Hi there,

wanting to get started with Radicle I ran into a few things I couldn’t find answers in the docs to and was hoping that someone could shed some light here…

The first and ultimate road block for me is the following:

**Nested** `trellis`- **folder**

My usual approach to establishing a project would be to set up a new Trellis instance (_via CLI_ – `trellis new example.com`), adjusting everything here (Ansible roles, hosts, group\_vars, etc.) and then install Sage in the `/site/web/app/themes`-folder.

With Radicle and running `php .radicle-setup/trellis.php` I get a nested `./trellis`-folder which would obviously be redundant – I assume that Radicle should be the root / starting point and then we set up Trellis afterwards and solely in the theme-context, correct?

If so then I am missing **Bedrock** and the whole `config`-folder that contains the ENV-specific configurations…? Where does that come into play?

Sorry if this is clear to everyone else but I am struggling… :sweat_smile:

Howdy!

Radicle does not use `trellis new` at this time and instead relies on the setup script included in the repo — reference [https://roots.io/radicle/docs/local-development/#trellis](https://roots.io/radicle/docs/local-development/#trellis) or the README instructions for the steps to follow

The `trellis/` folder in the root directory is the correct location for Trellis in Radicle

Bedrock is not missing, Radicle itself is a Bedrock install. See the `bedrock/` directory for Bedrock’s config.

Hi @ben,

thanks for getting back and claryfing…

I must have moved / deleted the directory when initially thinking that `trellis/` and `bedrock/` contain overwrites that need to be manually applied for compatibility with Radicle.

Obviously I have to wrap my head around Trellis and Bedrock not being “parents” any more – Sage has grown up! :grin:
