Using docker-sync

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.

• For OSX, see OSX.
• For Windows, see Windows.
• For Linux, see Linux.
• See the list of alternatives here

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:

const:
  #..
  DOCKER_SYNC_ENABLED: true

That's it. Continue to install Shopware 6 as usual:

1. Build and start the containers:

   > ./psh.phar docker:start

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.

2. Access the application container:

   > ./psh.phar docker:ssh

3. Execute the installer inside the Docker container:

   > ./psh.phar install
