What Docker4Drupal is

Docker4Drupal provides Docker images and a preconfigured Compose file for running Drupal locally on Linux, macOS, or Windows. Its repository lists Drupal CMS 2 and vanilla Drupal 11 and 10 images. The stack includes web servers, databases, caches, and search services such as Nginx, Apache, PHP, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Valkey, Redis, Memcached, Varnish, Node.js, Solr, and OpenSearch. Optional tools include Mailpit, Gotenberg, Webgrind, Xhprof viewer, Adminer, phpMyAdmin, Selenium Chrome, and Traefik. Developers can start with bundled vanilla Drupal or mount an existing Drupal codebase. Traefik handles routing, including setups with multiple projects on a shared port or separate ports. Mailpit catches outbound email by default, and OpenSMTPD can be enabled for delivery. The documentation covers Xdebug for web and CLI debugging and IDE configuration such as PHPStorm. Docker is required; Linux users also need Docker Compose. The project is free and open source under the MIT license, and is intended for local development rather than deployment on a server.
