SparkFabrik Drupal Container Context

Reference for working with SparkFabrik Drupal projects in local development.

When to Use

• Running commands inside the tools container

• Accessing Drupal services from containers or host

• Using make targets or fs-cli commands

• Debugging local development environment

Container Access

Interactive Shell (Recommended)

Open interactive shell in tools container

make drupal-cli

All subsequent commands run inside the container

Single Command Execution

Run a single command in tools container

docker compose run --rm -it drupal-tools <command>

Examples

docker compose run --rm -it drupal-tools drush status docker compose run --rm -it drupal-tools curl -sI http://drupal-nginx/

Service URLs

From Inside the Container

When running commands inside drupal-tools container, services are accessible by their container name.

To discover running services:

List running services

docker compose ps

Example: if you see "drupal-nginx" service, access it at http://drupal-nginx

Common pattern: Service names in docker compose ps correspond to their hostnames inside the container network (e.g., drupal-nginx → http://drupal-nginx ).

Example:

From inside container

curl -sI http://drupal-nginx/node/1

From Outside the Container (Host Machine)

Use fs-cli to get external URLs:

List all service URLs

fs-cli pkg:get-urls

Get Drupal URL only

fs-cli pkg:get-urls | grep drupal-nginx | awk '{ print $2 }'

Example output: https://drupal.projectname.sparkfabrik.loc:80

Example:

From host machine

curl -sI https://drupal.projectname.sparkfabrik.loc/

Note: Replace projectname with your actual project name from the fs-cli pkg:get-urls output.

Common Make Targets

List all available make targets

make help

From inside the container (make drupal-cli ):
