DDEV Guide - Update Contao Installation DDEV Guide

[fkaminski]

See: https://github.com/contao/contao-demo?tab=readme-ov-file#using-composer

What I actually meant is whether it should go here:

Because you either execute

ddev composer create contao/managed-edition:5.3

or (presumably)

ddev composer create contao/contao-demo:5.3

But ultimately this is up to whatever makes the most sense for ddev users.

@fritzmg Maybe we should better show the two installation options (Contao & Demo Website) via tabs?

Furthermore I got some tips from the DDEV community regarding the current version v1.23.5.
I would like to include them here as well.

If it's okay with you - WDYT?

May be, but then you will have to integrate the whole explanation from https://github.com/contao/contao-demo?tab=readme-ov-file#using-composer

I don't use DDEV, so I have no opinions on this ;)

Yepp - please give me a try - coming soon ...

The last commit seperates installing options (via tabs) concerning Composer/Contao Manager workflow.
Hint about the Contao Demo Website Installation is mentioned (via CM - as announced in slack)

FYI:

• --create-docroot - This is a outdated ddev flag, removed.
• using dotenv with newer ddev version
• ddev exec bin/console ... replaced with ddev exec contao-console ...

The workflow is now identical to the DDEV Contao Quickstart. The PR 6674 has been tested & merged by their community
You can find it here: https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users/quickstart/#contao

Just as a note to record the current, working procedure regarding the »Contao demo website« installation via Composer here:

mkdir cto-demo && cd cto-demo
ddev config --project-type=php --docroot=public --webserver-type=apache-fpm --php-version=8.2
ddev composer create contao/contao-demo:5.3

ddev composer config --no-plugins allow-plugins.contao-components/installer true
ddev composer config --no-plugins allow-plugins.contao/manager-plugin true
ddev composer install

ddev dotenv set .env.local --database-url=mysql://db:db@db:3306/db --mailer-dsn=smtp://localhost:1025
ddev exec contao-console contao:backup:restore
ddev exec contao-console contao:migrate --no-interaction
ddev exec contao-console contao:user:create --username=admin --name=Administrator --email=[admin@example.com](mailto:admin@example.com) --language=en --admin

ddev launch

Since it currently requires further information (Composer experience - see Add allow-plugins) & the guide should be kept “simple”, I have not included this for the time being.

[fritzmg]

The group ID of the tabs is shared across the whole site, so it should either reference an existing group with the same tab names - or a unique one.
