Topics Review Chad's goals for the previous week DDEV performance improvements Install Drupal 10 Install drupal/core-dev Configure and test phpcs Test phpstan settings.local.php Install Devel module Review Chad's questions Rancher Desktop appears to be holding on to port 443 after I installed it. Although I changed the port to something else, do you have any suggestions to update the setup to use ports 443 and 80 instead?

Do I start with the community config, then overwrite the code, database, and files? Is there a better approach?
