Suggestion for: Install Drupal CMS locally with DDEV

I finally figured out that running this command:

dev drush site:install --account-name=admin --account-pass=admin -y

told Drupal about the database, letting me login. Maybe something like that should be in the instructions?

For what I recall, the default database credentials used by DDEV are always the same, independently from the project. After ddev start, ddev describe will report the database credentials, which is helpful in the case the project uses different credentials.

The database name, the database host, the database port, the credentials, and the database name are in the settings.ddev.php file, which contains lines like the following ones.

$host = "db";
$port = 3306;
$driver = "mysql";

$databases['default']['default']['database'] = "db";
$databases['default']['default']['username'] = "db";
$databases['default']['default']['password'] = "db";
$databases['default']['default']['host'] = $host;
$databases['default']['default']['port'] = $port;
$databases['default']['default']['driver'] = $driver;

I am not sure it is necessary to add that information in the documentation for Drupal 11. That should be placed in the DDEV documentation.
