Development

To use development mode, we recommend to use docker-compose and, optionally, Makefile.

A quick setup of development:

KOHAENV=dev make provision

Makefile

run make help for all targets.

Targets specific to development mode:

make dump_kohadb    : Dumps Koha database to /tmp/kohadump.sql
restore_kohadb      : Restores Koha database from /tmp/kohadump.sql
delete_mysql_server : Stops and removes mysql server
delete_kohadb       : stop mysql_server and deletes Koha database entirely
load_testdata       : Load optional test data
reset_git           : Resets git by removing and doing new shallow clone
reset_git_hard      : Resets git by removing and doing new shallow clone
patch               : Apply patches from bugzilla, needs PATCHES="<bugid> <bugid> <bugid>"

Docker compose

to get environment up and running

cd kohadev/docker-compose && source docker-compose.env && docker-compose -f common.yml -f dev.yml up -d
