Upgrade drupal core 8.7 core to drupal recommended 8.9.19

Step 1: download your source code and put it on you Lando Root directory.

Step 2: Create .lando.yml in root of your project and paste the below code.

name: khaitan9update
recipe: drupal8
config:
  webroot: web
  php: '7.4'
  composer_version: '2.1.9

• name: Name of Your codebase
• recipe: Drupal 8, because this project build in drupal8, we will update it drupal 9 later.
• webroot: web which is web root directory.
• you can specify php version as well composer_version.

Step 3: Create settings.lando.php file inside web/sites/default and paste the below code.

<?php
/**
 * @file
 * Lando settings.
 */
// Configure the database on Lando
// FROM https://github.com/thinktandem/platformsh-example-drupal8/blob/master/web/sites/default/settings.lando.php


// Set the database creds
$databases['default']['default'] = [
  'database' => 'drupal8',
  'username' => 'drupal8',
  'password' => 'drupal8',
  'host' => 'database',
  'port' => '3306',
  'driver' => 'mysql',
  'prefix' => '',
];
// And a bogus hashsalt for now
$settings['hash_salt'] = json_encode($databases);

global $content_directories;
$content_directories['sync'] = $app_root.'/../content/sync';

Step 4: add below code in setting.php file which is web/sites/default.

if (getenv('LANDO')) {
  if (file_exists($app_root . '/' . $site_path . '/settings.lando.php')) {
    include $app_root . '/' . $site_path . '/settings.lando.php';
  }
}

Step 6: Now import db for connecting CMS to database.

Note: make sure if, lando db-import dbname, will not work then run lando rebuild -y

Step 7: Now, you can able to access your CMS, just login and use it.
