How to start with older existing Magento version (2.4.0)

[kovinet]

Hello

I would like to run older Magento version locally, which is currently on 2.4.0.

What is the best way to do this? Should I clone older tag of this project, which was still compatiblem with 2.4.0 (it needs PHP 7.4 and Composer v1), or can I use latest version of docker-magento and then manually fix php versions in docker-compose.yml files?

Is there a recommended way how to go about this?

In case I start by cloning older versios of docker-magento, how will I know which tag is compatible with which Magento version?

Hello @kovinet! I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you have. Let's dive into this Magento version issue together.

To run Magento version 2.4.0 locally, it is recommended to clone an older tag of the docker-magento project that is compatible with PHP 7.4 and Composer v1. The specific tag or release of the docker-magento project that is compatible with Magento 2.4.0 is version 33.0.0 ^[1]. This approach is more straightforward and less error-prone than using the latest version and manually adjusting the PHP versions in the docker-compose.yml files.
