Reference for working with SparkFabrik Drupal projects in local development.

When to Use

•Running commands inside the tools container
•Accessing Drupal services from containers or host
•Using make targets or fs-cli commands
•Debugging local development environment

Container Access

Interactive Shell (Recommended)

bash

# Open interactive shell in tools container
make drupal-cli

# All subsequent commands run inside the container

Single Command Execution

bash

# Run a single command in tools container
docker compose run --rm -it drupal-tools <command>

# Examples
docker compose run --rm -it drupal-tools drush status
docker compose run --rm -it drupal-tools curl -sI http://drupal-nginx/

Service URLs

From Inside the Container

When running commands inside drupal-tools container, services are accessible by their container name.

To discover running services:

bash

# List running services
docker compose ps

# Example: if you see "drupal-nginx" service, access it at http://drupal-nginx

Common pattern: Service names in docker compose ps correspond to their hostnames inside the container network (e.g., drupal-nginx → http://drupal-nginx).

Example:

bash

# From inside container
curl -sI http://drupal-nginx/node/1

From Outside the Container (Host Machine)

Use fs-cli to get external URLs:

bash

# List all service URLs
fs-cli pkg:get-urls

# Get Drupal URL only
fs-cli pkg:get-urls | grep drupal-nginx | awk '{ print $2 }'

# Example output: https://drupal.projectname.sparkfabrik.loc:80

Example:

bash

# From host machine
curl -sI https://drupal.projectname.sparkfabrik.loc/

Note: Replace projectname with your actual project name from the fs-cli pkg:get-urls output.

Common Make Targets

bash

# List all available make targets
make help

Drush Commands

From inside the container (make drupal-cli):

bash

# Check status
drush status

# Clear cache
drush cr

# Run database updates
drush updb

# Export config
drush cex

# Import config
drush cim
