The Drupal plugin adds Drupal-specific commands on top of the core sitectl context and model. Install it when your site runs Drupal, whether standalone or as part of a larger stack like ISLE.

​
Commands

​
drush

Run any Drush command inside the Drupal container for the active context: 
sitectl drupal drush cr
sitectl drupal drush cron --context museum-prod
sitectl drupal drush updb -y
sitectl resolves the correct container from the context and executes the command inside it. You don’t need to know the container name or remember which context you’re connected to.

​
login

Generate a one-time Drupal login link via drush user:login: 
sitectl drupal login
sitectl drupal login --uid 5
The default user ID is 1. Pass --uid to generate a link for a different user.

​
sync database

Copy the Drupal database from one context to another: 
sitectl drupal sync database --source museum-prod --target museum-local
sitectl backs up the source database, stages it between contexts, imports it into the target, and runs post-import steps. Before importing it confirms the operation with you. Pass --yolo to skip the confirmation in automation. Use --fresh to always take a new backup from the source instead of reusing a backup from earlier today.
Syncing a database replaces the target database. Make sure you have a backup of the target before running this on staging or production.

​
sync config

Copy the Drupal config/sync directory from one context to another: 
sitectl drupal sync config --source museum-prod --target museum-local
This exports the config export from the source, stages it, and imports it into the target via drush config:import.

​
Assigning the Drupal plugin to a context

When you create or configure a context, set its plugin field to drupal: 
plugin: drupal
sitectl uses this to validate that Drupal commands are only run against Drupal contexts, and to route the sitectl debug command to the Drupal plugin for Drupal-specific diagnostics.
