Quick Start dockware #dev with Shopware 6

All you need is

a MAC, Linux or PC with Docker installed
your browser should allow HTTPS for localhost
Docker Compose installed

1. Create docker-compose.yml file

If you want to develop with Shopware 6, you need some additional ports and settings for your container. We have prepared a docker compose file for you :)

Check GitHub docker-compose.yml

2. Start Docker

We start by launching dockware. This will prepare the whole shop for you.


                                    docker-compose up -d

3. Prepare Development

Now download the Shopware sources from the container to your local source folder (if you don't use bind mounting). Don't worry, it won't take that long
Now you have the whole the source code from Shopware on your local drive to benefit from code completion and all that stuff.


                                    docker cp dw__myshop_dev_shopware:/var/www/html ./my/local/path/src

for Windows users:
1. you have to open your terminal "cmd" with admin rights.
2. it's possible that also long paths does not work so there will be some folder which can't be downloaded. In this case we recommend to zip the content wihthin th container, copy and unzip:
1. docker exec -it CONTAINERNAME zip -r dockware.zip ./
2.

docker cp CONTAINERNAME:/var/www/html/dockware.zip
                                        C:\my\path\dockware.zip

3. right click zip file -> unzip

the unzip process will show you some notifications that file XY can't be extracted as of path length, please skip this files to get all others to your local path.


                                        docker exec -it CONTAINERNAME tip -r dockware.zip ./

4. SSH/SFTP

Yes, correct - we use SSH and SFTP to communicate with dockware!
But of course you can use bind moutning (if your host and perfromance allows it)
Our isolated containers give you the performance you need while developing on your host machine. Just create an automatic-upload in your favourite IDE and you can modify the code or even use the watchers inside the container.


                                        ssh dockware@localhost

You can also use the plain docker commands to access your containers.


                                        docker exec -it dw__myshop_dev_shopware bash
