```

### Manual

#### Requirements

Make sure you have the latest versions of **Docker** and **Docker Compose** installed on your machine.

- [How install docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/)
- [How install docker compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)

Clone this repository or copy the files from this repository into a new folder.

Make sure to [add your user to the `docker` group](https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/linux-postinstall/#manage-docker-as-a-non-root-user).

#### Configuration

download with

```
git clone https://github.com/damalis/full-stack-proxy-nginx-drupal-for-everyone-with-docker-compose.git
```

Open a terminal and `cd` to the folder in which `docker-compose.yml` is saved and run:

```
cd full-stack-proxy-nginx-drupal-for-everyone-with-docker-compose
```

Copy the example environment into `.env`

```
cp env.example .env
```

Edit the `.env` file to change values of

#### Installation

Firstly: will create external volume

```
docker volume create --driver local --opt type=none --opt device=${PWD}/certbot --opt o=bind certbot-etc
```

Localhost ssl: Generate Self-signed SSL Certificate with guide [mkcert repository](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert).

```
docker compose up -d
```

then reloading for proxy ssl configuration

```
docker container restart proxy
```

The containers are now built and running. You should be able to access the Drupal installation with the configured IP in the browser address. `https://DOMAIN_NAME`.

For convenience you may add a new entry into your hosts file.

### Portainer

```
docker compose -f portainer-docker-compose.yml -p portainer up -d
```

manage docker with [Portainer](https://www.portainer.io/) is the definitive container management tool for Docker, Docker Swarm with it's highly intuitive GUI and API.

You can also visit `https://DOMAIN_NAME:9001` to access portainer after starting the containers.

### Usage

#### You could manage docker containers without command line with portainer.

#### Here’s a quick reference of commonly used Docker Compose commands

```
docker ps -a # Lists all containers managed by the compose file
```

```
docker compose start # Starts previously stopped containers
```

```
docker compose stop # Stops all running containers
```

```
docker compose down # Stops and removes containers, networks, etc.
```

```
docker compose down -v # Add --volumes to remove volumes explicitly
```

```
docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q) # Removes portainer and the other containers
```

```
docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q) # Removes all volumes
```

```
docker network prune # Remove all unused networks
```

```
docker system prune # Removes unused data (containers, networks, images, and optionally volumes)
```

```
docker system prune -a # Removes all unused images, not just dangling ones
```

```
docker rmi $(docker image ls -q) # Removes portainer and the other images
```

```
docker container logs container_name_or_id # Shows logs from all services
```

#### Project from existing source

Copy all files into a new directory:

```
docker compose up -d # Starts services in detached mode (in the background)
```

#### Docker run reference

[https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/compose/](https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/compose/)

#### Website

You should see the "Drupal installation" page in your browser. If not, please check if your PHP installation satisfies Drupal's requirements.

```
https://DOMAIN_NAME
```

if you should see the "The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later." in your browser, run ```drush cache:rebuild``` in drupal container.

add or remove code in the ./php-fpm/php/conf.d/security.ini file for custom php.ini configurations

[https://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.php)

You should make changes custom host configurations ```./php-fpm/php-fpm.d/z-www.conf``` then must restart service, FPM uses php.ini syntax for its configuration file - php-fpm.conf, and pool configuration files.

[https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.configuration.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.configuration.php)

```
docker container restart drupal
```

add and/or remove drupal site folders and files with any ftp client program in ```./drupal``` folder.

You can also visit `https://DOMAIN_NAME` to access website after starting the containers.

#### Proxy

Proxying is typically used to distribute the load among several servers, seamlessly show content from different websites, or pass requests for processing to application servers over protocols other than HTTP.

add or remove code in the ```./proxy/templates/proxy.conf.template``` file for custom proxy configurations

[https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/web-server/reverse-proxy/](https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/web-server/reverse-proxy/)

#### Webserver

add or remove code in the ```./webserver/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf``` file for custom apache2/httpd configurations

[https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/)

#### Database

ADVANCED OPTIONS -> |```Host: database```|```Username: DB_USER```|```Password: DB_PASSWORD```|

[https://mariadb.com/kb/en/configuring-mariadb-with-option-files/](https://mariadb.com/kb/en/configuring-mariadb-with-option-files/)

[https://dev.mysql.com/doc/](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/)

#### Redis

at page https://DOMAIN_NAME/en/admin/modules, filter: redis and check then install.

if there isn't these lines, Edit Drupal settings file: ```./drupal/sites/default/settings.php``` and add these lines at the bottom of the file:

```
$settings['redis.connection']['interface'] = 'PhpRedis';
// Host ip address.
$settings['redis.connection']['host'] = 'redis';

$settings['cache']['default'] = 'cache.backend.redis';
// Redis port.
$settings['redis.connection']['port'] = '6379';
$settings['redis.connection']['base'] = 12;
// Password of redis updated in php.ini file.
// $settings['redis.connection']['password'] = "password";
$settings['cache']['bins']['bootstrap'] = 'cache.backend.chainedfast';
$settings['cache']['bins']['discovery'] = 'cache.backend.chainedfast';
$settings['cache']['bins']['config'] = 'cache.backend.chainedfast';
```

Create ```./drupal/sites/default/files/services.yml``` inisde default folder and add the below code in it.

```
services:
# Cache tag checksum backend. Used by redis and most other cache backend
# to deal with cache tag invalidations.
cache_tags.invalidator.checksum:
class: Drupal\redis\Cache\RedisCacheTagsChecksum
arguments: ['@redis.factory']
tags:
- { name: cache_tags_invalidator }

# Replaces the default lock backend with a redis implementation.
lock:
class: Drupal\Core\Lock\LockBackendInterface
factory: ['@redis.lock.factory', get]

# Replaces the default persistent lock backend with a redis implementation.
lock.persistent:
class: Drupal\Core\Lock\LockBackendInterface
factory: ['@redis.lock.factory', get]
arguments: [true]

# Replaces the default flood backend with a redis implementation.
flood:
class: Drupal\Core\Flood\FloodInterface
factory: ['@redis.flood.factory', get]
```

#### Varnish

at page https://DOMAIN_NAME/en/admin/modules, filter: purge and check then install.

Varnish Server Hostname: |```varnish```|

Varnish Server Port: |```8080```|

Scheme: |```http```|

[This link is to complete configure Varnish](https://www.varnish-software.com/developers/tutorials/configuring-varnish-drupal/#4-configure-caching-and-purging-in-drupal)

All necessary changes to sites/default and sites/default/settings.php have been made, so you should remove write permissions to them now in order to avoid security risks.

```
sudo chmod 655 ./drupal/sites/default/settings.php
```

#### phpMyAdmin

You can add your own custom config.inc.php settings (such as Configuration Storage setup) by creating a file named config.user.inc.php with the various user defined settings in it, and then linking it into the container using:

```
./phpmyadmin/config.user.inc.php
```

You can also visit `https://DOMAIN_NAME:9090` to access phpMyAdmin after starting the containers.

The first authorize screen(htpasswd;username or password) and phpmyadmin login screen the username and the password is the same as supplied in the `.env` file.

#### backup

This will back up the all files and folders in database/dump sql and html volumes, once per day, and write it to ```./backups``` with a filename like backup-2023-01-01T10-18-00.tar.gz

##### can run on a custom cron schedule

```BACKUP_CRON_EXPRESSION: '20 01 * * *'``` the UTC timezone.
