DDEV supports Xdebug. Enable it with: $ ddev xdebug on PHPStorm works out of the box. VS Code needs config unless you use the DDEV Manager extension. Turn off when done: $ ddev xdebug off #ddev #drupal

DDEV addons are really flipping cool - and the ecosystem is growing thanks to contributor trainings like this: 💪 ddev.com/blog/creatin... If you think there's something DDEV can't do - an add-on can probably prove you wrong. 😏🔧

Drupal + DDEV includes Mailpit by default. All outgoing emails are captured so you can test without sending real emails. Access Mailpit with: $ ddev describe Then open the Mailpit URL to view captured messages. #ddev #drupal

DDEV has an add-on registry at addons.ddev.com with services like Adminer, Solr, Redis, and Elasticsearch. Install example: $ ddev addon get ddev/ddev-adminer $ ddev restart Run "$ ddev describe" to see service URLs. #ddev #drupal

Watch: #DDEV from scratch on macOS - on a brand new, untouched MacBook Neo, it shows Homebrew installation, OrbStack, DDEV, all the way through to using Xdebug. In 30 minutes total. ddev.com/blog/watch-d...

A new #DDEV book from Daniele Venditti - nice!!! Details and much more in the April 2026 DDEV newsletter: 📚🎉 ddev.com/blog/ddev-ap...

The amount of changes (and effort) that go into each #DDEV maintenance release always surprises me! 🔧 Here's the latest: github.com/ddev/ddev/re... If you're not using DDEV yet, why not? (Seriously, I really want to know!) 🤔💬

It worked first try for the issue that is introducing a CLI for Drupal core

Organizations that are at the $100+/month sponsorship level with #DDEV get start.coder.ddev.com automatically for their members. And other things too, like diffy.website oh, and world-class support. Ooops, everybody's getting that for free, hard to explain that.

#DDEV-in-the-cloud Coder.ddev.com has massive upgrades! You can now run multiple websites in one workspace, and Drupal issue support now handles both core and contrib issues. We also added access control to keep the bad guys out. Full details at ddev.com/blog/coder-d... or go to start.coder.ddev.com

DDEV contributor training reframed add-ons as reusable workflow distribution tools for Drupal teams. Randy Fay and Stas Zhuk covered testing, CI, install.yaml automation, and registry publishing. https://bit.ly/4tQgQ67 ##Drupal #DDEV #OpenSource #DevOps

Open Source collaboration is so great! Read how TheDropTimes' generosity, thoughtfulness, and creativity inspired a whole huge iteration in #DDEV's exposed public sponsorship data, allowing clearer communication with all of DDEV's stakeholders. ddev.com/blog/sponsor...

MacBook Neo works fine with #DDEV. I did a from-scratch setup and demo of DDEV on one yesterday, www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHUR... The Neo only has 8GB RAM, but that sure didn't affect me demoing a couple of projects. I would always buy a mac with more RAM and disk.

DDEV integrates with VS Code and PHPStorm. VS Code: Install DDEV Manager for a UI showing all active projects + auto Xdebug setup. PHPStorm: Install DDEV Integration for easy SSH access and automatic database connections. #ddev #drupal

I just realized I was sort of mentioned in the DDEV blog back in January… or, more accurately, they credited my app to another more talented Klemens from Poland 😄 https://ddev.com/blog/ddev-jan-2026-newsletter/

Import/export Drupal databases in DDEV: $ ddev import-db --file=db.sql.gz $ ddev export-db > db.sql.gz $ ddev import-files --source=files.zip DDEV handles gzipped files and places everything in the right location. #ddev #drupal

DDEV @ddev.bsky.social launches coder.ddev.com, an experimental cloud dev environment. Browser-based workspaces run DDEV with Docker, VS Code, and Drupal templates preinstalled. Reduces local setup, but users must rely on external Git storage. https://bit.ly/4sEc5vV ##DDEV #DevOps #OpenSource

If you're at DrupalCon North America in Chicago, join me for BoFs on Tuesday: * Git Worktrees with DDEV at 1:30 Salon B BoF 1 * Coder.ddev.com demo (DDEV in Cloud) at 2pm Salon B BoF 1 * DDEV Office Hours at 4:30pm Salon B BoF 2

If you're using #DDEV on MacOS with Lima or Colima, or on most Linux distros, you might run into this issue 👇 ddev.com/blog/docker-... Expertly explained by Stas Zhuk 🛠️🐧✅

DDEV 1.25.1 adds a validation check for Docker Buildx. Systems without Buildx version 0.17.0 or later may encounter errors when running ddev start. https://bit.ly/4lv9sK5 ##Drupal #DDEV #DrupalDev #OpenSource

Coder.ddev.com is live, I'm hoping this will be useful for Contribution Day in Chicago. It's loads of fun and a good followup to our previous use of Gitpod. Blog with short screencasts, ddev.com/blog/coder-d...

Lots of people know Randy Fay as the face of #DDEV, but few know that Stas Zhuk has been doing much of the heavy lifting the last few years under extremely challenging conditions. 💪🙌 www.thedroptimes.com/interview/66...

A very few people have had trouble with Docker Buildx in #DDEV v1.25.1. If you're one, here is all the info. ddev.com/blog/docker-...

`git worktree` is fun and easy, and has some nice uses with #DDEV. Here's the recording of my Florida Drupal Camp session on some of the options. You can run the same project in multiple directories for different features or for different AI agents to play in. www.fldrupal.camp/session/use-...

Andrew Berry shows how WarpBuild Snapshots speed up DDEV in CI. By hashing dependency files in GitHub Actions, runners restore prebuilt environments instead of reinstalling Playwright and system packages. Reported savings: ~24 minutes per commit. https://bit.ly/40FFM3j ##Drupal #DDEV #CI
