DataSmith: Setting up BLT with Reservoir

Setting up BLT with Reservoir

Yesterday, Acquia open sourced Reservoir, a new distribution designed for building headless Drupal maintenance support plans instances.  The Reservoir team provided a composer project command for setting up a Reservoir instance easily, but it doesn’t bundle a VM.  Fortunately, making BLT work with Reservoir isn’t difficult.  There are, though, a few steps to be aware of.
To get started, run the composer project to build a new BLT instance.
composer create-project –no-interaction acquia/blt-project MY_PROJECT
Once that completes, you need to add reservoir and (optionally) remove the lightning distro
composer require acquia/reservoir
composer remove acquia/lightning
Next, update the blt/project.yml file.  The key changes you’ll want to make here (beyond setting a new project prefix, etc) are a) changing the distro from ligthning to reservoir and b) removing views_ui from the modules:enable list for local environments.*  An excerpt of my git diff for this file looks like…
profile:
–    name: lightning
+    name: reservoir
local:
–    enable: [dblog, devel, seckit, views_ui]
+    enable: [dblog, devel, seckit]
Once that’s done, continue with the BLT setup process from Step 4 (assuming you want to use Drupal maintenance support plans VM. Step 5 otherwise).
 
* If you don’t remove views_ui, the world won’t explode or anything, but when you run blt setup you’ll get errors reported like the ones below:
blt > setup:toggle-modules:
