Tooling
By default, each Lando LEMP recipe will also ship with helpful dev utilities.
This means you can use things like drush
, composer
and php
via Lando and avoid mucking up your actual computer trying to manage php
versions and tooling.
lando composer Runs composer commands
lando db-export [file] Exports database from a service into a file
lando db-import <file> Imports a dump file into database service
lando mysql|psql Drops into a MySQL (or psql) shell on a database service
lando php Runs php commands
Usage examples
# Download a dependency with drush
lando composer require phpunit/phpunit --dev
# Run composer tests
lando db-import dump.sql.gz
# Drop into a mysql shell
lando mysql
# Check the app's installed php extensions
lando php -m
You can also run lando
from inside your app directory for a complete list of commands. This is always advisable as your list of commands may not be 100% the same as above. For example, if you set database: postgres
, you will get lando psql
instead of lando mysql
.
Using xdebug
This is just a passthrough option to the xdebug setting that exists on all our php services. The tl;dr
is xdebug: true
enables and configures the php xdebug extension and xdebug: false
disables it.
recipe: lemp
config:
xdebug: true|false
However, for more information we recommend you consult the php service documentation.
Importing Your Database
Once you've started up your LEMP site, you will need to pull in your database and files before you can really start to dev all the dev. Pulling your files is as easy as downloading an archive and extracting it to the correct location. Importing a database can be done using our helpful lando db-import
command.
# Grab your database dump
curl -fsSL -o database.sql.gz "https://url.to.my.db/database.sql.gz"
# Import the database
# NOTE: db-import can handle uncompressed, gzipped or zipped files
# Due to restrictions in how Docker handles file sharing your database
# dump MUST exist somewhere inside of your app directory.
lando db-import database.sql.gz

command over here.
