+Docker Compose Drupal base - php8, nginx, mariadb
+=================================================
+
+This is a docker compose version of the Lando example tests:
+
+Start up tests
+--------------
+
+Run the following commands to get up and running with this example.
+
+```bash
+# Should remove any previous runs and poweroff
+sed -i -e "/###/d" docker-compose.yml
+docker network inspect amazeeio-network >/dev/null || docker network create amazeeio-network
+docker compose down
+
+# Should start up our Lagoon Drupal site successfully
+docker compose build && docker compose up -d
+
+# Ensure mariadb pod is ready to connect
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "wait-for mariadb:3306"
+```
+
+Verification commands
+---------------------
+
+Run the following commands to validate things are rolling as they should.
+
+```bash
+# Should be able to site install via Drush
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "drush si -y"
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "drush cr -y"
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "drush status" | grep "Drupal bootstrap" | grep "Successful"
+
+# Should have all the services we expect
+docker ps --filter label=com.docker.compose.project=drupal-cms-example | grep Up | grep drupal-cms-example-nginx-1
+docker ps --filter label=com.docker.compose.project=drupal-cms-example | grep Up | grep drupal-cms-example-mariadb-1
+docker ps --filter label=com.docker.compose.project=drupal-cms-example | grep Up | grep drupal-cms-example-php-1
+docker ps --filter label=com.docker.compose.project=drupal-cms-example | grep Up | grep drupal-cms-example-cli-1
+
+# Should ssh against the cli container by default
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "env | grep LAGOON=" | grep cli-drupal
+
+# Should have the correct environment set
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "env" | grep LAGOON_ROUTE | grep drupal-cms-example.localhost
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "env" | grep LAGOON_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE | grep development
+
+# Should be running PHP 8
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "php -v" | grep "PHP 8"
+
+# Should have composer
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "composer --version"
+
+# Should have php cli
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "php --version"
+
+# Should have drush
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "drush --version"
+
+# Should have npm
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "npm --version"
+
+# Should have node
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "node --version"
+
+# Should have yarn
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "yarn --version"
+
+# Should have a running Drupal site served by nginx on port 8080
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "curl -kL http://nginx:8080" | grep "Drush Site-Install"
+
+# Should be able to db-export and db-import the database
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "drush sql-dump --result-file /app/test.sql"
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "drush sql-drop -y"
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "drush sql-cli < /app/test.sql"
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "rm test.sql*"
+
+# Should be able to show the drupal tables
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "echo U0hPVyBUQUJMRVM7 | base64 -d > /app/showtables.sql"
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "drush sqlq --file /app/showtables.sql" | grep users
+
+# Should be able to rebuild and persist the database
+docker compose build && docker compose up -d
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "echo U0hPVyBUQUJMRVM7 | base64 -d > /app/showtables.sql"
+docker compose exec -T cli bash -c "drush sqlq --file /app/showtables.sql" | grep users
+```
+
+Destroy tests
+-------------
+
+Run the following commands to trash this app like nothing ever happened.
+
+```bash
+# Should be able to destroy our Drupal site with success
+docker compose down --volumes --remove-orphans
+```
