Running Drupal CMS on Upsun: Simplified Setup Guide
Setting up Drupal CMS on Upsun has been streamlined in a recent guide by Platform.sh, making it easier than ever to deploy the popular content management system on the Upsun platform. Despite its new release, Drupal CMS remains built on the familiar Drupal core, ensuring seamless compatibility with Upsun’s infrastructure.
The guide breaks the process into three main steps: obtaining Drupal's code, adding the required Upsun configuration files, and pushing the project to an Upsun account. Users are encouraged to sign up for a free Upsun trial and, optionally, install the Upsun CLI for enhanced convenience.
Key prerequisites include basic tools like Git, Composer, and a working terminal shell. The tutorial also introduces a handy composer scaffold plugin, simplifying the setup by auto-configuring database connections and essential files for Upsun compatibility.
Deployment is as straightforward as a Git push, linking the local repository to Upsun. Once live, users can extend Drupal with custom modules and themes through Git commits. Any setup glitches, like PHP errors, are quickly addressed via simple cache-clearing commands.
This guide reinforces Drupal CMS’s accessibility while showcasing Upsun’s developer-friendly hosting capabilities.
