DDEV & Related Things

• I loved DDEV because it simplifies the process of setting up local development environments. No need for manual installation and configurations of Webservers, databases and other dependencies.
• DDEV support various web frameworks and CMS such as Laravel, Magento, Wordpress,… Check this link to view more.
• I can config workflow tailored to my specific projects need with extension and custom command.

# intialize ddev
ddev config

# delete project
ddev ddev --omit-snapshot <project_id>

# list all projects
ddev list

# start ddev into project
ddev start

# stop ddev into project
ddev stop

# restart into project
ddev restart

# logs container
ddev log <services>

# list out ddev services per-project
ddev describe

# download add-on
ddev get <add_on>

# db gui
ddev sequeplace # launch Seq

• Overriding the default configurations nginx please removing #ddev-generated on file .ddev/nginx/nginx_full/nginx-site.conf. If not when running ddev restart it will revert to default DDEV configurations.
• web_extra_daemon: add extra daemons to startup automatically inside web container.

web_extra_daemons:
  - name: 'http-1'
    command: 'PORT=3000 npm run dev'
    directory: /var/www/html

• omit_containers: List some containers should not be loaded automatically for one or more projects

omit_containers: [db]

server { listen 80; listen 443 ssl; ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/master.crt; ssl_certificate_key
/etc/ssl/certs/master.key; location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:3000; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header
Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade'; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_cache_bypass
$http_upgrade; } include /etc/nginx/monitoring.conf; error_log /dev/stdout info; access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
include /etc/nginx/common.d/*.conf; include /mnt/ddev_config/nginx/*.conf; }

Make the calls to projects B via the regular FQDN from project A

# call from project A inside container
curl https://projectb.ddev.site

services:
  web:
    external_links:
      - ddev-router:projectB.ddev.site

• Example (Fix CORS errors call /graphql Magento in Next.Js Project)

... location /graphql { proxy_pass https://projectb.ddev.site/graphql } ...

ddev mutagen reset # reset data
ddev config --global --performance-mode=none # disable for all projects
ddev config --performance-mode=none # disable for per-project
