Verify Installation

If the installation has completed without errors, then you should be able to check the following:

The repo that was checked out in Step 1 of the installation instructions is hosted on your dev computer, and is mounted into each of the docker containers. As you make changes to the files on your dev computer, they are instantly updated in all of your local docker containers.

Local boston.gov website

The production/public website is hosted by Acquia and can be accessed at https://www.boston.gov.

The local development version of the public website can be viewed at: https://boston.lndo.site. This local copy of the Drupal website is served (by Apache) from the appserverdocker container, and its content is stored and retrieved from a MySQL database in the database docker container.

You will find the CityOfBoston/patterns repo cloned into the root/patterns folder on your host dev computer.

Local Fleet website

The production/public patterns library is hosted by City of Boston from our AWS/S3 infrastructure and can be accessed at https://patterns.boston.gov.

The local development version of the patterns library is hosted by Fleet and can be viewed at https://patterns.lndo.site. This local copy of the Fleet website is served (by Node/Fractal) from the patternsdocker container.

You will find the CityOfBoston/patterns repo cloned into the root/patterns folder on your host dev computer.

The gulp, stencil, fractal and other services running in thepatterns docker container will automatically build the local fleet static website into root/patterns/public from the underlying files in real-time as they are changed.

Local Patterns CDN

The production/public patterns CDN is hosted by City of Boston from our AWS/S3 infrastructure at https://patterns.boston.gov.

The local development version of the CDN is hosted by Fleet at https://patterns.lndo.site. This local CDN is served (by Node/Fractal) from the patternsdocker container.

You will find the CityOfBoston/patterns repo cloned into the root/patterns folder on your host dev computer.

The gulp, stencil, fractal and other services running in thepatterns docker container will automatically build the local fleet static website into root/patterns/public from the underlying files in real-time as they are changed.
