TYPO3-Project-Template with webpack encore

This project was build, to test and demonstrate the use of Webpack Encore with TYPO3-CMS.

System requirements

• Docker installed and running
• DDEV installed
• Node.js installed

How to start a new project

1. Make a new project directory and change into it

mkdir myProject
cd myProject

2. Clone this repository

git clone --single-branch --branch main [email protected]:Starraider/devNewProject.git .
git submodule update --init --recursive

3. Disconnect your project from original github and git

git remote rm origin
rm -rf .git
rm .gitmodules

4. Initialize your own git repository

git init

5. Push your git repository to Github

Usually VS Code asks you to generate a new Github repository when you make your first git commit.

6. Change project name from devNewProject to your own project name

Replace "devNewProject" with your own project name in these files:

• .ddev/config.yaml
• composer.json
• public/typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php
• Build/package.json

7. Change repository URL

Replace the repository URL "https://github.com/Starraider/devNewProject.git" with your own repository URL in these files:

• composer.json
• Build/package.json

8. Install node dependencies

cd Build
yarn install

9. Start DDEV and install dependencies

ddev start
ddev composer install

10. Change settings in .env

Open file .env in your editor. Change SITE_BASE= to the generated URL, which is shown after ddev start. Change TYPO3__DB__Connections__Default__host= to the generated db container name, which is shown during ddev start. Restart ddev restart.

11. Restore database and files

ddev db-restore
ddev fileadmin-restore

12. Generate webpack files

cd Build/
yarn encore dev

If you get an error message, maybe you have to change your node.js version with nvm use system.

13. Launch local website

ddev restart
ddev launch typo3

14. Login

Username: Passwort:

15. If you see the error message "zuncompress(): need dictionary ..."

This is currently a bug in DDEV. Open file public/typo3conf/AdditionalConfiguration.php in your editor. Remove the comment "#ddev-generated" on the top of the file (otherwise it will be overwriten on every start). Change 'driver' => 'pdo_mysql', into 'driver' => 'mysqli',. Restore DB again with ddev db-restore. Restart with ddev restart. Now the error message should be gone.

16. Change local development URL

Replace the development URL "https://devnewproject.ddev.site" with the generated URL, which is shown after ddev start, in these files:

• Build/js/app.js
• Build/cypress.json

17. Change deployment credentials

Change all credentials in deploy.php to your own deployment data.

18. Setup GitHub Action for automated deployment

a. Generate ssh keys for cloning of your private repository to your server

Generate ssh keys on your server with:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096

Leave password empty! Use the public key on GitHub for "Settings -> Deployment Keys -> Add deploy key" (name doesn't matter). Make a test connection to GitHub to update the known_hosts file, with:

ssh -T [email protected]

b. Generate ssh keys for the deployment from GitHub to your server

Generate ssh keys on your local machine:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f ~/.ssh/id_github -C "[email protected]"

Leave password empty and use the email address, which you used for your GitHub account. If you alreade have a local ssh keys without password, you can use this instead.

Upload the public key to your server with:

ssh-copy-id -f -i ~/.ssh/id_github [email protected]

Make a test connection to your server to update the known_hosts file, with:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_github [email protected]

Open the private key and use it on GitHub for generating "Settings -> Secrets -> Actions -> New repository secret" with Name "PRIVATE_KEY".

Get your entry from known_hosts on your local machine, with:

ssh-keyscan pxxxxxx.mittwaldserver.info

Copy the line which looks like "pxxxxxx.mittwaldserver.info ssh-rsa AAA..." and use it on GitHub for generating "Settings -> Secrets -> Actions -> New repository secret" with Name "KNOWN_HOSTS". (Without it ssh would ask if you want to add your server to the known_hosts).
