Acquia Drupal Recommended Settings

The Acquia Drupal Recommended Settings plugin adds the recommended settings to the Drupal project, so developers won't have to edit settings.php manually.

The recommended settings includes:

• The required database credentials.
• Configuration sync directory path.
• File directory path i.e public/private etc.
• Acquia site studio sync directory path.

It allows your websites to be easily installed in both Acquia Cloud IDE & local and deployable on Acquia Cloud.

Installation

Install using Composer

composer require acquia/drupal-recommended-settings

Multi-site features with Acquia DRS

The Drupal Recommended Settings offer the multi-site feature out of the box. To configure a multi-site, run the following command, and the plugin will automatically generate the settings.php in the backend.

drush site:install --uri site1

The plugin offers various events that allow you to implement custom logic based on when these events are triggered. You can find the examples of such implementations from here.

Quick examples

Generate settings with default credentials for the default site:

./vendor/bin/drush init:settings

Set up a new site with custom credentials for the local environment:

./vendor/bin/drush init:settings --database=site1 --username=myuser --password=mypass --host=127.0.0.1 --port=1234 --uri=site1
