Docker
Docker is not the recommended way to install Shopware 6 on a Mac when it comes to the default way, due to performance issues. You still can have a look at the following possibilities though.
When it comes to using Windows, it's recommended to use Dockware or other ways to install Shopware. See "next steps" paragraph for further reference.
Default way
At least on Linux operating systems, docker installation is the easiest way to get a running Shopware 6. This way you can set up Shopware 6 with just three easy commands:
- 1.Build and start the containers:
1
./psh.phar docker:start
Copied!
- 1.Access the application container:
1
./psh.phar docker:ssh
Copied!
- 1.Execute the installer inside the docker container:
1
./psh.phar install
Copied!
This may take a while since many caches need to be generated on first execution, but only on first execution.
To be sure the installation succeeded, just open the following url in your favorite browser: http://localhost:8000/​
After exploring Shopware 6 you can terminate it with these two commands:
- 1.Leave the shell:
1
exit
Copied!
- 1.Stop the containers:
1
./psh.phar docker:stop
Copied!
Possibilities to use Docker on Mac
Using native mounting with Docker Volumes and docker-sync
If you are working with Mac/OSX and are facing performance issues, you should use docker-sync instead of the default mounting strategy.
Preparation
Download & install
docker-sync from http://docker-sync.io/, which supports OSX, Windows, Linux and FreeBSD. docker-sync uses Ruby, which is pre-installed on OSX. On other operating systems, you might have to install Ruby separately.Enable the use of docker-sync in PSH Console
By default, the usage of
docker-sync is disabled in PSH. To use Docker Volumes with Docker Sync, you must set DOCKER_SYNC_ENABLED to true in your .psh.yaml.override. Create a new entry in the const section like so:1
const:
2
#..
3
DOCKER_SYNC_ENABLED: true
Copied!
That's it. Continue to install Shopware 6 as usual:
- 1.Build and start the containers:
1
./psh.phar docker:start
Copied!
This command creates and starts the containers, watchers, and the sync itself. Running start the first time takes several minutes to complete. Subsequent starts are a lot faster since the images and volumes are reused.
- 1.Access the application container:
1
./psh.phar docker:ssh
Copied!
- 1.Execute the installer inside the Docker container:
1
./psh.phar install
Copied!
Next steps
As next step, you might want to start writing your very own plugin. Head over to Plugin base guide to learn about that topic. Would you like to explore alternative ways to install Shopware? You can install Shopware on Mac with the help of other tools:
