CMS & Websites solution

Run Drupal Locally with FlyEnv

Drupal projects commonly pair PHP with a database, a web server, and project-specific dependency tooling. FlyEnv manages the local runtimes and services around that Drupal setup.

About Drupal

Drupal is an open-source CMS for content-rich and highly configurable websites.

Project resources

For installation commands, supported versions, and project-specific configuration, refer to the official Drupal documentation.

Typical local stack

The exact services depend on the project, its release, and its local configuration. This is a common local setup, not a fixed requirement.

PHP
Composer
MySQL / MariaDB / PostgreSQL
Nginx / Apache / Caddy
Redis

Component	Typical role
PHP	Runs the Drupal application.
Composer	May manage project dependencies.
MySQL / MariaDB / PostgreSQL	Stores site content and settings.
Nginx / Apache / Caddy	Serves the local website.
Redis	May support caching when configured.

How FlyEnv helps

Run the database type selected by the Drupal project.
Use readable site URLs
Set up a local domain and HTTPS for browser testing.
Keep services together
Start the site, database, cache, and web server as one local group.
