Getting Started

Requirements

Before you get started with this recipe we assume that you have:

1. Installed Lando and gotten familiar with its basics
2. Initialized a Landofile for your codebase for use with this recipe
3. Read about the various services, tooling, events and routing Lando offers.

Quick Start

Try out the relevant commands below to spin up a new Landoified vanilla Drupal site.

DRUPAL 11

# Initialize a drupal11 recipe
mkdir my-first-drupal11-app \
  && cd my-first-drupal11-app \
  && lando init \
    --source cwd \
    --recipe drupal11 \
    --webroot web \
    --name my-first-drupal11-app

# Start the environment
lando start
    
# Create latest drupal11 project via composer
lando composer create-project drupal/recommended-project:11.x tmp && cp -r tmp/. . && rm -rf tmp

# Composer can timeout on install for some machines, if that happens, run the following command and then re-run the previous lando composer command:
# lando composer config --global process-timeout 2000

# Install a site local drush
lando composer require drush/drush

# Install drupal
lando drush site:install --db-url=mysql://drupal11:drupal11@database/drupal11 -y

# List information about this app
lando info

DRUPAL 10

# Initialize a drupal10 recipe
mkdir my-first-drupal10-app \
  && cd my-first-drupal10-app \
  && lando init \
    --source cwd \
    --recipe drupal10 \
    --webroot web \
    --name my-first-drupal10-app
    
# Create latest drupal10 project via composer
lando composer create-project drupal/recommended-project:10.x tmp && cp -r tmp/. . && rm -rf tmp

# Composer can timeout on install for some machines, if that happens, run the following command and then re-run the previous lando composer command:
# lando composer config --global process-timeout 2000

# Start it up
lando start

# Install a site local drush
lando composer require drush/drush

# Install drupal
lando drush site:install --db-url=mysql://drupal10:drupal10@database/drupal10 -y

# List information about this app
lando info

DRUPAL 9

# Initialize a drupal9 recipe
mkdir my-first-drupal9-app \
  && cd my-first-drupal9-app \
  && lando init \
    --source cwd \
    --recipe drupal9 \
    --webroot web \
    --name my-first-drupal9-app
    
# Create latest drupal9 project via composer
lando composer create-project drupal/recommended-project:9.x tmp && cp -r tmp/. . && rm -rf tmp

# Composer can timeout on install for some machines, if that happens, run the following command and then re-run the previous lando composer command:
# lando composer config --global process-timeout 2000

# Start it up
lando start

# Install a site local drush
lando composer require drush/drush

# Install drupal
lando drush site:install --db-url=mysql://drupal9:drupal9@database/drupal9 -y

# List information about this app
lando info

Or Landoify an existing Drupal site:

cd /path/to/my/repo
lando init --source cwd --recipe drupal9
