GovCMS7 PaaS Project Scaffolding - ARCHIVED

Notice

Most new GovCMS projects are built on Drupal 8 SaaS or PaaS. The READMEs for those projects are now directing readers to the GovCMS Developer Wiki. This legacy README is kept here.

Requirements and Preliminary Setup

• Docker - Follow documentation at https://docs.amazee.io/local_docker_development/local_docker_development.html to configure local development environment.

• Mac/Linux - Make sure you don't have anything running on port 80 on the host machine (like a web server):

    gem install pygmy
    pygmy up
  

• Windows:

    git clone https://github.com/amazeeio/amazeeio-docker-windows amazeeio-docker-windows; cd amazeeio-docker-windows
    docker-compose up -d; cd ..
  

• Ahoy (optional) - The commands are listed in .ahoy.yml all include their docker-compose versions for use on Windows, or on systems without Ahoy.

Project Setup

1. Checkout project repo and confirm the path is in Docker's file sharing config (https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/#file-sharing):

    Mac/Linux: git clone https://github.com/govcms/govcms7-scaffold-paas.git {INSERT_PROJECT_NAME} && cd $_
    Windows:   git clone https://github.com/govcms/govcms7-scaffold-paas.git {INSERT_PROJECT_NAME}; cd {INSERT_PROJECT_NAME}
   

2. Build and start the containers:

    Mac/Linux:  ahoy up
    Windows:    docker-compose up -d
   

3. Install GovCMS:

    Mac/Linux:  ahoy install
    Windows:    docker-compose exec -T test drush si -y govcms
   

4. Login to Drupal:

    Mac/Linux:  ahoy login
    Windows:    docker-compose exec -T test drush uli
   

Commands

Additional commands are listed in .ahoy.yml, or available from the command line ahoy -v

Databases

The GovCMS projects have been designed to be able to import a nightly copy of the latest master branch database in two ways:

1: Using the GitLab container registry nightly backup

• these instructions are for https://projects.govcms.gov.au/{org}/{project}/container_registry
• add a GitLab Personal Access Token with read_registry scope (profile/personal_access_tokens)
• docker login gitlab-registry-production.govcms.amazee.io (and use the PAT created above as the password)
• ahoy up (or the docker-compose equivalent)
• to refresh the db with a newer version, run ahoy up again

2: Use the backups accessible via the UI

• head to https://ui-lagoon.govcms.amazee.io/backups?name={project}-master
• click "Prepare download" for the most recent mysql backup you want - note that you will have to refresh the page to see when it is complete
• download that backup into your project folder
• ahoy mysql-import to import the dump you just saved

Development

• The entire docroot folder will be mounted and served by the web-server
• Tests specific to your site can be committed to the /tests folders
• Do not make changes to docker-compose.yml, lagoon.yml, .gitlab-ci.yml or the Dockerfiles under /.docker - these will result in your project being unable to deploy to GovCMS PaaS

Stage File Proxy

Stage File Proxy is already configured for use in both local development and cloud development environments. To enable:

• Add the stage_file_proxy module to your codebase
• Uncomment the relevant lines in .docker/scripts/govcms-deploy

This will ensure SFP is enabled on non-prod environments in Lagoon.
