Docksalize - Optimal Docksal based dev environment

Install Docksal

https://docs.docksal.io/getting-started/setup/

Optional: Install Terminus for use with Pantheon

https://pantheon.io/docs/terminus/install

Optional: Setup an alias in your .zshrc / .bash_profile shell:

Quickly get new projects setup with a docksalize shell shortcut: alias docksalize=git clone https://github.com/twfahey1/docksalize.git .docksal

Configuring the docroot

  • If you have your site inside another folder, e.g. web, set that in the docksal.env as the DOCROOT setting. Otherwise, leave it as the default . setting.

Initialize containers.

  • fin up

Helpful container commands

  • fin bash - SSH into the container and run commands from within the CLI container.
  • fin project reset - Deletes and restarts the containers, will wipe out database, but can be helpful for environments that get into buggy states, e.g. switching container images, corrupt database, etc.
  • fin db create [whatever] - Create a new database within the database container. By default it will have one, but in cases of adding secondary database for certain applications
  • fin db import --db=['whatever'] [path_to_db] - Related to above, import a DB dump into a specific DB on the project DB container.

Drupal: Run the appropriate init-site command

  • If you're using Drupal 7, run fin init-site-d7, for D10+, run fin init-site. This copies the appropriate settings.local.php and attempts to get things configured in the settings.php to include the settings.local.php. See the command definitions for more.

Drupal: Running tests

  • For first time setup, run fin test-init. This will copy over the default files from the .docksal/drupal/testing-defaults folder, and update them to match your current Docksal virtual host.
  • There are 2 commands to run testing - test, for functional testing, and test-js, for Javascript based testing. More details on the commands can be found in the command files themselves - .docksal/commands/test and .docksal/commands/test-js. They both function largely the same way, but are configured to use corresponding phpunit.xml files located in .docksal/drupal/testing folder.
  • To ensure proper functionality, the SIMPLETEST_BASE_URL has to be updated to match the Docksal virtual host name. In most cases, this is taken care of when running fin test-init. As part of this command, it will update the appropriate phpunit.xml files automatically. This does a basic find and replace operation via perl, replacing the default web string with the Docksal variable ${VIRTUAL_HOST}.
  • If the command doesn't work for you for some reason, you can manually update the SIMPLETEST_BASE_URL in the included phpunit.xml and phpunit-js.xml, located in .docksal/drupal/testing/. In Docksal, the name of your host matches the name of your folder. So, if you cloned this into a folder called drupalin, your Docksal based URL will be http://drupalin.docksal, and this is what your SIMPLETEST_BASE_URL should be set to.

Setting different versions of PHP

  • The docksal.env file contains some sample definitions of the different pieces of the stack. WEB_IMAGE, DB_IMAGE, and CLI_IMAGE can be modified to use different Docker images from the Docksal repo. The PHP version is determined from the CLI_IMAGE. You can modify the value to a new version, and run fin up to refresh the containers. Docksal will detect the changes, download the new Docker image if it doesn't exist in your cache, and reload your container running the new PHP version. So for example, to run on PHP 7.3, you could update the CLI_IMAGE to be CLI_IMAGE='docksal/cli:2.6-php7.3', and run fin up, and now the CLI container is running on PHP 7.3. And to clarify, the CLI container is determining what version of PHP that Drupal will be using, since Drupal is in essence running on this container, in orchestration with the WEB_IMAGE and DB_IMAGE containers, which are networked together automatically behind the scenes. See more information about this from the Docksal site.

Overriding PHP / MySQL settings

  • It's possible to override PHP settings as needed. Some examples are included in the example-php-mysql-overrides folder.
  • Docksal will look for PHP overrides in .docksal/etc/php - for more in depth information, see the Docksal documentation
  • Docksal will look for MySQL overrides in .docksal/etc/mysql - for more in depth information, see the Docksal documentation

XDebug

This should provide "out of the box" xdebugging ability Test steps:

  • Add XDEBUG_ENABLED=1 to your docksal-local.env, and do a fin up to reload the containers with XDebug enabled. If you haven't already setup a php.ini, add one, or update /etc/php/php.ini settings with desired XDebug preferences (see .docksal/example-php-mysql-overrides/etc/php/php.ini), and do a fin project restart to apply the new settings. NOTE: Having XDEBUG_ENABLED=1 will slow down performance, so consider setting back to 0 and running fin up to unload it if not actively using.
  • Download VSCode debug extension
  • Go to the "debug" tab and start debugging: image
  • When you refresh the site in a spot where that code executes, it should jump you into vscode image

Pantheon

Configure environment variables

  • In docksal.env, set PROJECT_NAME to establish the Pantheon project name which is used in scripted terminus commands, and PANTHEON_SITE_ENV for the preferred environment to sync from when using applicable commands.

Syncing from Pantheon

  • Use fin rsync to sync files from the PANTHEON_SITE_ENV defined.
  • Use fin sync-db to sync DB from the PANTHEON_SITE_ENV defined.
