docker-local

You can bootstrap a local Drupal development environment using standardized Docker Compose templates that include php, web, and db services with sensible defaults. Run docker compose up -d to start services and docker compose exec php bash to access the PHP container.

Standardizing Docker Compose configurations involves using conventional docker-compose files and common service names to reduce configuration drift. This approach provides reproducible local environments that match production setups and accelerates onboarding for new developers.

No, you do not need DDEV. This approach targets non-DDEV setups and container-based workflows, requiring only Docker Engine and Docker Compose on the host to bootstrap and manage your local Drupal environment.

Troubleshooting local Docker Compose setups involves using common service patterns and conventional docker-compose files to identify configuration issues. Access the PHP container directly using docker compose exec php bash to debug the local environment.

Yes, you can onboard new developers by providing a reproducible local environment that matches production setups. Standardized Docker Compose templates with sensible defaults ensure quick bootstrap and consistent configurations across different machines.

Using conventional docker-compose files for local development requires Docker Engine and Docker Compose installed on the host machine. It targets container-based workflows and non-DDEV setups, meaning it may not integrate with DDEV-specific tooling or features.
