Webship Installer

Webship helps web developers ship websites in a swift way. On 12.0.x it is the installer profile of the Website project: it lists the site templates, applies the one you pick, then uninstalls itself.

What you get

An installer that turns a fresh project into a working site. It lists the site templates, applies the recipes of the one you pick, sets the theme and adds the demo content.

• Webship Starter: a site to manage software, with documentation, products and releases, and a newsletter.
• Website Starter: a company or product website.
• Webship Portal: the Webship.co portal, with Webtheme.
• Built with the UI Suite UIkit theme, UIkit and HTMX, on top of Drupal and Display Builder.
• Curated patches via webship/patches and webship/drupal-patches, and automated testing on GitLab CI.

Webship documentation

See the Webship README.

Setup Webship Locally with:

Webship on the website project with DDEV

mkdir -p ~/workspace/projects/my-website
cd ~/workspace/projects/my-website
ddev config --project-type=drupal11 --docroot=web --php-version=8.4
ddev start
ddev composer create-project drupal/website
ddev drush site:install ../recipes/webship_starter -y --account-name=webmaster --site-name="My Website"
ddev launch

Webship in the browser with DDEV

mkdir -p ~/workspace/projects/my-website
cd ~/workspace/projects/my-website
ddev config --project-type=drupal11 --docroot=web --php-version=8.4
ddev start
ddev composer create-project drupal/website
ddev launch

The installer asks for the site name, the site template and the admin account.

We love to help with

• Setting up Automated Functional Testing for projects.
• Writing Cucumber and Gherkin scenarios for web apps.
• Webship-js, built on Playwright and Cucumber-js, with general step definitions.
• Tests run headless in GitLab CI, and locally with DDEV. Playwright ships its own browsers, so there is no Selenium server or web-driver setup involved.
