Being in LAMP profile, I had the issue that environment bash variables were not available in PHP. I tested this PR in my DEV environment and it works perfectly :

• getenv() PHP function return the .env values so the settings.php is well provided. However it is a good idea to add the possibility to override this values with .env.local file.

Hello @vever001 , we will always only support installations through Docker.

This is truly sad to hear.
I understand docker can save some discussions/issues with environment setup but for people who know what they are doing this is a good addition and has minimal impact.

For those interested I created a fork here https://github.com/vever001/drupal-site-template that contains this PR and #37 as well as some other minor additions.
I will keep maintaining the fork and merge upstream changes, unless otherwise stated on the project page.

Why? What is the problem to support lamp? The work is already done in this PR...

It was a technical decision of OpenEuropa. All OpenEuropa components are developed using Docker containers to mimic the IT infrastructure where they will be deployed (see here).
By using Docker, we cut down the "doesn't work on my machine" problems and the setup time for developers to start working/using components.
Components can of course be used without Docker, but we don't give support nor add functionalities to support that approach.
