In a recent project, we dealt with 2 DDEV instances — 2 applications that need to communicate with each other or, more specifically, exchange files.

For about 1 year, we've been using DDEV for most of our Docker setups. While Sylius comes with its own Docker setup, I wanted to see if I could use DDEV to develop Sylius plugins as this would offer me a similar Docker experience to our other projects.

For a recent project, I tried to enable Xdebug in our DDEV environment. What worked fine in the past did not work correctly this time. Once Xdebug was active, reloading the page resulted in a HTTP 503 error.

Adding custom Javascript code to the Sulu Admin UI requires a rebuild of the administration interface frontend application. According to the Sulu docs, running the following command is enough:

bin/adminconsole sulu:admin:update-build

Sadly, this did not work in our ddev setup because ddev ships with a newer version of npm. Due to a breaking change for linked packages, Sulu is not compatible with npm > 6 at the moment.

In our Techradar we've listed DDEV as a tool to assess. But why?

Since we are currently moving to DDEV to standardize our Docker development setups, I was wondering how easy it will be to add my favorite Git Hook Manager CaptainHookPHP to the setup.

For a while we've been using DDEV to standardize our docker setup for development and to have a consistent way of interacting with Docker across all our projects (e.g., Magento, Symfony, Sulu, Sylius, API Platform, ...). Since most of our developers are using PHPStorm as their IDE of choice, using the DDEV Tool Integration for IntelliJ IDEA plugin was a natural choice.
