Drupal¶

Install a lightweight Drupal container with OpenLiteSpeed Edge or Stable version based on Ubuntu 24.04 Linux.

Prerequisites¶

1. Install Docker
2. Install Docker Compose

Configuration¶

Edit the .env file to update the demo site domain, default MySQL user, and password. Feel free to check the Docker Hub Tag page if you want to update default openlitespeed and php versions.

Installation¶

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

git clone https://github.com/litespeedtech/ols-drupal-env.git

docker compose up

Components¶

The docker image installs the following packages on your system:

Data Structure¶

Cloned project

├── acme
├── bin
│   └── container
├── data
│   └── db
├── logs
│   ├── access.log
│   ├── error.log
│   ├── lsrestart.log
│   └── stderr.log
├── lsws
│   ├── admin-conf
│   └── conf
├── ols-dockerfiles
│   ├── template
|   └── README.md
├── sites
│   └── localhost
├── LICENSE
├── README.md
└── docker-compose.yml

• acme contains all applied certificates from Lets Encrypt
• bin contains multiple CLI scripts to allow you add or delete virtual hosts, install applications, upgrade, etc
• data stores the MySQL database
• logs contains all of the web server logs and virtual host access logs
• lsws contains all web server configuration files
• sites contains the document roots (the Drupal application will install here)

Usage¶

Starting a Container¶

Start the container with the up or start methods:

docker compose up

docker compose up -d

Stopping a Container¶

docker compose stop

Removing Containers¶

To stop and remove all containers, use the down command:

docker compose down

Setting the WebAdmin Password¶

We strongly recommend you set your personal password right away.

bash bin/webadmin.sh my_password

Starting a Demo Site¶

After running the following command, you should be able to access the Drupal installation with the configured domain. By default the domain is http://localhost.

bash bin/demosite.sh

Creating a Domain and Virtual Host¶

bash bin/domain.sh [-A, --add] example.com

Deleting a Domain and Virtual Host¶

bash bin/domain.sh [-D, --del] example.com

Creating a Database¶

You can either automatically generate the user, password, and database names, or specify them. Use the following to auto generate:

bash bin/database.sh [-D, --domain] example.com

bash bin/database.sh [-D, --domain] example.com [-U, --user] USER_NAME [-P, --password] MY_PASS [-DB, --database] DATABASE_NAME

Installing a Drupal Site¶

Run the database.sh script for your domain, before you use the following command to install Drupal:

./bin/appinstall.sh [-A, --app] drupal [-D, --domain] example.com

Install ACME¶

We need to run the ACME installation command the first time only. With email notification:

./bin/acme.sh [-I, --install] [-E, --email] EMAIL_ADDR

Applying a Let's Encrypt Certificate¶

Use the root domain in this command, and it will check for a certificate and automatically apply one with and without www:

./bin/acme.sh [-D, --domain] example.com

Other parameters:

• [-r, --renew]: Renew a specific domain with -D or --domain parameter if posibile. To force renew, use -f parameter.
• [-R, --renew-all]: Renew all domains if possible. To force renew, use -f parameter.
• [-f, -F, --force]: Force renew for a specific domain or all domains.
• [-v, --revoke]: Revoke a domain.
• [-V, --remove]: Remove a domain.

Update Web Server¶

To upgrade the web server to the latest stable version, run the following:

bash bin/webadmin.sh [-U, --upgrade]

Apply OWASP ModSecurity¶

Enable OWASP mod_secure on the web server:

bash bin/webadmin.sh [-M, --mod-secure] enable

bash bin/webadmin.sh [-M, --mod-secure] disable

Accessing the Database¶

After installation, you can use phpMyAdmin to access the database by visiting http://127.0.0.1:8080 or https://127.0.0.1:8443. The default username is root, and the password is the same as the one you supplied in the .env file.

Customization¶

If you want to customize the image by adding some packages, e.g. lsphp83-pspell, just extend it with a Dockerfile, like so:

1. Create a custom folder and a custom/Dockerfile file under the main project.
2. Add the following example code to Dockerfile under the custom folder

   FROM litespeedtech/openlitespeed-drush:latest
   RUN apt update && apt install lsphp83-pspell -y
   

3. Add a build: ./custom line under the image: litespeedtech line of the docker-compose file. So it will looks like this

     litespeed:
       image: litespeedtech/openlitespeed-drush:${OLS_VERSION}-${PHP_VERSION}
       build: ./custom
   

4. Build and start it with this command:

   docker compose up --build
