How to mount a custom directory into my project?

[marcagrio]

I don't see an option to define custom mounts in my project's config.yaml. Is there a way to do it?

I have set up a hook to do a database dump on post start, but I want to move this to a shell script outside of my project so I can share it between DDEV projects.

Hi @marcagrio.

You can define a custom mount point as described here https://stackoverflow.com/a/57432155

By the way you can communicate with another project's database using ddev-<projectname>-db as the hostname of the other project.
