Improve the Start Command

[brianvarskonst]

Hello,

first of All, great Plugin!

Currently I don't saw a opportunity to extend the start command which only executes ddev start, I require e.g. on my local ssh keys at my daily work where I use them in the DDEV container with ddev auth ssh. So currently I start DDEV from my local terminal that way:

$ ddev start && ddev auth ssh && ddev ssh

Would be great to have the possibility to extend the start command, then it would be perfect for me.

Thank you!

Same for me. I would advice you to add everything you need to run after ddev start to a post-start hook.

Add these lines to your .ddev/config.yml to execute ddev auth ssh automatically when DDEV ist started:

hooks:
  post-start:
    - exec-host: "ddev auth ssh"

Here you can find additional information about ddev hooks: https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/stable/users/extending-commands/

Please let me know if this solves your issue, or if you think a change to the plugin is needed still.

Hello @nico-loeber,

I thought also as a possible solution, but there seems to me like a domain-driven application to the config.yml which should not be located at a generic configuration file for a project, but it's a solution. 👍🏻

Thank you.
