Installing Magento 2

The below example demonstrates the from-scratch setup of the Magento 2 application for local development. A similar process can easily be used to configure an environment of any other type. This assumes that Warden has been previously started via warden svc up as part of the installation procedure.

Note

In addition to the below manual process, there is a Github Template available for Magento 2 <https://github.com/wardenenv/warden-env-magento2>_ allowing for quick setup of new Magento projects. To use this, click the green “Use this template” button to create your own repository based on the template repository, run the init script and update the README with any project specific information.

  1. Create a new directory on your host machine at the location of your choice and then jump into the new directory to get started:

     mkdir -p ~/Sites/exampleproject
 cd ~/Sites/exampleproject

  2. From the root of your new project directory, run env-init to create the .env file with configuration needed for Warden and Docker to work with the project.

     warden env-init exampleproject magento2

    The result of this command is a .env file in the project root (tip: commit this to your VCS to share the configuration with other team members) having the following contents:

     WARDEN_ENV_NAME=exampleproject
 WARDEN_ENV_TYPE=magento2
 WARDEN_WEB_ROOT=/

 TRAEFIK_DOMAIN=exampleproject.test
 TRAEFIK_SUBDOMAIN=app

 WARDEN_DB=1
 WARDEN_ELASTICSEARCH=0
 WARDEN_OPENSEARCH=1
 WARDEN_ELASTICHQ=0
 WARDEN_VARNISH=1
 WARDEN_RABBITMQ=1
 WARDEN_REDIS=1

 OPENSEARCH_VERSION=2.12
 MYSQL_DISTRIBUTION=mariadb
 MYSQL_DISTRIBUTION_VERSION=10.6
 NODE_VERSION=20
 COMPOSER_VERSION=2
 PHP_VERSION=8.3
 PHP_XDEBUG_3=1
 RABBITMQ_VERSION=3.13
 REDIS_VERSION=7.2
 VARNISH_VERSION=7.5

 WARDEN_SYNC_IGNORE=

 WARDEN_ALLURE=0
 WARDEN_SELENIUM=0
 WARDEN_SELENIUM_DEBUG=0
 WARDEN_BLACKFIRE=0
 WARDEN_SPLIT_SALES=0
 WARDEN_SPLIT_CHECKOUT=0
 WARDEN_TEST_DB=0
 WARDEN_MAGEPACK=0

 MAGEPACK_VERSION=2.11

 BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_ID=
 BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_TOKEN=
 BLACKFIRE_SERVER_ID=
 BLACKFIRE_SERVER_TOKEN=

  3. Sign an SSL certificate for use with the project (the input here should match the value of TRAEFIK_DOMAIN in the above .env example file):

     warden sign-certificate exampleproject.test

  4. Next you’ll want to start the project environment:

     warden env up

    Warning

    If you encounter an error about Mounts denied, follow the instructions in the error message and run warden env up again.

  5. Drop into a shell within the project environment. Commands following this step in the setup procedure will be run from within the php-fpm docker container this launches you into:

     warden shell

  6. Configure global Magento Marketplace credentials

     composer global config http-basic.repo.magento.com <username> <password>

    Note

    To locate your authentication keys for Magento 2 repository, reference DevDocs <https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.3/install-gde/prereq/connect-auth.html>_.

    If you have previously configured global credentials, you may skip this step, as ~/.composer/ is mounted into the container from the host machine in order to share composer cache between projects, and also shares the global auth.json from the host machine.

    Use the Public key as your username and the Private key as your password.

  7. Initialize project source files using composer create-project and then move them into place:

     META_PACKAGE=magento/project-community-edition META_VERSION=2.4.x

 composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ \
     "${META_PACKAGE}" /tmp/exampleproject "${META_VERSION}"

 rsync -a /tmp/exampleproject/ /var/www/html/
 rm -rf /tmp/exampleproject/

  8. Install the application and you should be all set:

     ## Install Application
 bin/magento setup:install \
     --backend-frontname=backend \
     --amqp-host=rabbitmq \
     --amqp-port=5672 \
     --amqp-user=guest \

     --db-password=magento \
     --search-engine=opensearch \
     --opensearch-host=opensearch \
     --opensearch-port=9200 \
     --opensearch-index-prefix=magento2 \
     --opensearch-enable-auth=0 \
     --opensearch-timeout=15 \
     --http-cache-hosts=varnish:80 \

     --page-cache-redis-port=6379

 ## Configure Application
 bin/magento config:set --lock-env web/unsecure/base_url \
     "https://${TRAEFIK_SUBDOMAIN}.${TRAEFIK_DOMAIN}/"

 bin/magento config:set --lock-env web/secure/base_url \
     "https://${TRAEFIK_SUBDOMAIN}.${TRAEFIK_DOMAIN}/"

 bin/magento deploy:mode:set -s developer
 bin/magento cache:disable block_html full_page

 bin/magento indexer:reindex
 bin/magento cache:flush

  9. Generate an admin user and configure 2FA for OTP

     ## Generate localadmin user
 ADMIN_PASS="$(pwgen -n1 16)"
 ADMIN_USER=localadmin

 bin/magento admin:user:create \
     --admin-password="${ADMIN_PASS}" \
     --admin-user="${ADMIN_USER}" \
     --admin-firstname="Local" \
     --admin-lastname="Admin" \
     --admin-email="${ADMIN_USER}@example.com"
 printf "u: %s\np: %s\n" "${ADMIN_USER}" "${ADMIN_PASS}"

 ## Configure 2FA provider
 OTPAUTH_QRI=
 # Python 2: TFA_SECRET=$(python -c "import base64; print base64.b32encode('$(pwgen -A1 128)')" | sed 's/=*$//')
 # Python 3:
 TFA_SECRET=$(python3 -c "import base64; print(base64.b32encode(bytearray('$(pwgen -A1 128)', 'ascii')).decode('utf-8'))" | sed 's/=*$//')
 OTPAUTH_URL=$(printf "otpauth://totp/%s%%3Alocaladmin%%40example.com?issuer=%s&secret=%s" \
     "${TRAEFIK_SUBDOMAIN}.${TRAEFIK_DOMAIN}" "${TRAEFIK_SUBDOMAIN}.${TRAEFIK_DOMAIN}" "${TFA_SECRET}"
 )

 bin/magento config:set --lock-env twofactorauth/general/force_providers google
 bin/magento security:tfa:google:set-secret "${ADMIN_USER}" "${TFA_SECRET}"

 printf "%s\n\n" "${OTPAUTH_URL}"
 printf "2FA Authenticator Codes:\n%s\n" "$(oathtool -s 30 -w 10 --totp --base32 "${TFA_SECRET}")"

 segno "${OTPAUTH_URL}" -s 4 -o "pub/media/${ADMIN_USER}-totp-qr.png"
 printf "%s\n\n" "https://${TRAEFIK_SUBDOMAIN}.${TRAEFIK_DOMAIN}/media/${ADMIN_USER}-totp-qr.png?t=$(date +%s)"

    Note

    Use of 2FA is mandatory on Magento 2.4.x and setup of 2FA should be skipped when installing 2.3.x or earlier. Where 2FA is setup manually via UI upon login rather than using the CLI commands above, the 2FA configuration email may be retrieved from the Mailhog service <https://mailhog.warden.test/>_.

  10. Launch the application in your browser:

Note

To completely destroy the exampleproject environment we just created, run warden env down -v to tear down the project’s Docker containers, volumes, etc.
