I am a PHP Dev and a DJ, but a #macos beginner. What kind of apps would you recommend that will make my everyday life easier? Already using #brew, #iterm2, #ddev + #docker, #atext, #clipy. I am considering #alfred
#DDEV blog post: Running Intel images on Apple Silicon is usually a bad idea, but here's how you can do it in several environments. It can solve tricky ancient npm problems, etc. https://ddev.com/blog/amd64-on-apple-silicon-ddev
Tomorrow's #DDEV Contributor Training is about how to build and push a custom multi-architecture Docker image for DDEV. It will be fun! If you're not already signed up, https://ddev.com/blog/contributor-training/
Just looking back at the very reason I stopped using Ghost, where I provided an in-depth explanation as to what was missing (that is, the ability to create your own design elements in the editor), and 5+ years later it’s still not added.
Every other major installable CMS offers something like this. WordPress offers this. It’s so weird that Ghost doesn’t.
I had massive problems with #DDEV, #colima and #qemu on a Mac M1 the last few days. The system was super fast, but then out of the blue requests took 1 to 3 minutes and the qemu process went up to 400% CPU workload.
It looks like (and I cross my fingers) the problem was running colima with a docker installation from Docker-Desktop. I uninstalled it and installed Docker with "brew install docker" in lieu of "brew install --cask docker" and everything is working fine again. By now.
Why DDEV?
In my recent @bitexpert blog post, I'll share my thoughts on why DDEV is an interesting tool for managing local development environments for us. Are you using DDEV already, and why not? :)
Tomorrow's #DDEV contributor training will be about community support - how we can sustainably support each other in the long run. Join us! Sign up and see previous trainings at https://ddev.com/blog/contributor-training/
Are you a #DDEV macOS user that wants to live on the edge a bit? We need some people to be using the Sonoma betas. We don't currently have a spare machine that qualifies for the beta, so would love it if you'd use DDEV on Sonoma from now to release!
What's new with #DDEV ? A newsletter. Sometimes it's a better way to catch up on the news. We're aiming for a monthly newsletter with the latest things you need to know about DDEV and the community. Please sign up at https://ddev.com/newsletter/
Thanks to amazing efforts by Ondřej Surý and deb.sury.org, PHP 8.3 packages are already available and #DDEV will shortly have PHP 8.3 support, this is currently 8.3-alpha3 but will soon have betas. Review requested, https://github.com/ddev/ddev/pull/5238
#DDEV just got its second major financial sponsor! Our goal is to get to $10K/month for sponsoring a second full-time dev, we're at about $2.5K now. Does your agency or org want to step up and become a major sponsor? Give me a yell! We do support contracts, invoicing, etc.
#DDEV v1.22.0-rc1 is out, please upgrade to it if you're testing, it's easy. We're on the final stretch. Installation is easy and you using and testing it makes a huge difference, thanks! https://github.com/ddev/ddev/releases
It's testing time in the #DDEV release factory. We'd love to have your help going through the test plan, https://github.com/ddev/ddev/issues/5015 - Or of course just using the latest pre-release in your daily work. But sanity checks in the test plan are SO HELPFUL, thanks!
#DDEV v1.22.0-beta4 is out, all planned fixes and features are now in. We'd dearly love it if you'd use it and test it. Now onward to the formal manual test plan. https://github.com/ddev/ddev/releases
I think it's a pretty good advice to clear caches within #PHPStorm now and then. It prevents from a lot of headache, when PHPStorm does not behave as expected once again. File -> Invalidate Caches...
Warning! Re-Indexing of projects might take some time!
@outofcontrol This time it was a ludicrous behaviour when setting up #DDEV and #PhpCSFixer within #docker with "external tools". Phpstorm only excepted one single setting after each other and I had to restart the software after each setting so that Phpstorm would find config files in the docker container. After clearing the cache everything worked as expected.
#DDEV v1.22.0-beta3 is out, we'd so love it if you'd test it and use it in your daily work. This one has an important bugfix for some cases with mutagen, thanks to @hanoii and @mglaman 's reports and debugging. https://github.com/ddev/ddev/releases
