The Lando Drupal 7 recipe does not come with mail functionality out-of-the-box. However, DrupalEasy has written straight-forward documentation on how to enable server mail functionality.

This is helpful for enabling mail notifications for password resets, trigger/Rules configuration.

Process

1. Add the following configuration to your .lando.yml recipe:

   proxy:
     mailhog:
       - mail.lemp.lndo.site
   services:
     mailhog:
       type: mailhog
       hogfrom:
         - appserver

2. Edit mail.lemp.lndo.site to better match, mirror, or apply to your local Lando website.

3. Run "lando rebuild". Caution should be used when using using the 'rebuild' command, as while most services retain their data during a rebuild, some may not. 

4. Running "lando start" will now initialize a Mailhog server, which will siphon all Drupal-generated mail into that inbox.

Mercury Reader requires an extra php extension outside of what lando's drupal10 recipe typically provides.

Process

Adjust your lando.yml Landofile to include the following:

services:  
  appserver:
    build_as_root:
      - apt-get update -y
      - apt-get install libxslt1-dev -y
      - docker-php-ext-install xsl
      - docker-php-ext-enable xsl

Rebuild your lando environment to install the libraries:

lando rebuild -y

1. First install WSL version 2. You do not need VSCode or Hyper-V and may not even need to install a specific version of Ubuntu (20.04 at the time of writing), as it usually defaults to the latest version.
2. Next, install Docker Desktop for Windows (on Windows, NOT within the Ubuntu VM).
3. Then, install lando's .exe from github (on Windows, NOT within the Ubuntu VM).

The below scenario assumes you have Lando installed on your own machine for local development.

Kickstarting a Drupal 9 website

Install Drupal via composer:

composer create-project drupal-composer/drupal-project:10.x-dev SITENAME --no-interaction

Enter SITENAME and init lando.

cd SITENAME
lando init

During the lando init process:

• Select the appropriate recipe (drupal9) for lando.
• Provide the webroot directory (web).
• Provide a shortcut name for the lando app (your choice and preference).

Once completed, now start up your virtual environment with:

lando start

Lando will kickstart the virtual filesystems in your specified root directory and initialize a locally-hosted database and web server (using Docker).

When you see BOOMSHAKALAKA!, Lando has configured all the environment configurations and is ready to party.

Drupal Console, Drush and Lando

Lando provides scaffolding for tools like Drupal Console and Drush.

To use these tools within Lando, just pre-empt your command with lando to make sure it's running within the Lando interface.

For example, to install a new module in Drupal 8 using Drupal Console, use:

lando drupal moi module_name

Or, to clear all caches using Drupal Console, use:

lando drupal cc all

Please see the Lando Drupal 8 documentation for a full list of tools.
