Formatters Drupal 8 Challenge

Drupal Lab (Docker)

This is a simple repo for investigating development workflows, experimenting with backend edits, and general exploration with the framework. It is designed to be quick and easy to spin up a development workflow with the power of Docker.

The master branch is intended to be a running a Drupal 8 Application, with support for a cross-platform Docker environment. The goal is to provide a means for rapid development, testing, and deployment with minimal fuss on Windows, Linux, or Mac.

Getting Started

You must have Docker installed on your local machine, then you can simply run:

docker-compose up

You should wait for the SQL script to complete before the website will be accessable.

Contributing

Pull requests should only be for the purpose of improving the Docker development environment.

Edits to any of the source files (src), theming, and mods should be done in their own feature branch on in a separate repo that simply uses this project as a starting point.

Using The Boilerplate /src

The default install is Drupal 8.7, running on PHP 7.3. The following credentials will log you into the drupal admin:

username: drupal password: guest

This project is designed to allow "swappable" Drupal installs via the src directory. You should utilize the db directory for local development data backups. Backups can be restored via the following command:

docker exec -i <db container name> sh -c 'exec mysql -uroot -proot' < ./db/<backup script>

This default provides a good baseline install from which to rapidly try out new code ideas and deployment strategies. Avoids a lot of hassle of setting up portable development environments with external tools, has better cross platform support (especially Linux), and serves as an easy template for version-controlled projects.
