Custom Configuration

Lets gather common scenarios for customizations after the DDEV add-on is installed.

Theming Commands

In the Docksal install-theme-tools command, there were some helpers for Critical CSS on M1 machines.

Add this early in the DDEV theme-install command.

# Critical.
echo -e "Installing tools needed for Critical"
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -yq --no-install-recommends dh-autoreconf libasound2 libatk1.0-0 libc6 libcairo2 libcups2 libdbus-1-3 libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libgcc1 libgconf-2-4 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libnspr4 libpango-1.0-0 libpangocairo-1.0-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libx11-xcb1 libxcb1 libxcursor1 libxdamage1 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxss1 libxtst6 libnss3 chromium

settings.php Configuration

Here are some things that you may manually have to change in your settings file.

Trusted Host Patterns

$settings['trusted_host_patterns'] = [
  '.*sitename\.pantheonsite\.io',  // Any env from Pantheon
  '.*sitename\.docksal\.site',    //  Docksal
  # Add an entry for DDEV
  '.*pcg\.ddev\.site',
];

Solr Configuration

Add this configuration to web/sites/default/settings.php to connect to DDEV Solr. Note: Adjust the server machine name to match your project's Search API server.

/**
* DDEV Solr Configuration
* Override Pantheon search configuration when in DDEV environment
*/
if (getenv('IS_DDEV_PROJECT') == 'true') {
 // Override any Pantheon search configuration for DDEV
 $config['search_api.server.pantheon_solr8']['backend_config']['connector'] = 'standard';"
 $config['search_api.server.pantheon_solr8']['backend_config']['connector_config']['host'] = 'solr';
 $config['search_api.server.pantheon_solr8']['backend_config']['connector_config']['port'] = '8983';
 $config['search_api.server.pantheon_solr8']['backend_config']['connector_config']['path'] = '/';
 $config['search_api.server.pantheon_solr8']['backend_config']['connector_config']['core'] = 'dev';

 // Alternative configuration if using different server name
 $config['search_api.server.solr']['backend_config']['connector'] = 'standard';"
 $config['search_api.server.solr']['backend_config']['connector_config']['host'] = 'solr';
 $config['search_api.server.solr']['backend_config']['connector_config']['port'] = '8983';
 $config['search_api.server.solr']['backend_config']['connector_config']['path'] = '/';
 $config['search_api.server.solr']['backend_config']['connector_config']['core'] = 'dev';
}

If you have a Docksal project, you can find the configuration at /.docksal/conf/settings.php
