Feature: #99221 - Introduce CLI setup command¶

Description¶

To be able to automate the setup process for new TYPO3 installations, a new CLI command setup is introduced as an alternative to the existing GUI based web installer.

Impact¶

You can now use ./bin/typo3 setup to set up your TYPO3 installation without needing to run through the web installer.

Example¶

Interactive / guided setup (questions/answers):

./bin/typo3 setup

Automated setup:

TYPO3_DB_DRIVER=mysqli \
TYPO3_DB_USERNAME=db \
TYPO3_DB_PORT=3306 \
TYPO3_DB_HOST=db \
TYPO3_DB_DBNAME=db \
TYPO3_SETUP_ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@example.com \
TYPO3_SETUP_ADMIN_USERNAME=admin \
TYPO3_SETUP_CREATE_SITE="https://your-typo3-site.com/" \
TYPO3_PROJECT_NAME="Automated Setup" \
TYPO3_SERVER_TYPE="apache" \
./bin/typo3 setup --force

Warning

Variable TYPO3_DB_PASSWORD (option --password) can be used to provide a password for the database and TYPO3_SETUP_ADMIN_PASSWORD (option --admin-user-password) for the admin user password. Using this can be a security risk since the password may end up in shell history files. Prefer the interactive mode. Additionally, writing a command to shell history can be suppressed by prefixing the command with a space when using bash or zsh.
