Make sure you have [Docker CE](https://store.docker.com/search?type=edition&offering=community) installed and running, then run `docker-compose up -d`. After a minute or two, you should be able to access your Drupal site at `http://localhost/`. > To install Drupal, the default Drupal VM database name, username, and password are all `drupal`. Shutting down the environment ----------------------------- [](#shutting-down-the-environment) When you're finished developing, run the command: ``` docker-compose stop ``` And once you're ready to develop again, run: ``` docker-compose start ``` If you want to completely clear out the local environment (e.g. to start over or if you're finished with a project), run: ``` docker-compose down ``` Updating the Docker Compose file -------------------------------- [](#updating-the-docker-compose-file) The Docker Compose file should be updated automatically any time you update to a newer version of this plugin. However, you can also manually force the file to be updated by running: ``` composer drupal-vm-docker-update ``` You should then tell Docker to restart anything that needs to be restarted with `docker-compose up -d`.

About the Author ---------------- [](#about-the-author) [Jeff Geerling](https://www.jeffgeerling.com/) created the Drupal VM Docker Composer Plugin in 2018 for a more efficient Drupal site and core/contrib development workflow. ### Health Score 33 — LowBetter than 72% of packages Maintenance17 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity23 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity68 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~87 days Recently: every ~153 days Total 8 Last Release 2394d ago Major Versions 0.0.7 → 1.0.02018-04-08 ### Community Maintainers ![](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/481677?v=4)[Jeff Geerling](/maintainers/geerlingguy)[@geerlingguy](https://github.com/geerlingguy) --- Top Contributors [![geerlingguy](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/481677?v=4)](https://github.com/geerlingguy "geerlingguy (15 commits)") --- Tags composerdockerdrupaldrupal-vmlocallocal-environmentpluginvm ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/geerlingguy-drupal-vm-docker/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/geerlingguy-drupal-vm-docker/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/geerlingguy-drupal-vm-docker) ``` ### Alternatives [phpro/grumphp A composer plugin that enables source code quality checks. 4.3k16.7M1.0k](/packages/phpro-grumphp)[symfony/runtime Enables decoupling PHP applications from global state 74798.8M997](/packages/symfony-runtime)[johnpbloch/wordpress-core-installer A custom installer to handle deploying WordPress with composer 21911.3M50](/packages/johnpbloch-wordpress-core-installer)[roots/wordpress-core-installer A Composer custom installer to handle installing WordPress as a dependency 4216.6M50](/packages/roots-wordpress-core-installer)[drupal/core-composer-scaffold A flexible Composer project scaffold builder. 5344.1M552](/packages/drupal-core-composer-scaffold)[drupal/core-project-message Adds a message after Composer installation. 2124.7M200](/packages/drupal-core-project-message) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
