Akeneo PIM Community Edition for Platform.sh

Deploy on Platform.sh

This template builds the Akeneo PIM system for Platform.sh. By default it uses the "minimal" install profile. It requires at least a Medium plan as it uses a Worker instance for queue processing.

Akeneo is a Product Information Management (PIM) tool, which acts as a central store for product information, catalog information, and inventory management.

Services

Deploy

The quickest way to deploy this template on Platform.sh is by clicking the button below. This will automatically create a new project and initialize the repository for you.

Deploy on Platform.sh


You can also quickly recreate this project locally with the following command:

composer create-project platformsh/pim-community-standard -s dev

Note:

Platform.sh templates prioritize upstream release versions over our own. Despite this, we update template dependencies on a scheduled basis independent of those upstreams. Because of this, template repos do not contain releases. This may change in the future, but until then the -s dev flag is necessary to use composer create-project.

Post-install

  1. The first time the site is deployed, Akeneo's command line installer will run and initialize the database. It will not run again unless the installer/minimal.installed is removed. (Do not remove that file unless you want the installer to run on the next deploy!)

  2. The installer will create an administrator account with username/password admin/admin. You need to change this password immediately. Not doing so is a security risk.

  3. After you have deployed, you can additionally view a built-in demo version of Akeneo, complete with default settings and an initial catalog of products. On a new environment (platform environment:branch demo), update the variables.env block of .platform.app.yaml to match the following:

variables:
    env:
        APP_ENV: 'prod'
        APP_DEBUG: 0
        APP_DEFAULT_LOCALE: 'en_US'
        APP_PRODUCT_AND_PRODUCT_MODEL_INDEX_NAME: 'akeneo_pim_product_and_product_model'
        # AKENEO_STARTER: minimal
        AKENEO_STARTER: icecat_demo_dev
        # Update these for your desired Node version.
        NODE_VERSION: v14.19.0

AKENEO_STARTER will then be updated from the default minimal catalog to icecat_demo_dev. Like before, Akeneo will create an initial admin user (admin/admin), and you should update those credentials immediately.
