Simplify Drupal Development with Docker and Lando

Andrea Corda shared an insightful blog post on setting up a local environment for Drupal development using Lando and Docker. Traditional methods like Nginx or LAMPP often require intricate configurations, making setup time-consuming. Lando, built on Docker, streamlines this process by providing a standardized, containerized environment that is easy to manage and replicate. 

Docker must be installed first, followed by Lando, which simplifies the creation and configuration of Drupal environments through commands and pre-configured services. Key advantages include consistency across machines, isolation of project dependencies, simplicity in setup, and portability of environments. 

The post guides you through the installation of Docker and Lando, creating and configuring a new Lando project, starting the environment, and installing Drupal. Lando also offers tools like Drush and Composer for efficient Drupal management. This method enhances development efficiency by reducing setup time and minimizing configuration errors, as demonstrated by the Geonovation Team in their projects.
