Drupal Local Development (DDEV & Lando)

DDEV Setup

Initialize a Drupal project

mkdir my-drupal-project && cd my-drupal-project
ddev config --project-type=drupal --php-version=8.3 --docroot=web
ddev start
ddev composer create drupal/recommended-project:^11
ddev drush si -y
ddev launch

Common DDEV Commands

ddev start                      # Start containers
ddev stop                       # Stop containers
ddev restart                    # Restart containers
ddev describe                   # Show project info (URLs, DB credentials)
ddev ssh                        # SSH into web container
ddev logs -s web                # View web logs
ddev launch                     # Open site in browser
ddev launch --mailpit           # Open Mailpit UI

# Drupal-specific
ddev drush cr                   # Clear/rebuild cache
ddev drush cex                  # Export config
ddev drush cim                  # Import config
ddev drush updb                 # Run database updates
ddev drush si -y                # Fresh install
ddev drush uli                  # One-time login URL
ddev drush pm:list              # List modules
ddev drush en MODULE_NAME       # Enable module
ddev drush pm:uninstall MODULE  # Uninstall module

# Composer
ddev composer require drupal/MODULE_NAME
ddev composer update
ddev composer install

# Database
ddev export-db > backup.sql.gz  # Export database
ddev import-db < backup.sql.gz  # Import database

DDEV Add-ons

# Redis
ddev add-on get ddev/ddev-redis
# Then in settings.php:
# $settings['redis.connection']['host'] = 'redis';

# Solr
ddev add-on get ddev/ddev-solr

# Elasticsearch
ddev add-on get ddev/ddev-elasticsearch

# Memcached
ddev add-on get ddev/ddev-memcached

Xdebug (DDEV)

ddev xdebug on                  # Enable Xdebug (port 9003)
ddev xdebug off                 # Disable Xdebug
ddev xdebug status              # Check status

Configure your IDE to listen on port 9003.

Running Tests (DDEV)

# PHPUnit
ddev exec ./vendor/bin/phpunit -c web/core web/modules/custom/MODULE/tests/

# PHPCS
ddev exec ./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=Drupal,DrupalPractice web/modules/custom/MODULE/

# PHPStan
ddev exec ./vendor/bin/phpstan analyse web/modules/custom/MODULE --level=6

Lando Setup

Initialize a Drupal project

mkdir my-drupal-project && cd my-drupal-project
lando init --source cwd --recipe drupal11
lando start
lando composer create-project drupal/recommended-project:^11 .
lando drush si -y

.lando.yml for Drupal 11

name: my-drupal-project
recipe: drupal11
config:
  php: '8.3'
  via: nginx
  webroot: web
  database: mariadb:10.6
  drush: true
  xdebug: false
services:
  redis:
    type: redis:7
  mailhog:
    type: mailhog
    portforward: true
tooling:
  drush:
    service: appserver
    cmd: drush --root=/app/web
  phpunit:
    service: appserver
    cmd: ./vendor/bin/phpunit -c web/core
  phpcs:
    service: appserver
    cmd: ./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=Drupal,DrupalPractice

Common Lando Commands

lando start                     # Start containers
lando stop                      # Stop containers
lando rebuild                   # Rebuild containers
lando info                      # Show project info
lando ssh                       # SSH into appserver
lando logs -s appserver         # View logs

# Drupal-specific
lando drush cr                  # Clear cache
lando drush cex                 # Export config
lando drush cim                 # Import config
lando drush updb                # Database updates
lando drush uli                 # Login URL

# Composer
lando composer require drupal/MODULE_NAME
lando composer update

# Database
lando db-export backup.sql      # Export
lando db-import backup.sql      # Import

Xdebug (Lando)

# In .lando.yml
config:
  xdebug: true

Then lando rebuild to apply.

Running Tests (Lando)

lando phpunit web/modules/custom/MODULE/tests/
lando phpcs web/modules/custom/MODULE/
lando php ./vendor/bin/phpstan analyse web/modules/custom/MODULE

Key Rules

Always prefix commands with ddev or lando depending on the environment
Check for .ddev/config.yaml or .lando.yml to detect the environment
Use ddev describe or lando info to find database credentials and URLs
Always backup the database before major operations
Disable Xdebug when not debugging (it slows PHP significantly)
Use Mailpit/MailHog for email testing — never send real emails from dev
