README

Creates a Drupal project using DDEV and Raini tooling.

Create DDEV Containers

Set up DDEV container and environment for running your project.

ddev config --docroot=docroot --project-type=drupal11 \
  --disable-settings-management \
  --webserver-type=apache-fpm \
  --corepack-enable

Redis or Memcached

Drupal works better when it uses a caching service. Which one you use may depend on the target hosting of your project. Redis is generally recommended, and is the choice for AWS ElasticCache or Pantheon hosting.

Acquia uses Memcached with its hosting and thereforce you should set up your project to use Memcached in order to match the settings.

For a Redis/Valkey cache:

ddev add-on get ddev/ddev-redis

For a Memcached cache:

ddev add-on get ddev/ddev-memcached

Solr

Add Solr Container to DDEV (prefer version 9.x).

ddev add-on get ddev/ddev-solr

Ensure that you are using the version of Solr supported by your target hosting, but where possible use the latest version to get the most recent security updates and feature support.

Copy the solr configset into .ddev/solr/configsets/<core-name> directory. DDEV will apply the configurations from the configsets directory into Solr cores.

See documentation for more information about configuring versions and SOLR_MODULES. Generally the defaults will work for most AWS or Acquia projects with the version 9.x or newer.

Create & Initialize Project

Using your DDEV CLI container you can run the following commands.

ddev composer create-project --stability=dev raini/drupal-ddev-scaffold

# Command to configure the project and generate a Drupal installation.
ddev raini create
ddev raini generate

This will leverage PHP and PHP Composer installed in the web CLI container provided by DDev.
