PHP extensions

Cloud IDE containers provide the same PHP extensions that Cloud Next provides. For more information, see PHP extensions supported in Cloud Next.

Theia plugins

Cloud IDE provides Theia plugins that can be configured using the options provided in ~/.theia/settings.json.

For example, the PHP_CodeSniffer (phpcs) plugin provides the following configuration options:

  • phpcs.enable: Enables and disables the phpcs extension. The default value is true.

  • phpcs.standard: Stores the phpcs coding standard. The default value is Drupal. Other available options:

Managing your services

Users of Cloud IDE can manage services in the container using the following commands:

Command

Description

acli ide:service-start $SERVICE

Starts the service, if it wasn’t running before.

acli ide:service-stop $SERVICE

Stops the service, if it was running before.

acli ide:service-restart $SERVICE

Restarts the service.

Note

Cloud IDE users do not have access to the sudo or root user.

Apache web server resources

Apache and PHP are enabled in your container. Your container serves files from the /home/ide/project/docroot directory. Your Apache access file and PHP error log files are available in the /var/log/apache2/ directory.

Although users can install packages, change system settings, and restart services, these changes aren’t guaranteed to persist.

Altering Apache configuration

To change default options in Apache or create new virtual hosts, you can create and change files in the /home/ide/configs/apache2/ directory. After creating or modifying any Apache configuration file, you must restart the apache2 service by running the following command:

acli ide:service-restart apache
