Usage

An example of usage can be found at example.

1. Create a Dockerfile with FROM weahead/drupal:<tag>. Where tag is a version number like 7.51.0.

2. Make sure you add VOLUME /var/www/html to the end of your Dockerfile.

3. Create a folder named app next to Dockerfile.

4. Drupal packages, like themes and modules, are installed with Composer. Create a file named composer.json at app/composer.json and specify your requirements there.

   See example/app/composer.json for example content.

   More information can be found in Drupals Community Documentation.

5. Optionally, place a settings.php file at app/settings.php. It will be installed in the correct place inside the container at build time. Skip this step if you plan on running the Drupal installation steps rather than importing an existing installation.

6. Place custom themes to develop in folder app/themes.

7. Place custom modules to develop in folder app/modules.

   This gives you a folder structure like this:

   .
   ├── Dockerfile
   ├── app
   │   ├── composer.json
   │   ├── settings.php
   │   ├── modules
   │   │   ├── custom-module1
   │   │   ├── custom-module2
   │   │   └── ...
   │   └── themes
   │       ├── custom-theme
   │       └── ...
   └── ...
   

8. Build it with docker build -t <name>:<tag> .

S6 supervision

To use additional services, like using node to watch files and compile on save, S6 supervision can be used. More information on how to use S6 can be found in their documentation.

The recommended way is to use COPY root / in a descendant Dockerfile with the directory structure found in example/root.
