Update: You can also easily checkout this repo and just lando start to spin it up: https://github.com/saschaeggi/mautic-lando-starterkit

Requirements

• lando
• composer

Install Mautic via composer

composer create-project mautic/core YOURPROJECTNAME ^3 --no-dev

Replace YOURPROJECTNAME with the name of the projects folder.

Lando

Config

Create .lando.yml with the following content:

name: mautic
recipe: lamp

You upgraded to a shiny new M1 Mac (MacBook, MacBook Pro or Mac Mini) but now brew is broken on your new ARM machine. You can easily fix this:

Depending if you use zsh or bash you need to put the following in either ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc :

alias brew='arch -x86_64 brew'

If you haven’t installed Rosetta 2 on your machine yet, you will automatically get an installation prompt the first time you run brew.

This will emulate brew (for now) using Rosetta 2 until brew officially supports ARM on Mac.

Requirements

PHP

Your web server needs to support WebP through PHP.
PHP 5 >= 5.4.0
GD Library

Check your PHP setup
How to check if everything is working as expected:

php -i | grep 'WebP'

If everything is working fine you should see

WebP Support => enabled

We should be ready to go on, yay 🎉

If you get another output, you might need to enable/install libgd and enable it in your PHP.ini.

Drupal

This tutorial only works with Drupal 8/9. As a start you’ll need to enable/install some modules:

1. ImageAPI Optimize
   https://www.drupal.org/project/imageapi_optimize
   The module has built in support for core Image styles and a…

You just upgraded your brew packages and composer updated itself to version 2.x but you still need version 1.x? This is how you can downgrade (& upgrade again):

Show available versions of composer:

brew log composer

For me the latest 1.x version to date is: composer 1.10.15

Let’s downgrade

composer self-update 1.10.15

To switch back to the 2.x version use

composer self-update --rollback

If vagrant does not run on macOS 11 Big Sur and you’re not able to update it’s plugins, follow this guide.

Prerequisites

If you use brew for ansible etc. Make sure brew works under Big Sur:

Update vagrant

First make sure you have the latest version of vagrant.
Download the latest version from:

https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads

Let’s update the vagrant plugins

vagrant plugin update

You should get a message like

Updated 'vagrant-share' to version '1.1.11'!
Updated 'vagrant-vbguest' to version '0.28.0'!

Now try it again.

vagrant up

It now should work just fine.

If you encounter issues with brew on macOS 11 Big Sur, than it has a high chance of being a similar issue that I ran into.

One of the many error messages regarding brew on macOS 11:

In this guide I’ll show you how you can setup Matomo Analytics together with Drupal (will work fine with other systems with some minor adjustments, too) to be GDPR compliant and to respect the “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting of your users.

Drupal

Install the “EU Cookie Compliance” Module

1. Make sure you’re using the EU Cookie Compliance module.
2. Set the module up to your liking.
   This module will provide you with a customisable consent banner

Note: I’ve added the Matomo tracking code with a simple JS file, but if you like to configure Matomo on the Drupal backend you can also install https://www.drupal.org/project/matomo for that

Matomo Analytics

Sometimes Time Machine backups can take a while. The backup process is getting throttled and therefore has not a very high priority.

Set process priority

But you can allow the Time Machine process to gather a higher priority and therefore speed up the backup overall with the following command:

sudo sysctl debug.lowpri_throttle_enabled=0

Reset process priority

To set the process back to it’s original priority we can just set it back to 1.

sudo sysctl debug.lowpri_throttle_enabled=1

For me this speeded up the backup process by other 100%.
