Visual Distribution Operator

The Visual Distribution Operator (VDO) management system helps developers manage the base code development work cycle for custom recipes/distributions. Constructing your Linux development computer or servers.

Products:

Where custom distributions/profiles base code are maintained.

• /var/www/html/products

DEV:

Where development, enhancements, and optimization work rounds on the distribution/profile.

• /var/www/html/dev

TEST:

Where testing and functional automated testing on the distribution/profile.

• /var/www/html/test

Demos:

Where all demos templates, and default content work on the distribution/profile.

• /var/www/html/demos

Sandboxes:

Where all sandbox templates, and private custom content work on the distribution/profile.

• /var/www/html/sandboxes

Projects:

Where development on a project based on the distribution/profile product.

• /var/www/html/projects

Profiles:

Where other contrib or private installation profiles are kept.

• /var/www/html/profiles

Themes:

Where other contrib or private themes are kept.

• /var/www/html/themes

Modules:

Where other contrib or private modules are kept.

• /var/www/html/modules

VDO Configs and Scripts:

Where the general VDO config and script libraries are kept.

• /var/www/html/vdo

VDO Website:

Where the VDO website interface is located.
Which a domain could points at it, like vdo.local or vdo.devhub.company-name.com

• /var/www/html/web

Please backup the /var/www/html and mysql databases;

Try VDO with new systems only.

After Installing Ubuntu for example you could run the following bash command to setup LAMP on Ubuntu systems.
If you get the VDO bash files from

sudo rm -rf /var/www/html
cd /var/www/
sudo chmod 775 -R . ; sudo chown www-data:$USER -R .
git clone --branch '11.0.x' https://github.com/webship/vdo-project.git
mv /var/www/vdo-project /var/www/html
cd /var/www/html/
rm -rf .git
composer install -vvv
rm -rf composer.lock composer.json
sudo chmod 775 -R . ; sudo chown www-data:$USER -R .

Then you could edit the VDO config file to work for your system:

Edit the following file with vim or any selected text file editor

vim /var/www/html/vdo/config/vdo.settings.yml

You will see something like:

vdo:
  root: /var/www/html
  path: /var/www/html/vdo
  scripts: /var/www/html/vdo/scripts
  config: /var/www/html/vdo/config
  host: localhost
  web: http://localhost/vdo
  backups: /var/www/html/backups
database:
  username: DATABASE_USERNAME
  password: DATABASE_PASSWORD
  host: DATABASE_HOST
  port: 3306
  namespace: Drupal\\Core\\Database\\Driver\\mysql
  driver: mysql
  collation: utf8mb4_general_ci
account:
  name: DRUPAL_WEBMASTER_NAME
  pass: DRUPAL_WEBMASTER_PASSWORD
  mail: DRUPAL_WEBMASTER_EMIL
config_sync_directory: ../config/sync
workspaces:
  - products
  - dev
  - test
  - demos
  - sandboxes
  - profiles
  - modules
  - themes
  - libraries
  - forked

After you have made your changes you could install the global variables.

cd  /var/www/html/vdo/scripts/install
bash install.sh

Close all terminal windows!

And open a new one
Test that we are ready by

echo ${vdo_config}

If "/var/www/html/vdo/config" was printed,which mean we are ready for the next step.

To test that the VDO settings are working
If you go to DEV you can find many bash files that could help you in your development of the profile.

Drupal Recommended project example:

cd /var/www/html/dev/
bash cmd-vdo-drupal10-recommended-project.sh drupal10x05x04 --install

Varbase distribution example:

cd /var/www/html/dev/
bash cmd-vdo-varbase10-1-x-project.sh varbase10x01b1 --install --add-users

Vardoc distribution example:

cd /var/www/html/dev/
bash cmd-vdo-vardoc4-0-x-project.sh vardoc40x1 --install --add-users

Webship distribution example:

cd /var/www/html/dev/
bash cmd-vdo-webship11-0-x-project.sh webship10x1 --install --add-users

Cucumber distribution example:

cd /var/www/html/dev/
bash cmd-vdo-cucumber11-0-x-project.sh cucumber90x1 --install --add-users

Webships distribution example:

cd /var/www/html/dev/
bash cmd-vdo-webships2-0-x-project.sh webships2x00x01b1 --install --add-users

Create custom VDO bash:

Having a new dev or test bash files to add more work or commands in them. Add the heading in a new file then use any of the ready variables by the VDO bootstrap settings or the workspace settings or values.

Example:

cd /var/www/html/dev/
vim cmd-vdo-example.sh

Then in the file, you could add the following:

#!/bin/usr/env bash

# Bootstrap VDO.
. ${vdo_scripts}/bootstrap.sh ;

# Load workspace settings and extra lists.
eval $(parse_yaml ${vdo_config}/workspace.dev.settings.yml);

echo "*---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*";
echo "|  Build Drupal Project  and add 100 modules in one command";
echo "*---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*";

Have your own YML files. Read them in bash files as arraies of variables.And use them in custom bash file in the way you like:

eval $(parse_yaml ${path_to_the_yml_file}/name-of-file.yml);

Have a look at the number of bash files like the themes, profiles. or test in
https://github.com/webship/vdo-project
Learn by example. For sure have your naming or coding style or any language in the bash files, like python, C, PHP, or normal Bash.
