Move to "ready for review" when it is, thanks! |

Sounds good, I was waiting for #111 to go in first as my example for it. |

Now this one is live, thanks for your patience. Rebased. |
|
I will do a final editorial round and add maybe another tip or two and set it for review. |
|
Let me know when ready. |
|
@rfay it's ready for review. |

I appreciate all your work in making this work, and I've used your DDEV setup without trouble in the last few articles I've written!
Unfortunately, this lacks focus at this point and can't be published. You need to come up with one thing that the article is about and focus on that. I think it's about how to work on ddev.com using DDEV. If that's what it is, zero in on that and simplify it and remember that most people won't read very many paragraphs.
You might consider asking ChatGPT or another chatbot like claude.ai for coaching on it as well, or if you have a person that can help, that's cool too.
If you'd like to do a separate article on Astro and DDEV, with simple general instructions for setting that up, that would be welcome as well, but needs clear focus and needs to be simple enough that people will keep reading.
Thanks so much for all your work on this site and the using-DDEV contribution in the first place, and thanks for this. It has a future, but has to be much simplified.

Please use local avatar, I guess that's preferred.

Maybe :) But we're going to get it!

| DDEV.com is an [Astro](https://astro.build/) website. Astro is fantastic tool that packed with features that provide a low-entry barrier for developers looking to contribute features, issues and more. Among it's highlights are its low hosting cost, file-based routing, and extensive Markdown support. | ||
|
|
||
| That said, for a while this website did not use DDEV. Adding DDEV makes it easier for those with the tool to contribute PRs, but also provides an example on how other projects can take advantage of it. |

It's unclear what we're talking about here. Strengthen this paragraph.
|
|
||
| As of this article, there are two ways to setup your local development on DDEV.com. With DDEV and without DDEV. Whichever is easier and more convenient for you. | ||
|
|
||
| This guide will highlight what was required to add DDEV to an Astro project. It's meant to provide you with some background as well as tips along the way. That said, feel free to look at this [website](https://github.com/ddev/ddev.com/blob/main/.ddev/config.yaml) config first and reverse engineer your approach if that's easier. |

If the article is about how to use DDEV with Astro, it would be better to just add a step-by-step at the end saying how. People don't need to look at the config.yaml though.
|
|
||
| The instructions below assume you have DDEV and Docker installed and globally available. | ||
|
|
||
| ## 1. Run `ddev config` |

Take a look at the local preview to see that this isn't working out - you can't use ## 1. in both these places, doesn't do anything.
|
|
||
| ## 1. Vite in DDEV | ||
|
|
||
| There are a couple of ways one could run Vite in DDEV. |

Just say what you did, don't talk about a couple of ways.
|
Sounds good, I didn't think I could get two blogs out of this one but that's a great observation. I will look into the tips above. |
|
Thanks for taking this up again! I've put it in draft mode, let me know when it's ready for another review. |

@rfay its ready for another pass. |
|
Probably needs an update after recent changes so I will change to draft for now. |
|
Is this still being worked on? |
|
Great question. So much work was put into the Vite article that this is probably redundant. |
The Issue
This PR adds a new article to ddev.com. It highlights how to add ddev support to an astro site such as ddev.com.
Note
I tried pushing this branch to ddev.com but it gave an authentication error. I will try with some other changes later and see if I need to change my settings to do that and allow the Cloudfare previews.
