Lando

This article describes one way to use Live Dev Porter with Lando, which leverages the container so no host dependencies are required. You will need to use lando ldp ... when executing commands. In this example we're setting up a local environment called dev in the configuration.

Base Path Must Be A Container Path

You must define _basepath using a container path, NOT a path on the host machine.

_.live_devporter/config.yml or _.live_devporter/config.local.yml

environments:
  dev:
    base_path: /app
    ...

Correct Database Plugin

You must use the correct database plugin. Surprisingly, do not use one of the lando* database plugins, (which are only for running LDP outside of the container). Instead use either the env or mysql database plugin:

_.live_devporter/config.yml or _.live_devporter/config.local.yml

environments:
  dev:
    ...
    databases:
      drupal:
        plugin: env
        path: .env
        var: DATABASE_URL

Add Tooling

Add the following so that lando ldp can be used.

.lando.yml

tooling:
  ldp:
    service: appserver
    description: Run Live Dev Porter from the container.
    cmd: "/app/vendor/bin/ldp"
    user: root
