Creating Projects

Projects are containers for workspaces that share common infrastructure and configuration. From the Projects list, click New Project to launch the project creation wizard.

Project list

Project Creation Wizard

Section titled “Project Creation Wizard”

The wizard guides you through six steps:

1. Primary Platform

Section titled “1. Primary Platform”

Select the primary platform for your project (Adobe Commerce, WordPress, Laravel, etc.). This determines available services and configuration options.

Select platform

2. Subdomain Configuration

Section titled “2. Subdomain Configuration”

Specify at least one subdomain for the project. Workspaces will be accessible at {workspace_name}-{project_subdomain}.{your-domain}.

Subdomain configuration step

Projects can specify multiple subdomains. Depending on your platform, you may be able to map subdomains to specific application contexts or specify path-based routing.

3. Git Repository Integration

Section titled “3. Git Repository Integration”

Optionally configure Git repository integration for automatic code deployment and synchronization.

4. Shared Services

Section titled “4. Shared Services”

Configure shared infrastructure services:

  • Database - Type and version (MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, etc.)
  • Search engine - Elasticsearch, OpenSearch
  • Cache - Redis, Valkey, Varnish
  • Other platform-specific services

Shared services configuration step

5. Default Workspace Settings

Section titled “5. Default Workspace Settings”

Set default system configuration values for new workspaces:

  • PHP version
  • Web server type
  • Memory limits
  • Other runtime settings

Default workspace settings step

These defaults correspond to step 3 of the workspace creation wizard and can be overridden when creating individual workspaces.

6. Shared Configuration Files

Section titled “6. Shared Configuration Files”

Optionally provide shared configuration files that will be available to all workspaces in the project:

  • auth.json for Composer authentication
  • Environment-specific configuration files
  • Shared credentials and API keys

Shared configuration files step

Managing Projects

Section titled “Managing Projects”

Most project settings can be updated after creation through the project’s configuration panel. However, certain infrastructure settings like database and search engine versions are immutable.
