ddev

ddev is an open source tool that makes it dead simple to get local PHP development environments up and running within minutes. It's powerful and flexible as a result of its per-project environment configurations, which can be extended, version controlled, and shared. In short, ddev aims to allow development teams to use Docker in their workflow without the complexities of bespoke configuration.

Roadmap

Each DRUD product has a dedicated product owner, who serves as the primary advocate for customers and end-users when making decisions regarding the public roadmap. For the ddev roadmap, @rickmanelius is currently serving as the product owner.

We use the longer-term roadmap to prioritize short-term sprints. Please review the ddev roadmap and ddev issue queue to see what's on the horizon.

Using ddev with other development environments

ddev requires ports 80 and 3306 to be available for use on your system when sites are running. If you are using another local development environment alongside ddev, please ensure the other environment is turned off or otherwise not using ports 80 and 3306.

If you need to use another environment after using ddev, simply ensure all of your ddev sites are stopped or removed. ddev only uses system ports when at least one site is running.
