I added a get-db command to @codeenigma's @ddev support the other day, if you're using ce-deploy and have a standalone app server you can just use `ddev get-db` to fetch and import the database to your local environment. 😎

Check at the README for instructions and the PRs to see the bash code:

And ce-deploy is here:

Just launched DDEV today to find out that it's added an awesome new terminal UI to manage all DDEV projects in one place. I did a write-up last year of how @ddev has changed my development workflow entirely, and a year into using it, I haven't looked back. #ddev #development #PHP https://ryanstubbs.co.uk/2025/11/a-love-letter-to-ddev/

The folks at Upsun (formerly Platform.sh) have been unbelievable supporters of #DDEV for the past few years. πŸ™Œ

Recently, they completed the transfer of the DDEV trademark to the DDEV Foundation - they also paid for all the related legal fees. Amazeballs. πŸŽ‰πŸ’ͺπŸ†

I discovered #ddev #drupal contrib, and it is absolutely great for graphql module development 😍

The @ddev is officially back with its foundation and remains very much alive and actively maintained πŸ› οΈ.

We took our turn in the project history and now we are quite happy to step out of the way for its next chapter 🀝.

It feels good to see a project we care about land in such steady hands and continue to thrive 🎯

We have a project provided by a vendor, and I need to use #yarn to build it after making any changes.

On my Mac, it works. On Win (whether native or Ubuntu in WSL, or even ssh into our #DDEV container), I simply cannot get it work. It always throws an error saying "Cannot find module 'pnpapi'", despite the fact that pnpapi is supposed to be bundled in yarn.

Searching onine, it seems like I'm literally the only person in the world having this issue.
