Properties for application configuration

The .magento.app.yaml file uses properties to manage environment support for the Commerce application.

name

The name property provides the application name used in the routes.yaml file to define the HTTP upstream (by default, mymagento:http). For example, if the value of name is app, you must use app:http in the upstream field.

type and build

The type and build properties provide information about the base container image to build and run the project.

The supported type language is PHP. Specify the PHP version as follows:

type: php:<version>

The build property determines what happens by default when building the project. The flavor specifies a default set of build tasks to run. The following example shows the default configuration for type and build from magento-cloud/.magento.app.yaml:

# The toolstack used to build the application.
type: php:8.4
build:
    flavor: none

dependencies:
    php:
        composer/composer: '2.7.2'

Installing and using Composer 2

The build: flavor: property is not used for Composer 2.x; therefore, you must manually install Composer during the build phase. To install and use Composer 2.x in your Starter and Pro projects, you must make three changes to your .magento.app.yaml configuration:

Use the following configuration fragments in your own .magento.app.yaml configuration:

# 1. Change flavor to none.
build:
    flavor: none

# 2. Add Composer ^2.0 as a php dependency.
dependencies:
    php:
        composer/composer: '^2.0'

# 3. Add a build hook to run the build tasks using Composer 2.x.
hooks:
    build: |
        set -e
        composer --no-ansi --no-interaction install --no-progress --prefer-dist --optimize-autoloader

See Required packages for more information about Composer.

dependencies

Specify dependencies that your application might need during the build process.

Adobe Commerce supports dependencies on the following languages:

Those dependencies are independent of the eventual dependencies of your application, and are available in the PATH, during the build process and in the runtime environment of your application.

You can specify those dependencies as follows:

ruby:
   sass: "~3.4"
nodejs:
   grunt-cli: "~0.3"

runtime

Use to modify the PHP configuration at runtime, such as enabling extensions. The following extensions are required:

runtime:
    extensions:
        - xsl
        - newrelic
        - sodium

See PHP settings for details about enabling extensions.

disk

Defines the persistent disk size of the application in MB.

disk: 5120

The minimal recommended disk size is 256 MB. If you see the error UserError: Error building the project: Disk size may not be smaller than 128MB, increase the size to 256 MB.

relationships

Defines the service mapping in the application.

The relationship name is available to the application in the MAGENTO_CLOUD_RELATIONSHIPS environment variable. The <service-name>:<endpoint-name> relationship maps to the name and type values defined in the .magento/services.yaml file.

relationships:
    <name>: "<service-name>:<endpoint-name>"

The following is an example of the default relationships:

relationships:
    database: "mysql:mysql"
    redis: "redis:redis"
    opensearch: "opensearch:opensearch"
    rabbitmq: "rabbitmq:rabbitmq"

See Services for a full list of currently supported service types and endpoints.

mounts

An object whose keys are paths relative to the root of the application. The mount is a writable area on the disk for files. The following is a default list of mounts configured in the magento.app.yaml file using the volume_id[/subpath] syntax:

 # The mounts that will be performed when the package is deployed.
mounts:
    "var": "shared:files/var"
    "app/etc": "shared:files/etc"
    "pub/media": "shared:files/media"
    "pub/static": "shared:files/static"

The format for adding your mount to this list is as follows:

"/public/sites/default/files": "shared:files/files"

You can make the mount web accessible by adding it to the web block of locations.

access

The access property indicates a minimum user role level that is allowed SSH access to the environments. The available user roles are:

The default user role is contributor, which restricts the SSH access from users with only viewer rights. You can change the user role to viewer to allow SSH access for users with only viewer rights:

access:
    ssh: viewer
