Setup

Installling Ahoy

NOTE : This process must be done once per local computer.

Executing commands on the container

---

Task	Using Ahoy
Starting containers	ahoy up

Executing docker-compose directly

---

Starting containers

To start the containers you need to execute the following command docker-compose up -d, grab some coffee or a beer and be patient while the images are downloaded to your local computer.

docker-compose up -d

NOTE: We suggest provide the detached mode flag to run in background.

Download and install Drupal

docker-compose exec --user=82 php shell/init.sh

Add hostname entry in your /etc/hosts file

127.0.0.1    drupal.develop

NOTE: Use your own domain if you make changes in the copied .env file.

Open your browser and point to http://drupal.develop/ or the hostname you entered on the .env file.

Shutting down the containers

docker-compose down

docker-compose down -v

NOTE: You can pass the -v flag to destroy the shared volumes as well. Be careful this will destroy any data on the shared volumes between the container and the local machine.

Checking for used ports

One common issue you'll likely run into while starting the containers, is finding the ports in use, this could mean an instance of Apache, Nginx, MySQL or other service is already running, so if you want to know what is using the ports you can run this commands on your terminal:

# web (Apache, Nginx)
lsof -i :80

# db (MySQL, MariaDB)
lsof -i :3306

We based the docker configuration of this repository on the Drupal4Docker project.
