What is Drumkit

Drumkit is a collection of scripts and templates designed to standardize and integrate some of the most frequent tasks we encounter in the local development of Drupal sites.

It includes the abilty to:

Initialize a new Drupal project on Lando
Initialize and publish a collection of Packer images for use in CI deployment
Initialize and run a documentation site for the project using the Hugo static site generator
Install gitlab-runner locally for testing of Gitlab CI pipelines before pushing changes
Integrate with Ansible and Aegir for provisioning and deployment to production systems

Quick Start

Drumkit is installed on a project-by-project basis, as a git submodule.

To add drumkit to an existing Drupal project, run the following command in the root directory of the project:

wget -O - https://drumk.it/installer | /bin/bash

Drumkit is self-documenting

make help - Print a list of available make targets with one-line description

Note: This is not a comprehensive list of all targets in the library, but an overview of the ones that are intended to be called directly from the command line

Common Commands

Drumkit is built atop GNU Make, a ubiquitous build tool present on all Unixes. As such, all Drumkit commands must be run from the root of your project, and are prefaced by make.

The primary use case for drumkit is spinning up and configuring new projects, including:

packer images
ansible roles
drupal sites
hugo document sites
aegir instances

There is a high-level target provided for each of these types of projects.

A list of the currently available project types is included in the make help.

New projects are started with commands of the form make init-project-[project type]
