Symfony Ratelimited App

This repository is a proof of concept of a rate limiting service written using Symfony framework and in memory data saving with redis.

Docker configuration is based upon Symfony's officially endorsed repository. The aforementioned setup did not include a Redis service, which has been added by me.

Getting Started (directly from original symfony-docker repo)

1. If not already done, install Docker Compose
2. Run docker-compose build --pull --no-cache to build fresh images (this can take some time, so grab a cup of coffee...)
3. Run docker-compose up (the logs will be displayed in the current shell)
4. Open https://localhost in your favorite web browser and accept the auto-generated TLS certificate
5. Run docker-compose down --remove-orphans to stop the Docker containers.

Requirements outline

• Use of a PHP framework (symfony) and a storage system (redis)
• Creation of a JSON endpoint that can handle both POST and GET requests with different results
• Implementation from scratch of an IP based rate limiting service
• limits should be configurable (by default 3 POST and 5 GET every 60 seconds)

Troubleshooting

If docker-compose up up fails because another service is using port 80 (such as Apache, for example), run export HTTP_PORT=999 to force caddy to use another port instead of the default one.
