Versioning & Dependencies
Shopware 6 production template
The Shopware 6 production template enables you to build, package and deploy Shopware 6 to production shops. This template is also used to build the official packages distributed by shopware. 
GitHub - shopware/production: Shopware 6 production template
GitHub
The template is optimized for production usage and contains basic development tooling. It's intended as a basis for project customizations, which are usually done by agencies.
If you want to contribute to the Shopware Platform or develop store plugins, you should use the development template.
Branches and stability
In each commit a composer.lock is contained to ensure that the version being deployed is the version that was tested in our CI. We currently provide the following branches:
6.3: stable minor and patch releases (v6.3.0.0-rc2, v6.3.0.1, v6.3.1.0, v6.1.*, but not v6.4.0.0)
trunk: stable major, minor and patch releases (v6.3.0.0, v6.3.1.0, v6.4.0.0, v6.5.0.0...)
The 6.3 branch contains all the 6.3 releases. It's stable now and only gets non-breaking changes. (security issues are an exception).
The trunk branch contains the newest stable release, including major releases. That may result in plugins being incompatible, so be careful.
Starting with 6.3.0.0, we use a slightly modified version of SemVer. The pattern looks like this: 6.MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. Examples:
6.3.2.5 - Major=3, Minor=2, Patch=5
6.4.1.0 - Major=4, Minor=1, Patch=0

Requirements
To get an overview of the requirements see the following guide of your documentation first:
Installation overview
NPM and Node are only required during the build process and for development. If you don't have javascript customizations, it's not required at all. Because the storefront and admin are pre-build.
If you are using a separate build server, consider having NPM and Node as build-only requirements. Your operating application server doesn't require any of these to run Shopware 6.
Setup and install
To set up the environment and install with a basic setup run the following commands:
1
# clone newest 6.3 patch version from github 
2
git clone --branch=6.3 https://github.com/shopware/production shopware
3
cd shopware
4
​
5
# install shopware and dependencies according to the composer.lock 
6
composer install
7
​
8
# setup the environment
9
bin/console system:setup
10
# or create .env yourself, if you need more control
11
# create jwt secret: bin/console system:generate-jwt-secret
12
# create app secret: APP_SECRET=$(bin/console system:generate-app-secret)
13
# create .env
14
​
15
# create database with a basic setup (admin user and storefront sales channel)
16
bin/console system:install --create-database --basic-setup
17
​
18
# or use the interactive installer in the browser: /recovery/install/index.php
Copied!
Update
To update Shopware 6 just run this:
1
# pull newest changes from origin
2
git pull origin
3
​
4
# the (pre|post)-(install|update)-cmd will execute all steps automatically
5
composer install
Copied!
Customization
This project is called production template because it can be used to create project specific configurations. The template provides a basic setup that is equivalent to the official distribution. If you need customization, the workflow could look like this:
Fork template
Make customization
Add dependencies
Add project specific plugins
Update var/plugins.json (bin/console bundle:dump, paths need to be relative to the project root)
Build administration/storefront
Update composer.json and composer.lock
Commit changes

Managing Dependencies
Composer
You only need to require the things you want. If you only want to run shopware 6 in headless mode, your composer.json could look like this:
1
{
2
    "name": "acme/shopware-production",
3
    "type": "project",
4
    "license": "MIT",
5
    "config": {
6
        "optimize-autoloader": true
7
    },
8
    "prefer-stable": true,
9
    "minimum-stability": "stable",
10
    "autoload": {
11
        "psr-4": {
12
            "Shopware\\Production\\": "src/"
13
        }
14
    },
15
    "require": {
16
        "php": "~7.2",
17
        "composer/package-versions-deprecated": "^1.8.0",
18
        "shopware/core": "~v6.3.0"
19
    }
20
}
Copied!
Require project plugins
If you have project specific plugins, place them under custom/static-plugins/{YourPlugin} and require them in your composer.json.
Note: The plugins needs a (stable) version to work with the default stability stable.
1
composer require "exampleorg/myplugin"
Copied!
External plugins in private repositories can also be required by adding the repository to your composer.json. To learn more about the usage of private repositories, see here: 
Repositories - Composer
Update shopware packages
Run the following command, to update all shopware dependencies:
1
composer update "shopware/*"
Copied!
Deployment
Docker
The DOCKERFILE and docker-compose.yml service definitions should work but are still experimental.
Storage and caches
The following directories should be shared by all app servers:
1
.
2
├── config
3
│   ├── jwt # ro - should be written on first deployment
4
│   ├── secrets # rw shared - see, if you want to use it: https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-4-4-encrypted-secrets-management 
5
├── public
6
│   ├── bundles # rw shared - Written by `assets:install` / `theme:compile`, can also be initiated by the administration
7
│   ├── media # rw shared
8
│   ├── theme # rw shared - generated themes by `theme:compile/change`
9
│   └── thumbnail # rw shared - media thumbnails
10
│   └── sitemap # rw shared - generated sitemaps
11
├── var
12
│   ├── cache # rw local - contains the containers, which contains additional cache directories (twig, translations, etc)
13
│   ├── log # a - append only, can be change in the monlog config
14
​
15
ro - Readonly after deployment
16
rw shared - read and write access, it should be shared across the app servers
17
rw local - locale read and write access
Copied!
Some of these directories like public can also be changed to different flysystem to host the files on s3 for example.
