Currently Untested and Highly experimental
Documenting the proof-of-concept of creating a shared composer cache (PHP) directory and npm cache directory (NodeJS).
This can be used to share the local caches of downloaded packages between multiple project stacks.
Docksal does not have a mechanism to manage user created volumes. In the event that the volume needs to be dropped, you
will need to stop all existing projects, drop/recreate the volume, and then do fin project reset cli in all projects
that were mounting this external volume.
Run the following fin commands to create the volumes for caches:
fin docker volume create composer-cache
fin docker volume create npm-cache
Update docksal.yml respectively:
services:
cli:
volumes:
- composer_cache:/home/docker/.composer/cache
- npm_cache:/home/docker/.npm
volumes:
composer_cache:
external: true
npm_cache:
external: true
(This is similar to how the global docksal_ssh_agent volume is mounted in cli.)
Update the project stack:
fin project start
