This document discusses setting up Docker for PHP projects using DDEV. It introduces DDEV as a tool for adding Docker to PHP applications with an easy command line interface and configuration. It then demonstrates adding DDEV to a Laravel project, configuring DDEV, adding basic tests, deploying the application to GitLab for continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) using Envoy to define tasks for the remote server and manage releases.
