Setup instructions

Step #1: Docksal environment setup

This is a one time setup - skip this if you already have a working Docksal environment.

Follow Docksal environment setup instructions

Step #2: Project setup

  1. Clone this repo into your Projects directory

    git clone https://github.com/docksal/drupal8.git
cd drupal8

  2. Initialize the site

    This will initialize local settings and install the site via drush

    fin init

  3. On Windows add 192.168.64.100 drupal8.docksal to your hosts file

  4. Point your browser to

    http://drupal8.docksal

When the automated install is complete the command line output will display the admin username and password.

More automation with 'fin init'

Site provisioning can be automated using fin init, which calls the shell script in .docksal/commands/init.
This script is meant to be modified per project. The one in this repo will give you a good example of advanced init script.

Some common tasks that can be handled by the init script:

  • initialize local settings files for Docker Compose, Drupal, Behat, etc.
  • import DB or perform a site install
  • compile Sass
  • run DB updates, revert features, clear caches, etc.
  • enable/disable modules, update variables values
