Please don't use ports in docker-compose

[rfay]

Congratulations on this add-on! People have asked for this periodically for years.

You use ports in each of the stanzas of the docker-compose.

This means that this add-on can only be used in one running project.

Instead, use expose, and HTTP_EXPOSE and HTTPS_EXPOSE environment variables to accomplish what you want.

You can look at many other add-ons to see how this is done, or docs, see https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users/extend/custom-compose-files/#docker-composeyaml-examples

When I do that, I get '404 not found' on the first service and "Bad Gateway" on the second:
