Yii2 Fast Simple Advanced App 
Yii2-app is Fast and Ready-to-production advanced project template.
Dockerized, for development- mysql, nginx, php-fpm containers
For you, I downgrade requirement to PHP v5.6. But PHP 7.1 is better! because it is really fast.
Please, enable php intl extension for better work.
Default, the template includes three tiers: frontend, backend, and console, each of which is a separate Yii application.
NOTE: Template is in initial development. Anything may change at any time.
Features
- Gentelella Admin template is beautiful and simple bootstrap, compatible with yii2 assets: yiister/yii2-gentelella, Demo
- Yii2 User is strong and proved user-module with many features: dektrium/yii2-user (login
adminus, passwordadminus) - Frontend and Backend User Controllers are filtered (by
dektrium/yii2-user) - DB cache, but I recommend Redis Cache - it is really fast
- Yii2 queue (DB table
queue), but you can use Redis-queue or other yii2-queue docs - Queue Manager with backend (
/queuemanager/default/index) using ignatenkovnikita/yii2-queuemanager - Log DB Target with backend (
/log/index) - simply view log messages - .htaccess - config for pretty urls (rewrite index.php), may be later add nginx config
- UrlManagerFrontend for backend app (all url rules in file
frontend/config/urls.php, hostInfo incommon/config/params.php) - i18n translations in
common/messageswith config (current only English and Russian, language translation are welcome!) - ContactForm in frontend app is improved: himiklab/yii2-recaptcha-widget,
all email are saved to DB (common/models/EmailFormModel), optionally send message to Viber messenger via bot
(install requirements Bogdaan/viber-bot-php and config, uncomment code in Model) - postcss config (
frontend/web/src/pcss//*.css) - Gii generator:
- added yii2-queue Jobs generator
- yii2 migration generator (from existing table) Insolita/yii2-migrik
- schmunk42/yii2-giiant - really steroid, but in development with bugs
