Pimcore Project Skeleton

This skeleton should be used by experienced Pimcore developers for starting a new project from the ground up. If you are new to Pimcore, it's better to start with our demo package, listed below 😉

Getting started

COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 composer create-project pimcore/skeleton my-project
cd ./my-project
./vendor/bin/pimcore-install

• Point your virtual host to my-project/public
• Open https://your-host/admin in your browser
• Done! 😎

Docker

You can also use Docker to setup a new Pimcore Installation. You don't need to have a PHP environment with composer installed.

Prerequisits

• Your user must be allowed to run docker commands (directly or via sudo).
• You must have docker-compose installed.
• Your user must be allowed to change file permissions (directly or via sudo).

Follow these steps

1. Initialize the skeleton project using the pimcore/pimcore image docker run -u `id -u`:`id -g` --rm -v `pwd`:/var/www/html pimcore/pimcore:php8.1-latest composer create-project pimcore/skeleton my-project

2. Go to your new project cd my-project/

3. Part of the new project is a docker compose file

   • Run echo `id -u`:`id -g` to retrieve your local user and group id
   • Open the docker-compose.yml file in an editor, uncomment all the user: '1000:1000' lines and update the ids if necessary
   • Start the needed services with docker-compose up -d

4. Install pimcore and initialize the DB docker-compose exec php vendor/bin/pimcore-install --mysql-host-socket=db --mysql-username=pimcore --mysql-password=pimcore --mysql-database=pimcore

   • When asked for admin user and password: Choose freely
   • This can take a while, up to 20 minutes

5. ✔️ DONE - You can now visit your pimcore instance:

   • The frontend: http://localhost
   • The admin interface, using the credentials you have chosen above: http://localhost/admin
