🚅 Tokaido by Ironstar

Release CircleCI GitHub license Goreportcard

Tokaido is an automation platform for Drupal development environments on MacOS, Linux & Windows.

It streamlines the process of creating, managing, saving, and sharing local Drupal projects using Docker.

With Tokaido, you can start new Drupal projects or launch production-grade local environments for existing projects in as little as 5 minutes.

Tokaido provides a useful default configuration that makes it easy to get started, but offers progressively more advanced configuration options for power users.

Features

Why switch to Tokaido?

Tokaido was built out of frustration with how much time Drupal developers spend trying to manage their local development environments. While other great tools like DrupalVM and Lando have made it easier and easier for developers to build repeatable Drupal environments, we felt there was still a lot of room for improvement.

With Tokaido, we have shifted towards a more opinionated Drupal environment setup and coupled it with the same containers that we (Ironstar) run in enterprise Drupal hosting environments.

So what makes Tokaido better?

The Tokaido CLI

Tokaido also ships with an incredibly powerful CLI that helps to eliminate the need for you to manually manage config files:

Tokaido CLI Command
Start new projects tok new
Launch an environment tok up
Edit configuration tok config
Connect Drupal to database tok up
Self-checks tok status
SSH into environment ssh project.tok
Run commands in environment tok exec "command"
Reset Varnish cache tok purge
Open site in browser tok open
Open services in browser tok open {service}
Generate a Drupal hash salt tok hash
Manage database snapshots tok snapshot

How does Tokaido compare?

* Docker4Drupal is controlled by a Docker Compose file and requires an indepth understanding of Docker and Docker Compose.

+ Lando provides a helpful CLI that makes starting and managing environments easier, but we still think Tokaido and DDev have it beat in this department.

++ Really just a docker-compose exec command, which is helpful for running commands but is not a full-featured dev environment

** Nearly every Drupal project we've tested works with Tokaido without any special config. When testing Lando and Docker4Drupal, even the most basic Drupal minimal installation required special config to get going.
