Drupal 9 Development Environment

This is a lando env with a naked installation of Drupal 9 with configurations ready for development.

It can be used to develop themes or modules.

First Run

Download and install all the required docker images and create the containers

lando start

Download and install all the composer packages set on composer.json

lando composer install

It will also replace the file web/sites/development.services.yml with the default settings, we need to revert back to the development mode settings

git restore web/sites/development.services.yml

After this all the vendor and Drupal core packages should be installed and the server running

Setup Drupal

Configures Drupal to connect to the database with the default credentials and creates the admin user

lando drush site:install --db-url=mysql://drupal9:drupal9@database/drupal9 -y > site-install.txt

Save the admin password inside the .env file

Stop Tracking Settings.php changes

git update-index --skip-worktree web/sites/default/settings.php

To track again

git update-index --no-skip-worktree web/sites/default/settings.php

Start and Stop

Boots the development environment

lando start

Stops just the app containers keeping the lando containers running

lando stop

Stops the app and lando containers

lando poweroff

Add Modules and Themes

Just clone the repo to web/themes/custom/ or web/modules/custom depending if it's a theme or modules

Generate a new theme

If we want to use the starter kit from Drupal

lando php web/core/scripts/drupal generate-theme --name "Website Theme" --path themes/custom website_theme

Purge all the containers, volumes, images and clean lando's cache

lando poweroff && docker system prune -a --volumes && rm -rf ~/.lando/cache
