Contribute with ddev
This page explains how to setup a local contributing environment for Shopware 6' community edition with ddev.
While Shopware 6 comes with a predefined Docker setup file, there is a good reason to use ddev for your local contribution environment: It can be booted in parallel with other ddev projects. In fact, I often have one or more client projects up and running at the same time as a contribution environment.
Within your contribution project folder, initiate ddev with the following command:
ddev config --project-type=shopware6 --disable-settings-management --docroot=shopware/public --create-docroot --web-working-dir=/var/www/html/shopware \
--database=mysql:8.0 --php-version=8.2 --nodejs-version=20 --webserver-type=apache-fpm \
--web-environment-add="DATABASE_URL=mysql://db:db@db:3306/db,MAILER_DSN=smtp://localhost:1025?encryption=&auth_mode=,APP_URL=\${DDEV_PRIMARY_URL},APP_DEBUG=1,APP_ENV=dev"
Adjust the php and nodejs versions to the current requirements.
Start ddev and ssh into the web container:
ddev start
Clone your fork of Shopware:
rm -rf shopware && git clone [email protected]:<your-github-user>/shopware.git
Install the dependencies:
ddev exec composer install
Create a .env file and the jwt secrets:
ddev exec bin/console system:setup
The database user, password, host and database are all the same, just: 'db'. I recommend to go for a "dev" setup.
Initialize the database and build the administration and storefront components:
ddev exec composer setup
Voilá, you are set! Run
ddev launch /admin
to bring up the admin UI in your web browser. The admin credentials, as usual are 'admin' and 'shopware'.
Happy contributing!
