typo3-ddev

Use whenever a running TYPO3 instance is wanted, started or reached: ddev commands, backend URLs, DDEV setup, multi-version testing — and when DDEV cannot run, so the instance must be provisioned directly. Triggers on: I need an instance, install TYPO3 locally, ddev URLs, docker environment, CI or container without DDEV.

Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/netresearch/typo3-ddev-skill --skill typo3-ddev
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads typo3-ddev automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

TYPO3 DDEV Setup Skill

CRITICAL: URL Scheme

NEVER guess URLs. Read name: from .ddev/config.yaml, then apply the subdomain pattern:

https://v{VERSION}.{sitename}.ddev.site/typo3/ · Landing: https://{sitename}.ddev.site/ · Docs: https://docs.{sitename}.ddev.site/

Each version gets a vhost (/var/www/html/v{VERSION}) via additional_hostnames. Never infer URLs from directory listings.

Credentials: admin / Joh316!!

Container Priority

  1. .ddev/ exists → ddev exec
  2. docker-compose.yml → docker compose exec
  3. System tools only if no container. Use project's configured PHP.

No DDEV available (CI, container, agent harness — DDEV drives Docker): read .ddev/config.yaml and .ddev/commands/, then scripts/provision-without-ddev.sh --extension . --serve. The distribution ships no .htaccess, so /typo3/ answers 200 while sub-routes 404 — references/without-ddev.md.

In-container edits: docker cp in, then ddev exec — not heredocs/php -r. See references/container-file-editing.md.

Quick Start

ddev start && ddev install-all    # All versions (11/12/13/14)
ddev install-v14                  # v14.3 LTS (default / gold standard)
ddev install-v13                  # v13.4 LTS

Database Selection

MariaDB 10.11 (default) · SQLite · PostgreSQL 16 · MySQL 8.0. See references/advanced-options.md, references/0002-mariadb-default-with-database-alternatives.md.

PHP Management

php_version: "8.3" in config.yaml. Upgrade via .ddev/web-build/Dockerfile. Settings: .ddev/php/custom.ini. See references/0003-php-version-management.md.

Post-Setup Verification

ddev status, ddev describe, ddev exec -d /var/www/html/v13 vendor/bin/typo3 extension:list --active. Check a consequence, not a status: /typo3/login must answer 200. See references/post-setup-verification.md.
