Installing Drupal

Hello All,

I am following composer based workflow for Drupal 8, in which I commit only custom code and use composer install to install it on another environment.

However, on new workflow, the dev, test, staging instances are on Internal network, with no access to Internet (due to security reasons).

Can you suggest a deployment strategy to use in this scenario, so that I don't have to commit the whole files in git repository, as is.

I'm attempting to install a clean copy of Drupal 8 to my local machine using MAMP.

I created a local database called "1", entered the username/password and clicked 'Save and continue' but after a few seconds it crashes and tells me that "localhost is currently unable to handle this request. HTP ERROR 500"

This is happening right out of the gate.  I start the installer, choose English, choose either standard or minimal installation and then get this error.  Any ideas?  Search hasn't turned up any frequent instances of this.

Hey guys

I just install Drupal 8 but  after I installed. I cannot access homepage. This error message "The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later."

I'm working on a project which the client has specifically requested be deployed inside a Docker container. Ideally I would like the core drupal files to be in the container possibly using the Official Drupal Docker images, but I want to mount my own /themes /modules /profiles and /sites folders.

I've tried this, but Drupal seems to ignore the /sites folder and treats it as a new install. If though, I map my whole drupal application to /var/www/html, replacing the Drupal files in the image, it works absolutely fine.

I've been searching to find out how to configure the public file system to store files on a disk separate from the web root. The only thing I can find is that the path I use must be within the web root. Any ideas how I can accomplish this?
