You can find the step-by-step deployment guide [here](https://hostman.com/docs/app-platform/backend-apps/).

Hostman uses the following environment when building a Symfony application:

-   PHP: 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, or 8.5, depending on the version you chose when creating the app
-   Composer
-   Symfony CLI (installed automatically)

The default start command is:

```shell
symfony server:start
```

Make sure that:

-   Your project has the `symfony.lock` file.
-   Environment variables and `.env` files are properly configured.
