The default Drupal administration interface looks dated in terms of modern design standards. It’s time to change that.
Gin is based on Claro and delivers an all-new admin experience for Drupal 8 & 9. Gin brings a refreshed, more modern and fully customisable experience onto the table.
“Is this really Drupal?” is one of the most often heard reactions I usually get when I present the Gin Admin Theme to people. A radical redesign which will delight content editors, site builders and site admins. The editorial experience is at its core of Gin’s adjustments.
Update: You can also easily checkout this repo and just lando start
to spin it up: https://github.com/saschaeggi/mautic-lando-starterkit
composer create-project mautic/core YOURPROJECTNAME ^3 --no-dev
Replace YOURPROJECTNAME with the name of the projects folder.
Create .lando.yml
with the following content:

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.
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.
This tutorial only works with Drupal 8/9. As a start you’ll need to enable/install some modules:
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):
brew log composer
For me the latest 1.x version to date is: composer 1.10.15
composer self-update 1.10.15
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.
If you use brew for ansible etc. Make sure brew works under Big Sur:
First make sure you have the latest version of vagrant.
Download the latest version from:
https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads
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:
Traceback (most recent call last): 11: from /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/brew.rb:23:in `<main>' 10: from /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/brew.rb:23:in `require_relative' 9: from /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/global.rb:37:in `<top (required)>' 8: from /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/vendor/portable-ruby/2.6.3/lib/ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' 7: from /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/vendor/portable-ruby/2.6.3/lib/ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' 6: from /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/os.rb:3:in `<top (required)>' 5: from /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/os.rb:21:in `<module:OS>' 4: from /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/os/mac.rb:58:in `prerelease?' 3: from /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/os/mac.rb:24:in `version' 2: from /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/os/mac.rb:24:in `new' 1: from /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/os/mac/version.rb:26:in `initialize' /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/version.rb:368:in `initialize': Version value must be a string; got a NilClass ()…
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.
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 already…
Sometimes Time Machine backups can take a while. The backup process is getting throttled and therefore has not a very high 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
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%.
See also my tutorial on how to setup a Raspberry Pi 4 as a Time Machine server:
Time Machine is built into the system of macOS and I’m using it since the early days of Mac OS X Leopard. If you have a Raspberry Pi (or two) lying around at your place like me, this tutorial comes in handy to create a cheap and speedy backup solution.
Make sure your Raspberry Pi is running on the latest software.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
We’re going to first install Samba (for SMB) which is a very popular Open Source file sharing protocol which is officially supported by Time Machine for backing up data over a network…
