Run Drupal Commerce Kickstart 3 in a Docker container

This guide assumes that your localhost's ports 80 and 8080 are already taken by other apps running. Therefore, ports 81 and 8082 are used instead.

1. create a project directory and copy the compose.yaml, install.yaml and Dockerfile into it

mkdir testdrupal
cd testdrupal
<copy the compose.yaml, install.yaml and Dockerfile here>

2. create image from Dockerfile

sudo docker build -t demo_commerce_kickstart_3 .

3. start up the containers

sudo docker compose -f install.yaml up -d

4. navigate to localhost:81 and run the installer. Check the MariaDb option. When asked about the database name, user and password, enter drupal everywhere. Also, under Advanced, replace the default localhost with mariadbdemo.

4.1. Later on during the installation process, make sure to check the box Install all features with sample content. to install the complete store demo, when presented.

5. Back to the terminal, copy container folders of interest on local filesystem

sudo docker cp kickstartdemo:/opt/drupal/web/modules ./modules
sudo docker cp kickstartdemo:/opt/drupal/web/profiles ./profiles
sudo docker cp kickstartdemo:/opt/drupal/web/themes ./themes
sudo docker cp kickstartdemo:/opt/drupal/web/sites ./sites
sudo docker cp kickstartdemo:/opt/drupal/private ./private
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data modules profiles themes sites private

6. Restart the combination with complete config

sudo docker compose stop
sudo docker compose up -d

Usage

• To run drush or composer commands:

First, you need to get inside the Drupal container. Run sudo docker exec - ti kickstartdemo bash Once inside the container, you can run drush and composer commands. You don't need to prefix anything with sudo anymore.

• Every change you make in the files on the local filesystem is instantly propagated in the corresponding file(s) inside the container.

• To start over again, simply run sudo docker compose down. This will erase all your containers. Then, clean up your folder, leaving only the compose.yaml, install.yaml and Dockerfile files. Then, go to step 3.

• phpmyadmin is available at localhost:8082. To log in, use drupal for both username and password.
