The quickest way to add a local development environment to your Drupal project!, _(*3)

Get started:, _(*4)

Make sure you have Docker CE installed and running, then run docker-compose up -d. After a minute or two, you should be able to access your Drupal site at http://localhost/., _(*6)

To install Drupal, the default Drupal VM database name, username, and password are all drupal., _(*7)

Shutting down the environment

When you're finished developing, run the command:, _(*8)

docker-compose stop

And once you're ready to develop again, run:, _(*9)

docker-compose start

If you want to completely clear out the local environment (e.g. to start over or if you're finished with a project), run:, _(*10)

docker-compose down

Updating the Docker Compose file

The Docker Compose file should be updated automatically any time you update to a newer version of this plugin. However, you can also manually force the file to be updated by running:, _(*11)

composer drupal-vm-docker-update

You should then tell Docker to restart anything that needs to be restarted with docker-compose up -d., _(*12)
