# install prerequisites
sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common gnupg-agent -y
# add docker gpg key
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/$(awk -F'=' '/^ID=/{ print $NF }' /etc/os-release)/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
# add docker software repository
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture)] https://download.docker.com/linux/$(awk -F'=' '/^ID=/{ print $NF }' /etc/os-release) $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
# install docker
sudo apt install docker-ce docker-compose containerd.io -y
# enable and start docker service
sudo systemctl enable docker && sudo systemctl start docker
# add the current user to the docker group
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
# reauthenticate for the new group membership to take effect
su - $USER

Running the Drupal Container
--------------------------------------------------------------------
01. Now that Docker is installed, run the following commands to setup the Drupal Docker container and run it
# create working directories
mkdir ~/docker/drupal -p && mkdir ~/docker/mariadb -p
# set ownership on the working directories
sudo chown "$USER":"$USER" ~/docker -R
# create containers network
docker network create containers
# run the mariadb docker container
docker run -d --name mariadb -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=r00tp@$$ -e MYSQL_USER=drupal_rw -e MYSQL_PASSWORD='Dru4@l!!' -e MYSQL_DATABASE=drupal -v ~/docker/mariadb:/var/lib/mysql --network containers --restart unless-stopped mariadb
# initialize the drupal application files
docker run --rm drupal tar -cC /var/www/html . | tar -xC ~/docker/drupal
# make a copy of default.settings.php
cp ~/docker/drupal/sites/default/default.settings.php ~/docker/drupal/sites/default/settings.php
# create the files directory
mkdir ~/docker/drupal/sites/default/files
# allow the container to write to files/ and settings.php
sudo chmod a+rwx -R ~/docker/drupal/sites/default/files
sudo chmod a+rwx -R ~/docker/drupal/sites/default/settings.php
# run the drupal docker container
docker run -d --name=drupal -p 8880:80 -v ~/docker/drupal/modules:/var/www/html/modules -v ~/docker/drupal/profiles:/var/www/html/profiles -v ~/docker/drupal/sites:/var/www/html/sites -v ~/docker/drupal/themes:/var/www/html/themes --network containers --restart unless-stopped drupal
