Modules

List all modules using Drush

drush pm-list --type=Module --status=enabled --no-core --format=list

Configuration

Drupal Console

Setup site for Drupal console:

drupal init --site --no-interaction

 Generation path: /opt/drupal/web
 1 - /root/.console/config.yml
 2 - /opt/drupal/console/config.yml

Dockerfile

WORKDIR /opt

RUN composer create-project drupal/recommended-project:8.9.3 drupal

RUN composer require drush/drush

RUN echo '$settings["config_sync_directory"] = "../config/sync";' >> web/sites/default/default.settings.php

COPY config /opt/drupal/web/sites/config/sync

RUN php -d memory_limit=-1 `which drush` site:install minimal --existing-config

Prep configuration from production server without Drush

  1. Export configuration from web ui.
  2. Extract and configuration tarball.
  3. View modules used in the core.extensions.yml file.
  4. Install modules on dev server.
  5. Install mystery sophron module
  • include it also in core.extensions.yml before imagemagick
  1. Strip all instances of Standard profile from core.extensions.xml and replace it with ‘Minimal’ sed -i ’s/standard/minimal/g' /opt/drupal/web/sites/config/sync/core.extension.yml

Install custom modules

  1. Add custom repository to composer:
composer config repositories.repo-name vcs https://github.com/lullabot/custom_layouts.git
  1. Install module using composer
php -d memory_limit=-1 /usr/local/bin/composer require lullabot/custom_layouts

Build docker images

Drupal

3:17 to build on the rpi.

docker build . -t registry.gitlab.com/noirlab/noirlab-template/drupal-intra-fresh:8.9.3-20201113-arm64    

docker push registry.gitlab.com/noirlab/noirlab-template/drupal-intra-fresh:8.9.3-20201113-arm64

Post docker build

Install drupal

21:43 to install on the rpi

docker exec -it noirlab-intranet_drupal_1 php -d memory_limit=-1 /opt/drupal/vendor/bin/drush site:install minimal --existing-config --account-name=admin --account-pass=tyb89kp

Uninstall LDAP modules

:32 on the rpi

docker exec -it noirlab-intranet_drupal_1 drush pm-uninstall ldap_authentication \
ldap_authorization \
ldap_help \
ldap_query \
ldap_servers \
ldap_user

Dump database to be used by Docker volume

docker exec noirlab-intranet_mariadb_1 sh -c 'exec mysqldump noirlab-intranet-drupal-8 -uroot -pgemini' > docker/mariadb/noirlab-intranet-drupal-8.20201019.sql

Build mariadb image with dump

  1. Modify dockerfile to add db dump
  2. Use buildx to create multi-arch image:

1:13 on the rpi to build

docker buildx build . --push --platform linux/arm64,linux/amd64 -t registry.gitlab.com/noirlab/noirlab-template/mariadb-intra-fresh:10.5.6-20201113

Reconfigure docker environment

  1. Update docker-compose images for mariadb and drupal.
  2. Delete all data in project maraidb directory
  3. Restart docker-compose

Install default content

4:34 on the rpi

docker exec -it noirlab-intranet_drupal_1 drush pm-enable noirlab_default_content
docker exec -it noirlab-intranet_drupal_1 drush cache-rebuild

Workflow

  1. Build custom Drupal docker image
  • Copy latest configuration files.
  • Modify configuration files to be compatible with fresh install of Drupal.
  • Install modules that are used by production server.
  • Misc. commands to disable specific modules, etc. suitable for dev environment.

  1. Install Drupal with configuration

  2. Dump DB

  3. Create custom MariaDB image using DB dump.

  4. Use docker-compose with custom Drupal and MariaDB images.

  5. Publish images to registry:

docker push registry.gitlab.com/noirlab/noirlab-template/drupal-intra-fresh:8.9.3-{YEARMONTHDAY}-arm64

docker push registry.gitlab.com/noirlab/noirlab-template/mariadb-intra-fresh:10.5.6-{YEARMONTHDAY}-arm64
  1. Install noirlab_default_content module and dump the DB and commit the Drupal image
docker commit {container hash} registry.gitlab.com/noirlab/noirlab-template/drupal-intra-content:8.9.3-{YEARMONTHDAY}-arm64

docker push registry.gitlab.com/noirlab/noirlab-template/mariadb-intra-content:10.5.6-{YEARMONTHDAY}-arm64
