+json
application/xhtml+xml
application/xml
font/opentype
image/svg+xml
image/x-icon
text/css
text/plain
text/x-component;
upstream fastcgi_backend {
server 127.0.0.1:9071;
}
include servers/*;
}
In this case we use server 127.0.0.1:9071; so this means we are using php 7.1. Change to 9072 or 9073 accordingly. You can also specify this in the specific server configuration to use php 7.1 on one and 7.2 on the other.
As you can see we include all files in servers. This is the place where we configure the different sites.
inside /usr/local/etc/nginx/servers add a new file for your local development location for example magento2.test
I personally use a "sites" folder inside my users root directory. Create a folder for your magento2 install and add the following lines to the magento2.test file.
You can add multiple files for multiple sites.
server {
listen 80;
server_name magento2.test;
set $MAGE_ROOT /Users/YOUR_MAC_USER/sites/magento2;
include /Users/YOUR_MAC_USER/sites/magento2/nginx.conf.sample;
}
Install [email protected] via homebrew
brew install [email protected]
Then open the my.cnf file from the following directoy /System/Volumes/Data/usr/local/etc/my.cnf It's possible that its not there. then you can create this file.
And add the following lines:
[client]
user=root
password=root
host=localhost
[mysqld]
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
sql_mode="NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"
innodb_file_per_table=OFF
open_files_limit=999999
local_infile=ON
secure_file_priv=""
max_allowed_packet=1073741824
max_connections=100000
key_buffer_size=2G
innodb_buffer_pool_size=12G
query_cache_size=67108864
query_cache_type=1
query_cache_limit=4194304
table_open_cache=4096
innodb_buffer_pool_instances=24
innodb_sort_buffer_size=2G
sort_buffer_size=1G
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=0
innodb_log_file_size=3G
interactive_timeout=3600
max_connect_errors=1000000
thread_cache_size=4096
[mysqld_safe]
open_files_limit=999999
Then restart the service
brew services restart [email protected]
After this you can locally just run mysql command without username and password to easily login.
for Magento 2 development it's smart to have Redis up and running
brew install redis
brew services start redis
To install xdebug we need to be sure we use pecl from the specific and correct version of PHP. Run the following command replacing the version number for your needed php version.
/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/pecl install xdebug
This will automatically add and enable xdebug, this is something we do not want due to performance issues it can cause i like to be able to enable and disable xdebug only when i needed.
Remove the following files from php.ini:
zend_extension="xdebug.so"
Add a xdebug.ini file to the following directories: /usr/local/etc/php/"PHP_VERSION"/conf.d
and add the following lines of code.
zend_extension="xdebug.so"
[xdebug]
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.default_enable=1
xdebug.remote_autostart=1
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM
Now this is automatically read by php.ini.
To make a command to enable and disable xdebug with just one command add this to your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc
After adding this be sure to reload by restarting your terminal or do source ~/.bash_profile or source ~/.zshrc
alias xdebugoff="mv /usr/local/etc/php/7.1/conf.d/xdebug.ini /usr/local/etc/php/7.1/conf.d/xdebug.ini.bk || mv /usr/local/etc/php/7.2/conf.d/xdebug.ini /usr/local/etc/php/7.2/conf.d/xdebug.ini.bk || mv /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/conf.d/xdebug.ini /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/conf.d/xdebug.ini.bk"
alias xdebugon="mv /usr/local/etc/php/7.1/conf.d/xdebug.ini.bk /usr/local/etc/php/7.1/conf.d/xdebug.ini || mv /usr/local/etc/php/7.2/conf.d/xdebug.ini.bk /usr/local/etc/php/7.2/conf.d/xdebug.ini || mv /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/conf.d/xdebug.ini.bk /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/conf.d/xdebug.ini"
If your xdebug is already off or on you will get a warning that the file does not exist, this is o.k.
I'm not a fan of running Elasticsearch via homebrew or docker. The quickest and easiest and also the most performance friendly solution is. Nothing worst than a elasticsearch instance running continiously on the background of your mac eating system resources.
First install java
brew cask install homebrew/cask-versions/adoptopenjdk8
Download the needed Elasticsearch version from the past-releases page https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases
I personally have a /etc/ directory inside my root directoy ~/etc i made a folder elasticsearch and a folder for each version.
extract the files from the zip or tar you just downloaded and add them to your elasticsearch directory.
i currently have ~/etc/elasticsearch/2.4 the only this i have to do is open a terminal window and run ~/etc/elasticsearch/2.4/bin/elasticsearch wait 2 sec till it starts up and elastic search is running untill i quit the terminal window.
To let it function with Magento2. you also need to install the icu and phonetic package
Go to your elasticsearch folder and run
bin/elasticsearch-plugin install analysis-phonetic
bin/elasticsearch-plugin install analysis-icu
There are many solutions like dnsmasq or ngrok. but the easiest is just setting up
sudo vim /etc/hosts
or
sudo nano /etc/hosts
to change the host file under super user rights. and then add for example
127.0.0.1 magento2.test
The easiest is to use mkcert tool.
https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert
brew install mkcert
to install the mkcert package on your machine. Then make the root certificate with
mkcert -install
Then create a directory to store you certicates.
I personally made a ~/.ssl directory. Then cd into that directory and run the following command
mkcert domain.test
with of course replacing the domain for your test domain. You can also do multiple in one certificate.
mkcert domain1.test domain2.test domain3.test
This will result in two file in your directoy. A domain.test+3.pem for example. and a domain.test+3-key.pem.
The files are needed for your server configuration. If you want one certificate for all domains you can also do
mkcert *.local.test
for example be sure to add that to your hostfile. but then you have a wildcard for all. a *.test is not supported by many browsers.
A server configuration should look like this:
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name projectname.local.test;
ssl_certificate /Users/kayintveen/.ssl/projectname.test+3.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /Users/kayintveen/.ssl/projectname.test+3-key.pem;
set $MAGE_ROOT /Users/kayintveen/sites/projectname;
include /Users/kayintveen/sites/projectname/nginx.conf.sample;
}
Ok which was this: I did that
I added to configuration files underneath that solves the Max processes and Max files issues existing on both Mac OS X Catalina and Mac OS X Mojave. We need to configure these settings simply my upping the ulimit in your terminal. But i think its much easier to add a launchagent that will be applied on every reboot.
Add the files limit.maxproc.plist and limit.maxfiles.plist to the /Library/LaunchDaemons/ directory. and then load them in to your system
sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/limit.maxproc.plist
sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/limit.maxfiles.plist
