But as long as we are not contradicted by the results of the experience, it is the most agile option. Even if it seems old or vintage or an ugly solution ¯_( ツ )_/¯. Therefore, I concluded that it was more optimal to use VirtualBox directly. This workshop is for people not involved with Drupal to practice quickly and be motivated to use Drupal in their daily life.This workshop requires no time wasted on system and environment configurations and adjustments.This workshop is for people with different environments (Windows, Linux, Mac), knowledge and experience (including case = zero).Yes, I know pre-cooked Docker-based solutions like Lando or DDEV.Yes, I know how to use Docker and Docker-Compose.So as almost no existing solution convinced me for these purposes, I built my own: I decided to set up my own virtual machine for these activities, a drupal.ova ready to import into VirtualBox and start practicing, with everything you need as standard. I needed something transversal, preconfigured, agile and with all the initial work already done. What ended up with a Drupal deployed in the web browser, then turned out to be a hell of a question of installations and command-line access. You’ve got two hours for a workshop and you don’t want to spend them explaining what Docker is and how to use it.īut without much luck: what was agile in deploying on the one hand, greatly limited the customization on the other. So thinking about it I was trying multiplatform solutions, in a pre-configured way and that allowed to assimilate quickly people with little experience in virtualization / containerization, as well as avoid all the tedious parts of common installations - configuration. Well, in my experience one of the main limitations in a workshop is the time devoted to configurations in general and in particular to some basic alignment of environments, enough so that the fact of giving support in situ eat the time of practice and exercise. Due to an accumulation of circumstances, opportunities and total absence of sense of danger, between the last quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020 I will be trying to transmit in the best possible way (those laughs) how Drupal works and how we can approach projects based on Drupal 8. It seems that for a semester and with some continuity, I will be trying to explain how Drupal works in different places and environments. ![]() Download the Virtual Machineģ- Read the slides from the former folder and follow the steps.

This year, the event has been organized in the city of Zaragoza, capital of the “autonomous community” (region with self-government in the Spanish state) of Aragon, in the north of the country.Ī very beautiful city that in winter accentuates even more its attractiveness: Take a look of Zaragoza in the Flickr albums of the City Council. It has been a very enriching meeting and I liked it very much from a technical point of view, but now I want to write mainly about what has been my personal contribution to the encounter: an introduction workshop to the backend of Drupal 8. ![]() ![]() I’m typing while I recreate in my head various anecdotes, details, conversations and above all, learning. ![]() Picture from Unsplash, user Ryan Hafey write these lines (or I start them) just as I return from Drupal Day Spain 2019, which this year took place in the city of Zaragoza.
