Getting Started with Cocoapods

Installation

Built with Ruby, Cocopods is installable with the default Ruby available on macOS.  Using the default Ruby install will require you to use sudo when installing gems.

sudo gem install cocoapods

However, if you attempt to install or update Cocopods without Sudo you will hit a permission issue.

After reading about Swoole on Medium article - Moving From Nginx+FPM to Swoole Has Increased Our PHP API Performance by 91%.

This article is in development as I work through my experiences in installing and using Swoole.

Have you tried adding custom synonyms to Solr on Drupal?

How did you go?

What do you need to do to connect a custom synonym list to your Solr?

Set-up : the tools

What am I using?

Search API Synonym- https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_synonym

Solr : 8.1

RayCast

Replace Spotlight with RayCast.  And you can be the judge of performance. I'll flag that RayCast offers many extra features like snippets, extensions etc that you will regularly use.

Spark Email

Yep - I ditched OSX Mail client.  Spark is one of the best email client I found.

Sequel Ace

Sequel Ace is my Database Management tool.

Updating to PHP 8.1, I found this interesting code stop...

Deprecated function: trim(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in bales_preprocess() (line 162 of /var/www/{path/to/file})

What is trim(). Very simply, it removes whitespaces (if they exist) at the start or end of a string.

Running Docker and attempting to install a web proxy environment where I'm attempting to create local web set up the consist of Drupal 9 with Composer + Docker-compose + Nginx + MariaDB + PHP8.1

However, when I run the command

docker-compose up

The terminal hangs at

xdebug - failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to create LLB definition: dockerfile parse error line 45: unknown instruction: ZEND_EXTENSION=XDEBUG.SO

How I got here

Running the following Docker command

docker-compose up

Generated this output:

Running Docker

Dangerous word... I'm assuming that Docker is installed.  Don't know how to check?  Using Terminal (I prefer iTerm2), run the following command

docker -D info

The set-up

Go to your project directory, and create a docker folder and a “docker-compose.yml” file:

Is Docker installed?

Check if your installation is ok and spin up Docker as well:

docker -D info

Using Docker

Now it's time to download and install docker images. Using the official images of MariaDB and Drupal. If you don’t specify the absolute URL to the image it will be searched and downloaded from Docker Hub. Tag 'latest' will be used by default.

In terminal I ran a regular command - compose update.  Something I've completed thousands of times previously.  However, this time I received the following response:

env: php: No such file or directory
