Sharing

File system sharing can be slow if we're trying to sync too many files between the host system and the container. These settings should alleviate most problems. 

  sharing:
    share: 'data:/code'
    ignore:
      - Name sites/default/files
      - Name *node_modules*
      - Name *bower_components*
      - Name *vendor*
    paths:
      - index.php
      - sites/default
      - sites/all/modules/features
      - sites/all/modules/custom
      - sites/all/themes

Note that for sites with a Composer build you will need to include `web/` at the start of each path 

Composer Builds

For sites that are built with composer you need to change some config paths for it to work.

Go to 'config/nginx' and open drupal.conf (or drupal8.conf if it is a D8 site). Change all instances of /code to /code/web

Save the file and then kbox rebuild && kbox restart


CiviCRM

In civicrm.settings.php if you are using a pressflow site add this in under the  if (!empty($env['conf']['pantheon_binding'])) conditional:

// Kalabox2 settings
  elseif (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],'kbox') !== false) {
    // Set the DB connection string
    $db_string = $env['databases']['default']['default']['driver'] . '://' . $env['databases']['default']['default']['username'] . '@';
    $db_string .= $env['databases']['default']['default']['host'] .  '/' . $env['databases']['default']['default']['database'] . '?new_link=true';
    define( 'CIVICRM_UF_DSN'           , $db_string);
    define( 'CIVICRM_DSN'           , $db_string);
    global $civicrm_root;
    $civicrm_root = '/code/sites/all/modules/civicrm/';
    define( 'CIVICRM_TEMPLATE_COMPILEDIR', '/code/sites/default/files/civicrm/templates_c/' );
    define( 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL'      , 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/' );
  }

(note that formerly "$_SERVER['APPDOMAIN']" was used instead of "$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']")
