Lando: A Liberating Dev Tool for All Your Projects

Initialize a codebase for usage with Lando

This will create a starter Lando config file that you can then slowly augment with further dependencies as needed. You can initialize from code in a local folder or pull in code from a remote archive, git repo, GitHub or Pantheon!

Here are a few examples...

# Interactively initialize your code lando init 

# Set up a mean recipe that runs on a particular port with a particular command lando init --source cwd \ --recipe mean \ --option port=3000 \ --option command="yarn watch" \ --name meanest-app-youve-ever-seen 

# Interactively clone a site from Pantheon lando init --source pantheon 

# Spin up a new Drupal 7 site lando init \ --source remote \ --remote-url https://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-7.59.tar.gz \ --remote-options="--strip-components 1" \ --recipe drupal7 --webroot . \ --name hello-drupal7 

Optionally customize for MOAR POWER

While our recipe defaults are plenty good for most use cases Lando let's you customize further. This means you can configure our recipes, add additional services, proxy routes, tooling commands, build steps, runtime automation, and Docker Compose overrides or do nothing at all!

Here is a progressively complexifying WordPress example...

# Default WordPress recipe Landofile config

name: my-app recipe: wordpress 

# Adding some basic recipe config

name: my-app recipe: wordpress config: database: postgres php: '7.3' xdebug: true 

name: my-app recipe: wordpress config: database: postgres php: '7.3' xdebug: true config: php: my-custom-php.ini proxy: pma: - database-my-app.lndo.site services: index: type: solr node: type: node:10 globals: gulp: latest pma: type: phpmyadmin hosts: - database tooling: yarn: service: node node: service: node 

# Adding php extensions, build steps, automation, docker overrides

name: my-app recipe: wordpress config: database: postgres php: '7.3' xdebug: true config: php: my-custom-php.ini events: post-db-import: - appserver: wp search-replace proxy: pma: - database-my-app.lndo.site services: appserver: build_as_root: - apt update -y && apt-get install vim -y - /helpers/my-script-to-install-php-extension.sh memcached build: - composer install overrides: environment: APP_LEVEL: dev TAYLOR: swift index: type: solr node: type: node:10 globals: gulp: latest build: - yarn frontend: type: node:10 command: yarn start build: - yarn pma: type: phpmyadmin hosts: - database tooling: yarn: service: node node: service: node gulp: service: node test: cmd: - appserver: composer test - frontend: yarn test deploy: service: appserver cmd: /path/to/script.sh 

Try out some tooling commands

Lando isn't only about containerized services to run your application it also containerizes common dev tools like node, composer, drush, artisan and python. Try running lando after you start a project to see the tools available to your app, or add additional tooling.

Here are some commands for our complex WordPress config above.

# See what tools are available in your app lando 

# Run wp-cli commands lando wp # Drop into a postgres shell lando psql # Import a database lando db-import dump.sql # Run composer and yarn tests lando test # Install more node packages lando yarn add bootstrap # Start up gulp watch lando gulp watch 

Once you are feeling good about your Landofile, commit it to your repository so other developers can easily get setup.

# Project lead commits

# Commit and deploy git add .lando.yml git commit -m "Supercharge my dev" git push 

# Other developers get

# Get the project git clone my-project cd my-project # Start lando and get all the things you need lando start
