README.sandbox.md

A vanilla Drupal 8 sandbox is installed at

http://sandbox.drupal.org.nz/

We may reset it back to scratch when needed.

user: drupal8nz pass: (ask the gang)

Create a local alias file:

sandbox.drupal.org.nz.alias.drushrc.php

<?php
$aliases["sandbox.drupal.org.nz"] = array (
  'root' => '/var/www/drupalnetnz/sandbox',
  'uri' => 'http://sandbox.drupal.org.nz',
  'remote-host' => 'taranto.coders.co.nz',
  'remote-user' => 'aegir',
  'path-aliases' => array (
    '%drush' => '/var/aegir/.composer/vendor/drush/drush',
    '%drush-script' => '/var/aegir/.composer/vendor/bin/drush',
    '%site' => 'sites/default/',
  ),
);

Means you should be able to:

drush @sandbox.drupal.org.nz status

and see results including:

 Drupal version                  :  8.0.1
 Site URI                        :  http://sandbox.drupal.org.nz
 Drupal bootstrap                :  Successful
 Drush script                    :  /var/aegir/.composer/vendor/drush/drush/drush.php
 Drush version                   :  8.1-dev
 Drupal root                     :  /var/www/drupalnetnz/sandbox
 Site path                       :  sites/default
 File directory path             :  sites/default/files

On the taranto server, the drush aliases @sandbox and @sandbox.drupal.org.nz are equivalent.

Reset

Drush will let us restore to factory settings with:

drush @sandbox.drupal.org.nz site-install \
  --account-name=drupalorgnz --account-pass="{ask the gang}" \
