A comprehensive DDEV add-on for scaffolding WordPress projects, syncing data from remote servers via SSH, and setting up automated GitHub deployments.
ddev get dmind-gmbh/ddev-pull-pluginddev setupThe wizard will guide you through:
- Configuring
.gitignorefor DDEV/WordPress. - Initializing a fresh WordPress install (optional).
- Installing the d-mind Master-Theme and default plugins (ACF Pro, dmind-fse-blocks).
- Setting up remote server configurations (
dev,stage,live). - Generating GitHub Action deployment workflows for multiple environments.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
ddev setup |
Launches the interactive project setup wizard. |
ddev pull [env] |
Syncs DB and Files from a remote server (dev, stage, live). |
ddev deploy [env] |
One-time initial deployment of local DB and Files to a remote server. |
ddev auth ssh |
Authenticates your SSH key with the DDEV web container (required for pull/push). |
Configuration is split into two files per environment to ensure security:
.env.{env}: Shared settings (SSH Host, Paths, DB Names). Safe to commit..env.{env}.local: Private secrets (SSH Ports, DB Passwords, ACF Keys). Ignored by Git.
The plugin automates the repetitive "day 0" tasks. It downloads WordPress, sets up the wp-config.php for DDEV, and can clone the company's master theme and block plugins. It also handles the installation of ACF Pro using an environment-stored license key.
Uses a high-performance "streaming" approach. It executes mysqldump on the remote server and pipes the output directly into the DDEV database, performing domain replacements on the fly. It then uses rsync to pull down media files and translations.
Provides a safe way to perform the first deployment to a new server. It exports your local database, replaces your local .ddev.site domain with the remote production domain, and uploads everything via SSH.
Generates ready-to-use .github/workflows/deploy-{env}.yml files. These workflows are configured to deploy specific branches to specific servers using rsync, with support for environment-specific secrets.
