Installing on pantheon

[ugintl]

Is it possible to install it on pantheon?

Currently I am using Acquia Dev Desktop windows 10 for development and using the open y composer template

The reason of using pantheon is that it allows to host 2 free dev sites. So it is easier for me to show the work to the client without paying for the hosting.

Hi @ugintl
Thank you for your question.

OpenY is just a very very powerful version of Drupal. It is the biggest and most extended Drupal profile in the world.
But it still Drupal

When you do composer create project as described in our docs - you'd get a tree of codebase you'd need to deploy to Pantheon
Docroot folder is a folder where vhost of Webserver should be serving your site from
If Pantheon needs different name of the folder - rename it or better add a link on a filesystem to keep backward compatibility.

Let me know if you need any assistance.

What about the vendor directory? It is outside the docroot folder. Dont we need that?

Some D8 projects have a different pantheon template because of the structure.

I think the solution is this https://pantheon.io/docs/nested-docroot

but the problem is that the "docroot" folder needs to be converted to "web". How can I do it?

[podarok]

@ugintl you can create a link from docroot to web once composer create-project finished

How to create a link?

[anpolimus]

@ugintl you could create a symlink from docroot to web or change composer setting.
Here you can see how do they do it at the official pantheon composer.json example:
