Drupal Commerce on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
by cloudimg
Drupal Commerce, open source e-commerce built on Drupal, with per instance credentials.
Drupal Commerce is the open source e-commerce framework built on Drupal. Rather than bolting a shop onto a content management system, it models commerce natively: products and variations, carts and orders, a configurable checkout flow, flexible pricing and promotions, tax and currency handling, and pluggable payment gateways are all first class Drupal entities. Every commerce object is fieldable, referenceable and viewable with the same tools you use for the rest of the site, so catalog data, editorial content and customer experience are modelled together instead of being synchronised between separate systems.
It is the natural choice for merchants with complex catalogs or unconventional selling models that hosted platforms cannot express, for publishers and brands whose storefront sits inside a larger content site, and for agencies building bespoke commerce experiences their clients fully own.
Ready to sell on first boot
- Drupal core 11.4.4 and Drupal Commerce 3.3.8 are installed and pinned, with the core release verified against the publisher's own checksum at build time.
- Nine Commerce modules are enabled automatically: commerce, price, store, product, order, cart, checkout, payment and tax.
- A default store is created during first boot, because Commerce cannot sell a product without one. You land on a working storefront and Commerce dashboard rather than an installer.
- The stack is Apache 2.4, PHP 8.3 and MySQL 8.0, all from the Ubuntu 24.04 repositories with no third party APT sources. MySQL listens on loopback only.
Secure by default
No shared or default credential ships in this image. On each virtual machine's first boot, a one shot service generates a unique MySQL root password, a unique application database password and a unique Drupal administrator password, installs the site with them, and writes them to a file only the root user can read. Nothing sensitive exists in the published image, and no two deployments ever share a secret.
Portable across any address
No address is baked into the site configuration. Drupal derives its base URL from the incoming request, so the storefront answers correctly on the virtual machine's public address, its private address, or a custom domain pointed at it later, with no reconfiguration and no stale addresses left behind in pages or emails. Adding your own domain and a TLS certificate requires no changes inside Drupal.
