The Hook DDEV 1.25.0 ships experimental support for Podman and Docker rootless, opening up new corporate-friendly runtimes while introducing a few practical trade-offs.

Why I Built It The Podman and rootless workflows depend on specific global settings (ports, mount mode). I wanted a fast, repeatable way to confirm a workstation is configured before teams flip the switch.

The Solution I built a CLI that audits global_config.yaml and flags missing settings for Podman or Docker rootless, with a focused checklist for macOS Podman users.

What I Learned

• DDEV 1.25.0 adds experimental support for both Podman and Docker rootless.
• Podman on macOS cannot bind to ports 80/443, so DDEV needs router ports set to 8080/8443.
• Docker rootless cannot use bind mounts, so no-bind-mounts mode is required.
• DDEV global configuration lives in global_config.yaml, and the config can live under $HOME/.ddev or an XDG location.
