Drupal QUICKSTART

A quickstart project for drupal development, using a dockerized development environment. Using this quickstart project, you will be able to:

• build your own theme files using Node.js
• Start your Drupal server using Composer

Dev environment set-up

Starting containers

To start as a running process, so you have full output and can kill the containers whenever you want:

docker-compose up

To run in detached mode:

docker-compose up -d

Building and installing theme

Node.js based themes

If you are working on a Node.js based theme, you can use the spawned node container to compile and build your theme.

docker-compose exec -u node node npm install
docker-compose exec -u node node npm run build

Standard themes

The default set-up used a FortyTwo based theme and subtheme. These are included in the theme-files directory. The deploy_theme.sh script can be edited to copy your required files qnd enabling the theme after your drupal server has started.

Use Composer to build and start your Drupal Site

docker-compose exec web composer install
docker-compose exec web ./vendor/bin/run drupal:site-install

Your site will be available at: http://127.0.0.1:8080/

Exporting and migrating data

The default composer.yml and runner.yml.dist provide the docker/default_content module. This is a command line tool that can be used to export data from one Drupal instance to another.
