How to Install Drupal Commerce on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Drupal Commerce is a powerful eCommerce solution built on top of the Drupal Content Management System. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Drupal Commerce on Fedora CoreOS Latest using Podman containers.

Prerequisites

• A Linux system running Fedora CoreOS Latest with Podman already installed.
• Basic knowledge of using the Linux command line.

Step 1: Prepare the Environment

Before we install Drupal Commerce, we need to prepare the environment by creating a new container and setting up the necessary directories.

To create a new container, we will use the following command:

sudo podman run -it --name mycommerce -p 8080:80 -v commerce:/var/www/html  drupal:9.2.7-php8.0-fpm-alpine3.14

• -it: Starts the container in interactive mode.
• --name: Gives a name to the container.
• -p: Maps the container Port 80 to the Host port 8080.
• -v: Mounts the directory commerce inside the container to /var/www/html.

Step 2: Install Drupal Commerce

Now that our environment is ready, we can start installing Drupal Commerce.

To install Drupal Commerce, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/.

Follow the on-screen instructions to install Drupal Commerce. When prompted for the database settings, use the following details:

• Database name: mydatabase
• Database username: myuser
• Database password: mypassword
• Database host: localhost

Step 3: Enable Commerce Modules

Once Drupal Commerce is installed, we need to enable some modules for it to work correctly.

Open a terminal and log in to the container's shell with the following command:

sudo podman exec -it mycommerce bash

Once inside the container's shell, run the following command to enable the commerce modules:

cd /var/www/html && \
  drush en commerce commerce_product commerce_price  \
  commerce_cart commerce_checkout commerce_order -y

The drush command is a command-line tool for Drupal that makes it easier to manage the website from the command line.

Step 4: Access Drupal Commerce

With Drupal Commerce now installed and set up, you can access it using the following URL: http://localhost:8080/.

You can now start adding products and configuring your online store.
