Lando support

.lando.yml file is included for the users of Lando.

Setup Guide (for Lando users)

1. Clone the repo
2. Run lando start to download and start the project containers.
3. Run lando composer install to fetch composer managed code.
4. Install site with drush
   1. lando drush si dlaw --db-url=mysqli://drupal10:drupal10@database/drupal10 --account-name=admin
5. Login as admin (user-1). Password is provided from previous step.
6. Create a new Landing Page that will become the homepage
   1. At https://dlaw10.lndo.site/node/add/landing_page
   2. Until then, https://dlaw10.lndo.site will show "Page not found".
   3. It will save as node #1. Enrich the home page by adding paragraph components.
7. Visit the site at https://dlaw10.lndo.site
8. DLAW dashboard and settings can be accessed from the top dropdown menu 'Dashboard'

If you are installing the site without Lando, a bit of Drupal installation experience should do. You'll need to setup Solr server on your own.
