Shopware 6 production template
This repository contains the production template that enables you to build, package and deploy Shopware 6 to production shops. This template is also used to build the official packages distributed by shopware at https://www.shopware.com/en/download.
This template is optimized for production usage and contains basic development tooling. It's intended as a basis for project customizations, which are usually done by agencies.
If you want to contribute to the Shopware Platform or develop store plugins, you should use the development template.
Branches and stability
In each commit a composer.lock is contained to ensure that the version being deployed is the version that was tested in our CI. We currently provide the following branches:
6.3: stable minor and patch releases (v6.3.0.0-rc2,v6.3.0.1,v6.3.1.0,v6.1.*, but notv6.4.0.0)master: stable major, minor and patch releases (v6.3.0.0,v6.3.1.0,v6.4.0.0,v6.5.0.0...)
The 6.3 branch contains all the 6.3 releases. It's stable now and only gets non-breaking changes. (security issues are an exception).
The master branch contains the newest stable release, including major releases. That may result in plugins being incompatible, so be careful.
Starting with 6.3.0.0, we use a slightly modified version of SemVer. The pattern looks like this: 6.MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. Examples:
- 6.3.2.5 - Major=3, Minor=2, Patch=5
- 6.4.1.0 - Major=4, Minor=1, Patch=0

Requirements
See https://developer.shopware.com/docs/guides/installation/overview#prerequisites
NPM and Node are only required during the build process and for development. If you don't have javascript customizations it's not required at all because the storefront and admin are prebuilt.
If you are using a separate build server, consider having NPM and Node as build-only requirements. Your operating application server doesn't require any of these to run Shopware 6.
Setup and install
To set up the environment and install with a basic setup run the following commands:
# clone the newest patch version from github
git clone --branch=[current version] https://github.com/shopware/production shopware
cd shopware
# install shopware and dependencies according to the composer.lock
composer install
# setup the environment
bin/console system:setup
# or create .env yourself, if you need more control
# create jwt secret: bin/console system:generate-jwt-secret
# create app secret: APP_SECRET=$(bin/console system:generate-app-secret)
# create .env
# create database with a basic setup (admin user and storefront sales channel)
bin/console system:install --create-database --basic-setup
# or run `bin/console assets:install` and use the interactive installer in the browser: /recovery/install/index.phpUpdate
To update Shopware 6 just run this:
# pull newest changes from origin
git pull origin
# the (pre|post)-(install|update)-cmd will execute all steps automatically
composer installCustomization
This project is called production template because it can be used to create project specific configurations. The template provides a basic setup that is equivalent to the official distribution. If you need customization, the workflow could look like this:
- Fork template
- Make customization
- Add dependencies
- Add project specific plugins
- Update var/plugins.json (bin/console bundle:dump, paths need to be relative to the project root)
- Build administration/storefront
- Update composer.json and composer.lock
- Commit changes

Composer
You only need to require the things you want. If you only want to run shopware 6 in headless mode, your composer.json could look like this:
{
"name": "acme/shopware-production",
"type": "project",
"license": "MIT",
"config": {
"optimize-autoloader": true
},
"prefer-stable": true,
"minimum-stability": "stable",
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"Shopware\\Production\\": "src/"
}
},
"require": {
"php": "~7.4",
"composer/package-versions-deprecated": "^1.8.0",
"shopware/core": "~v[current version]"
}
}Require project plugins
If you have project specific plugins, place them under custom/static-plugins/{YourPlugin} and require them in your composer.json.
Note: The plugins needs a (stable) version to work with the default stability stable.
composer require "exampleorg/myplugin"External plugins in private repositories can also be required by adding the repository to your composer.json.
See Using private repositories
Update shopware packages
Run the following command, to update all shopware dependencies:
composer update "shopware/*"Deployment
Docker
The DOCKERFILE and docker-compose.yml service definitions should work but are still experimental.
Storage and caches
The following directories should be shared by all app servers:
.
├── config
│ ├── jwt # ro - should be written on first deployment
│ ├── secrets # rw shared - For usage refer to: https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-4-4-encrypted-secrets-management
├── public
│ ├── bundles # rw shared - Written by `assets:install` / `theme:compile`, can also be initiated by the administration
│ ├── media # rw shared
│ ├── theme # rw shared - generated themes by `theme:compile/change`
│ └── thumbnail # rw shared - media thumbnails
│ └── sitemap # rw shared - generated sitemaps
├── var
│ ├── cache # rw local - contains the containers which contain additional cache directories (twig, translations, etc)
│ ├── log # a - append only, can be changed in the monolog config
ro - Readonly after deployment
rw shared - read and write access, it should be shared across the app servers
rw local - local read and write accessSome of these directories like public can also be changed to a different flysystem to host the files on s3 for example.
