Lando Boilerplates for Joomla, WordPress and PrestaShop

REQUIREMENTS: Lando 3.0.0-RC.2+ - Tested on 3.0.6. Download the latest Lando release from: https://github.com/lando/lando/releases.

Recipes for Lando - Docker containers. Tested with Joomla, WordPress, PrestaShop, etc.

These Recipes configure a local development site based on Lando and Docker with the most common tools for Lamp and CMS development. It is based on Lando and Docker. So, all the available tooling can also be applied to these recipes.

For a general introduction: Devops with Lando and Docker, By Anibal Sanchez, Extly.Tech. Ubucon Europe - Xixón, Spain - 27-29th of April 2018. Slides: joo.nu/devops

In my practice, I have configured the recipes to have the following services:

• A LAMP site, on the www folder
• phpMyAdmin, to handle the administration of MySQL
• MailHog, to handle SMTP testing of mails

Available customized Lando recipes:

• Drupal
• Joomla
• General LAMP
• PrestaShop
• WordPress

How to Start

• Choose which CMS you want to install and copy only those files into the destination folder mydevsite (remember to also copy the hidden .lando.yml). Follow the next steps.

Joomla Recipe

Step 1 - Review and Customize the Recipe

Open the .lando.yml and replace the $replace-with-a-name$ (including the $) with the myname of your local development site.

The recipe is going to create:

• A site with the myname

A database with these connection settings:

• Host Name: database
• User mynamedb
• Password mynamedb
• Database: mynamedb

Step 2 - Review and Customize the Recipe for Joomla

• To start the Docker container:

lando start

After starting the container, you will receive a command line output like this one:

BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!

Your app has started up correctly.
Here are some vitals:

NAME            myname
LOCATION        /home/myuser/mysites/mydevsite
SERVICES        appserver, database, pma, mailhog

APPSERVER URLS  https://localhost:32775
                http://localhost:8080
                http://localhost:32774
                http://myname.lndo.site
                https://myname.lndo.site

PMA URLS        http://localhost:32769
                http://phpmyadmin.lndo.site
                https://phpmyadmin.lndo.site

MAILHOG URLS    http://localhost:32773
                http://mailhog.lndo.site
                https://mailhog.lndo.site

Great! The site is ready, and available on APPSERVER URLS, there is also a phpmyadmin and a mailhog.

• To stop the Docker container:

lando stop

• To restart the Docker container:

lando restart

• To rebuild the Docker container:

lando rebuild

• To destroy the Docker container (destroy for ever):

lando destroy

• To access the mysql server:

lando mysql

Step 3 - Optional commands for Joomla

• To download the latest Joomla zip file and extract it to the www folder:

lando install

After extraction, visit one of the APPSERVER URLS to complete the installation. For example: http://localhost:8080.

• To apply my development configuration to a site:

lando dev-config

This is handy script to disable security plugins, CDNs, disable cache, configure the MailHog, etc.

• To download and extract an Akeeba backup with kickstart:

lando kick-restore

After the extraction, visit the site to complete the installation. For instance: http://localhost:8080/k.php.

After the installation, remember to execute lando dev-config, to apply the best practices.

• To extract and install an Akeeba backup with unite:

lando unite-restore

NOTE: unite.phar must be copied into /home/-user-/.lando.

After the installation, remember to execute lando dev-config, to apply the best practices.

• To extract and install an Akeeba backup from amazon s3 with unite:

lando unite-restore-s3

You will be asked for the filename (without the extension), the s3 bucket, the s3 region and the filepath.

After the installation, remember to execute lando dev-config, to apply the best practices.

Step 4 - Optional commands for Joomla - JMAD18 SPECIAL EDITION

• To intall an extension

lando install-extension

The extension must be copied into the tmp/ folder and named "the-extension.zip".

• To intall the Patch Tester for the Joomla, Pizza, Bugs and Fun session.

lando install-patchtester

WordPress Recipe

Step 1 - Review and Customize the Recipe for WordPress

Open the .lando.yml and replace the $replace-with-a-name$ with the myname of your local development site. For instance, $replace-with-a-name$ can be replaced with wp.

The recipe is going to create:

• A site with the myname. In our case, we use wp.

A database with these connection settings:

• Host Name: database
• User mynamedb (wpdb)
• Password mynamedb (wpdb)
• Database: mynamedb (wpdb)

Step 2 - Review and Customize the Recipe

• To start the Docker container:

lando start

After starting the container, you will receive a command line output like this one:

BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!

Your app has started up correctly.
Here are some vitals:

 NAME            wp
 LOCATION        /home/anibal/...../wp
 SERVICES        appserver, database, pma, mailhog
 APPSERVER URLS  https://localhost:33928
                 http://localhost:8080
                 http://localhost:33929
                 http://wp.lndo.site
                 https://wp.lndo.site

 MAILHOG URLS    http://localhost:33930
                 http://mailhog.lndo.site
                 https://mailhog.lndo.site

Great! The site is ready, and available on APPSERVER URLS, there is also a phpmyadmin and a mailhog.

• To stop the Docker container:

lando stop

• To restart the Docker container:

lando restart

• To rebuild the Docker container:

Step 3 - Optional commands for WordPress

To install WordPress, you can download the latest WordPress zip file and extract it to the www folder, then install it from there following the usual process. As a handy way to support it in the receipe, I have configured a command, based on Lando tooling to use WP CLI, to install Wordpress and Gutenberg plugin with a single line:

lando install

PrestaShop Recipe

Step 1 - Review and Customize the PrestaShop Recipe

Open the .lando.yml and replace the $replace-with-a-name$ (including the $) with the myname of your local development site. For instance, in this sample recipe, $replace-with-a-name$ has been replaced with ps.

The recipe is going to create:

• A site with the myname. In this sample recipe, ps.

A database with these connection settings:

• Host Name: database
• User mynamedb (psdb)
• Password mynamedb (psdb)
• Database: mynamedb (psdb)

Step 2 - Review and Customize the Recipe for PrestaShop

• To start the Docker container:

lando start

After starting the container, you will receive a command line output like this one:

BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!

Your app has started up correctly.
