Depending on how many containers and projects you may have with Lando / Docker, things can go wrong at some time on your local environment, so here is a basic troubleshooting.

CiviCRM is an old Drupal 7 friend and its relationships with Drupal 8 are in a pretty good way. Let's make them meet the Composer template for Drupal projects, a widespread setup that stores the vendor directory outside of the docroot. Lando will host the party by spinning up a local environment, however this method should be generalizable with any other development environment.

A walkthrough to join the dots between two posts about setting up Lando for Drupal and Solr for Drupal with Search API, and also a good opportunity to cover all the steps to spin up an evaluation or development environment for this setup. Lando comes with the great benefit for a team to share the server configuration alongside the project, so we have a predictable environment to deploy in production and do not add configuration maintenance overhead on the team, especially in the case of more advanced setup like Solr, Varnish, decoupled setup, ...

Ever thought about spinning up a Drupal 7 or 8 dev environment that is close to your production setup in minutes (Apache or Nginx, PHP 5.6 or 7.1, MySQL or Postgres, or ...)? Even better, you will be able to share the configuration with your team straight on your Git repository as a YAML file. Lando provides development environments (LAMP, LEMP, MEAN, ...) and other recipes for Drupal 6 to 8, Laravel, Backdrop, ... .
