GovCMS Project Scaffolding

Known Issues

• This repository is still a Work-in-Progress, and may be subject to slight alterations
• This process only applies to the 7.x-3.x branch of GovCMS

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

• You should create your theme(s) in folders under /themes
• Tests specific to your site can be committed to the /tests folders
• The files folder is not (currently) committed to GitLab.
• 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 SaaS

Image inheritance

This project is designed to provision a Drupal 7 project onto GovCMS SaaS, using the GovCMS distribution, and has been prepared thus

1. The vanilla GovCMS (7.x-3.x) Distribution is available at Github Source and as Public DockerHub images
2. Those GovCMS images are then customised for Lagoon and GovCMS, and are available at Github Source and as Public DockerHub images
3. Those GovCMSlagoon images are then retrieved in this scaffold repository.
