Setting up DDEV + PhpStorm + Xdebug can seem very complicated, when in fact it's pretty easy here in 2025.

The last DDEV + PhpStorm video Debugging Code in No Time with DDEV-Local, PhpStorm, and Xdebug is from August 2020.

Describe your solution

It would be extremely useful with a fresh DDEV + PhpStorm + Xdebug (and Drupal?) video from @rfay here in 2025, and especially helpful for new users, since it all looks very daunting, and complicated to set up -- when it's really not. As long as you know the right steps, in the right order :)

Perhaps include demo of these things as well in a new video, to really show case just what a powerful combination it is, using a CMS such as Drupal as an example?

  • Getting Drupal development-ready, installing top 5 PhpStorm Drupal plug-ins, and showing code completion
  • Demoing Xdebug breakpoints
  • More?

Since everything more or less works out of the box, perhaps first do a "QuickStart-style" fast-run, with minimal configuration, except for the required steps, like installing plug-ins.

Only after that, open up the can of worms of showing all the complex configuration, which is indeed possible :)
