Use this Docker compose file to spin up local environment for Drupal with a native Docker app on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
Docker4Drupal is designed to be used for local development, if you're looking for a dev/staging/production solution check out Wodby. Use Wodby to deploy container-based infrastructure consistent with Docker4Drupal to any server.
The Drupal bundle consist of the following containers:
| Container | Service name | Image | Public Port | Enabled by default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nginx | nginx | wodby/drupal-nginx | 8000 | ✓ |
| PHP 7 / 5.6 | php | wodby/drupal-php | ✓ | |
| MariaDB | mariadb | wodby/drupal-mariadb | ✓ | |
| phpMyAdmin | pma | phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin | 8001 | ✓ |
| Mailhog | mailhog | mailhog/mailhog | 8002 | ✓ |
| Redis | redis | redis/redis | ||
| Memcached | memcached | _/memcached | ||
| Solr | solr | _/solr | 8003 | |
| Varnish | varnish | wodby/drupal-varnish | 8004 |
PHP, Nginx, MariaDB and Varnish configs are optimized to be used with Drupal. We regularly update this bundle with performance improvements, bug fixes and newer version of Nginx/PHP/MariaDB.
Feel free to adjust volumes and ports in the compose file for your convenience.
Supported Drupal versions: 7 and 8
Supported PHP versions: 7.x and 5.6.x.
1. Install docker for Linux, Mac OS X or Windows. For Mac and Windows make sure you're installing native docker app version 1.12, not docker toolbox.
For Linux additionally install docker compose
2. Download the compose file from this repository and put it to your Drupal project codebase (you might want to add docker-compose.yml to .gitignore).
3. Since containers do not have a permanent storage, directories from the host machine (volumes) should be mounted: one with code of your Drupal project and another with database files.
By default, the directory with the compose file (volume ./) will be mounted to PHP container (assuming it's your codebase directory). Additionally docker-runtime directory will be created to store files for mariadb and, optionally, solr containers. Do not forget to add docker-runtime to your .gitignore file.
Linux only: fix permissions for your files directory with:
$ sudo chgrp -R 82 sites/default/files
$ sudo chmod -R 775 sites/default/files4. Choose Drupal version by modifying the following environment variable (could be 7 or 8) in the compose file:
DRUPAL_VERSION: 85. Choose PHP version by modifying the name of the image:
image: wodby/drupal-php:7.0 # Allowed: 7.0, 5.66. Update database credentials in your settings.php file:
database: drupal
username: drupal
password: drupal
host: mariadb
7. If you want to import your database, uncomment the following line in the compose file:
# - ./docker-runtime/mariadb-init:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d # Place init .sql file(s) hereCreate the volume directory ./docker-runtime/mariadb-init in the same directory as the compose file and put there your SQL file(s). All SQL files will be automatically imported once MariaDB container has started.
8. If you need to deploy one of the optional containers (Redis, Memcached, Apache Solr) uncomment the corresponding lines in the compose file.
9. Now, let's run the compose file. It will download the images and run the containers:
$ docker-compose up -d10. Make sure all containers are running by executing:
$ docker-compose ps11. That's it! You drupal website should be up and running at http://localhost:8000.
You can connect to any container by executing the following command:
$ docker-compose exec php shReplace php with the name of your service (e.g. mariadb, nginx, etc).
Nginx is being used as a web server. Nginx is pre-configured to be used with Drupal 7 and 8.
PHP is used with Nginx via PHP-FPM. Currently PHP version 5.6 and 7 are provided. Check out the instructions (step 5) to learn how to switch the version.
PHP container has installed drush. When running drush make sure to open the shell as user 82 (www-data) to avoid access problems in the web server, which is running as user 82, too:
$ docker-compose exec --user 82 php drushAlso, you can use preconfigured drush alias @dev:
$ docker-compose exec --user 82 php drush @devPHP container has installed composer. Example:
$ docker-compose exec --user 82 php composer updatePHP container has installed drupal console. Example:
$ docker-compose exec --user 82 php drupal listIf you want to use xdebug, enable the following option in the compose file:
PHP_XDEBUG_ENABLED: 0 # Set 1 to enable.See the known issue with Xdebug in Mac OS.
Many configuration options can be passed as flags without adjusting a cnf file. See example in the compose file:
# command: --character-set-server=utf8mb4 --collation-server=utf8mb4_unicode_ciCheck out the instructions (step 7) to learn how to import your existing database.
Exporting all databases:
docker-compose exec mariadb sh -c 'exec mysqldump --all-databases -uroot -p"root-password"' > databases.sqlExporting a specific database:
docker-compose exec mariadb sh -c 'exec mysqldump -uroot -p"root-password" my-db' > my-db.sqlTo spin up a container with Redis cache and use it as a default cache storage follow these steps:
- Uncomment lines with redis service definition in the compose file.
- Download and install redis module
- Add the following lines to the settings.php file:
$conf['redis_client_host'] = 'redis';
$conf['redis_client_interface'] = 'PhpRedis';
$conf['lock_inc'] = $contrib_path . '/redis/redis.lock.inc';
$conf['path_inc'] = $contrib_path . '/redis/redis.path.inc';
$conf['cache_backends'][] = 'sites/all/modules/redis/redis.autoload.inc';
$conf['cache_default_class'] = 'Redis_Cache';
$conf['cache_class_cache_form'] = 'DrupalDatabaseCache';To spin up a container with Memcached and use it as a default cache storage follow these steps:
- Uncomment lines with memcached service definition in the compose file.
- Download and install memcache module
- Add the following lines to the settings.php file:
$conf['cache_backends'][] = 'sites/all/modules/memcache/memcache.inc';
$conf['lock_inc'] = 'sites/all/modules/memcache/memcache-lock.inc';
$conf['memcache_stampede_protection'] = TRUE;
$conf['cache_default_class'] = 'MemCacheDrupal';
$conf['cache_class_cache_form'] = 'DrupalDatabaseCache';
$conf['memcache_servers'] = array('memcached:11211' => 'default');To spin up a container with the Memcached Admin User interface uncomment to memcached-admin service definition. To get started visit http://localhost:8006/index.php
By default, container with mailhog included in the bundle. It will catch all email sent from the PHP container. You can view emails by visiting its admin UI on localhost:8002.
By default, container with phpMyAdmin included in the bundle. You can access it by localhost:8001
To spin up a container with Apache Solr search engine uncomment lines with solr service definition in the compose file. Use volume directory ./docker-runtime/solr to access configuration files. Solr admin UI can be accessed by localhost:8003
To spin up a container with Varnish uncomment lines with varnish service definition in the compose file. Use the port specified in the compose file to access the website via Varnish.
To use D4D with multiple projects simply adjust the ports in the compose file, e.g. instead of ports 8000, 8001, 8002 you can use 7000, 7001, 7002.
If your docroot located in a subdirectory use options PHP_DOCROOT and NGINX_DOCROOT to specify the path (relative path inside the /var/www/html/ directory) for PHP and Nginx containers.
To get logs from a container simply run (skip the last param to get logs form all the containers):
$ docker-compose logs [service]
Example: real-time logs of the PHP container:
$ docker-compose logs -f php
We're actively working on this instructions and containers. More options will be added soon. If you have a feature request or found a bug please submit an issue.
We update containers from time to time, to get the lastest changes simply run again:
$ docker-compose up -d
