Set up multiple websites or stores using Magento Cloud Docker

Magento Cloud Docker supports multiple websites or stores by adding subdomains to your Magento configuration. See Understanding websites, stores, and store views.

To add support for multiple websites and stores:

1. Ensure that the php.ini file includes the configuration for the magento-vars.php file:

   1
   auto_prepend_file = /app/magento-vars.php
   

   Magento Cloud Docker applies the configuration in the php.ini file to the Docker environment if it is included in the root directory of your project.

2. Add each subdomain to the /etc/hosts configuration file.

   2
   127.0.0.1 magento2.docker
   127.0.0.1 second.magento2.docker
   

After updating the php.ini file and adding subdomains, start the Docker environment and complete the following tasks to update the website and store configuration from the Magento Admin:

• Add specific stores and websites. See Set up websites, stores, and store views.
• Add the configuration for Magento store and website codes to the magento-vars.php. See Modify Magento variables.
