Tips

The latest imagick release in pecl repositories is not yet compatible with 8.3.

The workaround is to compile it manually by cloning the repo and running make commands inside the docker container.

Here's how to do it in lando:

.lando.yml

services:
  appserver:
    build_as_root:
      - /app/scripts/imagick.sh

scripts/imagick.sh

Create a command that uses drush sql-sync to import a prod db to a local multisite installation.

*You must have the @remote.SITE and @local.SITE drush aliases set up.

tooling:
  db-sync:
    service: appserver
    cmd: site=${0} && drush sql-sync @remote.${site} @local.${site}

To use: lando db-sync SITE
