The quickest way to add a local development environment to your Drupal project!
Get started:
composer require --dev geerlingguy/drupal-vm-docker
Run this command inside the directory of a Drupal project that is built using Composer, and it will create a Docker Compose file which will run a local instance of Drupal VM.
Make sure you have Docker CE installed and running, then run docker-compose up -d. After a minute or two, you should be able to access your Drupal site at http://localhost/.
To install Drupal, the default Drupal VM database name, username, and password are all
drupal.
When you're finished developing, run the command:
docker-compose stop
And once you're ready to develop again, run:
docker-compose start
If you want to completely clear out the local environment (e.g. to start over or if you're finished with a project), run:
docker-compose down
The Docker Compose file should be updated automatically any time you update to a newer version of this plugin. However, you can also manually force the file to be updated by running:
composer drupal-vm-docker-update
You should then tell Docker to restart anything that needs to be restarted with docker-compose up -d.

Jeff Geerling created the Drupal VM Docker Composer Plugin in 2018 for a more efficient Drupal site and core/contrib development workflow.
