How to connect with SSH or SFTP to a local DDEV Container?

I installed:

I installed TYPO3 with:

composer create-project typo3/cms-base-distribution ddevtypo3 ^8

I configured DDEV with:

cd ddevtypo3
ddev config

and hit 3 times Enter for default-values for: project-name, docroot, project-type.

Now (nearly finished) I started DDEV with:

ddev start

Everything works fine: I become my 'Thank you for downloading TYPO3' Installwindow on my local DDEV Server ddevtypo3.ddev.local works.

Now I want to connect with my Coda2 to the Container. If I type ddev ssh in the Terminal, I come in the DDEV container, but how can I configure Coda2 to use SFTP or SSH to connect to the DDEV.

Somebody can give me the right hint?

Perhaps I have to configure SSH or SFTP for the DDEV.

Edit:

I want to use the SFTP Connection to just for editing files on the Container and SSH to connect with the Coda-Terminal to the Container.

Solution

  • I don't have to connect to the local Container with SSH, because I can edit the files directly local:

    In Coda2

    • In the file-browser tab I can browse local (the left window).
    • And in the site-window I can press at the bottom left of the earth-globe and it's also the local filesystem.

    I also can commit and push to my Gitlab with the terminal. I don't need the Coda2-SSH-Connection to my Container also for publishing my work to Git.

    • In the shell-tab click the drop-down of Connection and select localhost.
    • Or simply use the Terminal of the MacBook
      • I also can use ddev ssh to connect to the container (both ways)

    I realize now: that was not a good question, but I don't delete it to get others informed for this thinking errors - and the way to get all done without the way I'd tried.

    And for new ddev-users, like me... ;)
