ddev/ddev v0.18.0

v0.18.0: XDebug improvements, Windows extravaganza, Upgrade Paths

on GitHub

Installation/Upgrade

We're recommending Docker Stable v18.03+ at this time instead of Docker Edge. Users of Docker Edge have hit various trippers.

See the installation instructions but it's easy: macOS Homebrew: brew upgrade ddev. Linux or macOS via script: curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drud/ddev/master/install_ddev.sh | bash. Download the windows installer for Windows (which includes sudo; If you get a Windows Defender Smartscreen warning "Windows protected your PC", click "More info" and then "Run anyway". We plan to have this signed in the next release to avoid this problem.). And anywhere, including Windows, you can just downloading the tarball or zipball and place the executable in your path where it belongs.

To upgrade to this release with an existing project, please

• ddev rm and then ddev config to update your .ddev/config.yaml. (ddev rm doesn't throw away anything; you won't lose your database.)
• Note that your docker-compose.yaml will be recreated on every ddev start as described below.

Key changes in v0.18.0:

• Step debugging (XDebug) is massively simplified. No more setting a host IP address, no more changing the port. See updated docs and quick screencast. Note that this requires Docker 18.03+
• Windows users now have an installer for ddev. Better yet, it includes sudo so you don't have to do that nasty hosts file editing by hand any more.
• Upgrade path:
  • ddev now manages the .ddev/docker-compose.yaml file - it is now created on every ddev start. A backup of the old one is made, but please do not make edits to docker-compose.yaml. The docs explain how to add random docker-compose additions in other files.
  • ddev now versions the config.yaml file, and pesters you if you haven't upgraded the config.yaml to the current ddev version. You update it by just stepping through ddev config without changing anything.
• Nodejs, npm, yarn, and patch are now pre-installed in the web container.
• We have started trying to answer support questions on Stack Overflow. Please tag your questions with "ddev", and help out by answering others' questions. There is a pretty good collection there already.
• This release includes a variety of bug fixes as well.
