Configuration
While Lando recipes set sane defaults so they work out of the box they are also configurable.
Here are the configuration options, set to the default values, for this recipe's Landofile. If you are unsure about where this goes or what this means we highly recommend scanning the recipes documentation to get a good handle on how the magicks work.
recipe: drupal9
config:
php: '8.0'
composer_version: '2.2.12'
via: apache:2.4
webroot: .
database: mysql:5.7
drush: false
xdebug: false
config:
database: SEE BELOW
php: SEE BELOW
server: SEE BELOW
vhosts: SEE BELOW
Note that if the above config options are not enough all Lando recipes can be further extended and overriden.
Choosing a Drupal version
If you've initialized a site with lando init
there is a good chance this is already set correctly. However, definitely make sure you are vibing the correct major version of Drupal as the underlying server config differs.
recipe: drupal10|drupal9|drupal8|drupal7|drupal6
config:
php: '7.4'
Choosing a PHP version
You can set php
to any version that is available in our php service.
However, you should consult the Drupal requirements to make sure that the version of php
you choose is actually supported by the version of drupal
you are running.
Here is the recipe config to set the Drupal 9 recipe to use php
version 7.4
recipe: drupal9
config:
php: '7.4'
Choosing a composer version
You can set composer_version
to any version that is available in our php service.
recipe: drupal9
config:
composer_version: '1.10.1'
Choosing a webserver
By default this recipe will be served by the default version of our apache service but you can also switch this to use nginx
. We highly recommend you check out both the apache and nginx services before you change the default via
.
With Apache (default)
recipe: drupal9
config:
via: apache
With nginx
recipe: drupal9
config:
via: nginx
Choosing a database backend
By default this recipe will use the default version of our mysql service as the database backend but you can also switch this to use mariadb
or postgres
instead. Note that you can also specify a version as long as it is a version available for use with lando for either mysql
, mariadb
or postgres
.
If you are unsure about how to configure the database
we highly recommend you check out the mysql
, mariadb
and postgres
services before you change the default.
Also note that like the configuration of the php
version you should consult the Drupal requirements to make sure the database
and version
you select is actually supported by the version of Drupal you are using.
Using MySQL (default)
recipe: drupal9
config:
database: mysql
Using MariaDB
recipe: drupal9
config:
database: mariadb
Using Postgres
recipe: drupal9
config:
database: postgres
Using a custom version
recipe: drupal9
config:
database: mariadb:10.4
Connecting to your database
Lando will automatically set up a database with a user and password and also set an environment variables called LANDO INFO
that contains useful information about how your application can access other Lando services.
Here is the default database connection information for a Drupal 9 site. Note that the host
is not localhost
but database
. Also note that you will want to replace drupal9
if you are using a different major version of Drupal eg drupal8
for Drupal 8.
database: drupal9
username: drupal9
password: drupal9
host: database
# for mysql
port: 3306
# for postgres
# port: 5432
You can get also get the above information, and more, by using the lando info
command.
Using custom config files
You may need to override our default Drupal config with your own.
If you do this you must use files that exist inside your application and express them relative to your project root as below.
Note that the default files may change based on how you set both ssl
and via
. Also note that the vhosts
and server
config will be either for apache
or nginx
depending on how you set via
. We highly recommend you check out both the apache and nginx if you plan to use a custom vhosts
or server
config.
A hypothetical project
Note that you can put your configuration files anywhere inside your application directory. We use a config
directory in the below example but you can call it whatever you want such as .lando
.
./
|-- config
|-- default.conf
|-- my-custom.cnf
|-- php.ini
|-- server.conf
|-- index.php
|-- .lando.yml
Landofile using custom drupal9 config
recipe: drupal9
config:
config:
database: config/my-custom.cnf
php: config/php.ini
server: config/server.conf
vhosts: config/default.conf
