Deploying Drupal with Docker

By chingis on 14 Jul 2016 at 12:20 UTC

Hi there,

We've started a new open source initiative Docker4Drupal.org. As you can tell from its name the idea is to help developers adopt docker containers. The GitHub repository contains docker compose file that can be used to pull and run containers. All containers use public images (official or forks) and pre-configured to work with Drupal.

New things in the bundle:

Now you can change PHP version (5.6 or 7)
Default installation goes with phpMyAdmin
Mailhog included in the default bundle to catch and view (via admin UI) all emails sent from PHP container
You can optionally deploy Apache Solr search engine
You can optionally deploy container with redis/memcached to use as a cache storage
PHP container includes xdebug, composer and drush
Now you can import your database by copying the dump to a special mariadb volume
Instructions updated (recommended to copy compose file to your drupal project codebase)

How to connect to Solr container?

Wilfred Waltman commented 20 September 2016 at 13:57

Chingis,

How can I connect to the solr container from Drupal Search API configuration. I think i tried every combination of protocol, host and port but all I get back is "The Solr server could not be reached or is protected by your service provider."

What is the right way here?

Wilfred, use the settings

chingis commented 21 September 2016 at 08:09

Wilfred, use the settings below to connect to your solr container:

URL: http://solr:8983/solr/

Host: solr
Port: 8983
Path: /solr/

I figured it out this morning

How to Use Varnish with Drupal 8

hollydo commented 21 December 2017 at 19:19

Hi, I'm trying to use Varnish with Drupal 8, but there isn't any real documentation on how to set it up on http://docker4drupal.readthedocs.io/en/stable/containers/varnish/. I tried to follow the blog https://wunderkraut.se/blogg/purge-cachetags-varnish but I can't get the X-Varnish to show up in the Header for my site despite the all green status for Purge within the drupal admin dashboard when you go to admin/config/development/performance/purge.
