I'm trying to run ddev outside my home directory. Colima is the docker platform. I'm wondering how I am able to make it fully run in an external hard disk.

I've added a Drupal9 site in my external hard disk and ran ddev config.

I then started it using ddev start.

I tried installing a Drupal site using the following command but got an error:

$ ddev drush si --site-name="Drupal 9" --account-name="admin" --account-pass="admin"
OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:380: starting container process caused: exec: "/mnt/ddev_config/.global_commands/web/drush": stat /mnt/ddev_config/.global_commands/web/drush: no such file or directory: unknown
Failed to run drush si --site-name=Drupal 9 --account-name=admin --account-pass=admin: exit status 126

Is there a way to have ddev fully run in the external hard disk? Thanks!

Colima by default mounts only the home directory. You can make it mount other things in the config file. You'll want to experiment with the mounts configuration in colima.yml. The default is:

# Colima default behaviour: $HOME and /tmp/colima are mounted as writable.
# Default: []
mounts: []

Thanks! I was able to get it running using the following:

$ colima start --cpu 4 --memory 8 --dns 8.8.8.8 --dns 1.1.1.1 --disk 128 --mount "/Volumes/ExtremeSSD/Projects:w" --mount "~:w"

I also needed to do ddev composer install instead of doing it in the host so that the permissions are handled correctly otherwise I get binaries inside vendor/bin not executable. I usually do composer install in the host so that it's faster.
