lando

Is there a command similar to docker exec in lando?

We are using our develpment environment in a lando and non lando context alike. Is there a way to trigger a shell script from outside lando similar to docker exec ?

lando exec does not work obvisously and it is also not part of the standard commands, but maybe tehre is a way to create it or add it as a plugin?

Solution

  • It turned out, that lando has this build in as part of the tooling api. It does not allow a "freestyle" command, but you can predefine any usefull shortcut you like in the .lando.yml.

    A simple example in our case:

    name: my_project
recipe: drupal9
config:
  database: mariadb
  drush: ^10
  php: '7.4'
  webroot: ./web
tooling:
  cex:
    service: appserver
    description: Export the drupal config
    cmd: './scripts/cex.sh'
  cim:
    service: appserver
    description: Install dependencies and import the latest config.
    cmd: './scripts/cim.sh'

    If you need root permissions, just add user: root

    In the example above, you can simply call

    lando cex or lando cim, to trigger the custom commands.
