We want to use the same (staging) database for our project within our team. So we can develop on our local machines with DDEV and can share the database, so we dont have to export the database and import it on anothers team members machine. The DDEV Project is also being stored in a GIT Repo, so each teammember can pull the newest settings of the DDEV Container onto their local machine.
I can access the external Database if I modify the AdditionalConfiguration.php, but if the DDEV Container gets restarted then it overwrites the AdditionalConfiguration.php file. I haven't found a way to set the database connection within the ddev contaienr config, so when the container gets started it sets the correct Database connection (external Database) in the AdditionalConfiguration.php.
Does anyone know how to set a custom database conenction in a DDEV Container?
Thanks for the Help.

There are many ways to manage your settings files in ddev, and you can tell ddev not to manage your settings files.
disable_settings_management: true in your project config.yaml. Then you and you alone are responsible for the settings files.#ddev-generated from it and check it in or whatever. Then ddev won't touch it.For more detail and nuance, see the docs on this subject, https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/stable/users/usage/cms-settings/
I think you could also overwrite the settings in the TYPO3 setup after the inclusion/execution of AdditionalSettings.php
