Workflow

This skill provides comprehensive management for high-performance Magento 2 environments on DDEV.

1. Environment & Services

  • PhpMyAdmin: Database management interface.
  • Mailpit: Email testing interface.
  • XHGui: Performance profiling UI.
  • RabbitMQ: Management dashboard.

  • Access via http://opensearch:9200.
  • Check status: ddev exec curl -s opensearch:9200.
• Elasticsearch 8: Access via http://elasticsearch:9200.
• Configuration: During install, use --search-engine=opensearch --opensearch-host=opensearch --opensearch-port=9200.

4. Typical Installation Workflow
