Reading Install Drupal CMS, I gather that the suggested path is installing Drupal CMS locally using DDEV and then migrate the data to the hosting provider. I think that the suggestion to only use DDEV for local installations is done on purpose, probably because it is easier to help with possible errors people could face.

I understand but then we do not learn how to do fix it. Also, To run Drupal/CMS only needs a DB and Nginx (and several PHP modules). For these, it is not really necessary a docker.

Also, i will need to deploy a PROD version in Azure App. In this case the pg will be a new Azure service, not a container that has all the CMS needs.
Where can i read how to do it?

Note that i do not intend to use any marketplace installation.
Also, i am having a hard time to read to do use CMS to develop locally custom themes, custom components, etc...
I ended following the only instructions installing DDEV and without touching any code i already got:

  1. The computer hibernated. On resume the DDEV was not responding anymore
  2. I went to *Appearance* and install and defined as default a existing Theme. And i already got errors: the CSS stops loading. And i do not find why or any documentation how to fix this (and this as a fresh wsl2 with a fresh cms install following the instructions).

Also, why there is no search here in the forums?
Thanks.

@kaspanoombro, https://www.drupal.org/docs/getting-started/installing-drupal includes information on installing Drupal without using DDEV.

For support, there are several support options listed on our Support page, including the Drupal Forums and Drupal Answers. There is also Drupal Slack. You may get better replies in one of those places.
