@diskyer Thanks for this, however the DEFAULT_DVL_CONTAINERS are created like that as intentional purpose. In real-life working scenarios (like us), we worked through multiple PHP versions and we need ability to init new projects without knowing too much about infra changes locally.

Regarding mysql-db-user-manager.sh, can you combine this into dvl.sh as new sub-commands (e.g dvl db:import) ?

Hi @nntoan!

Thanks for the feedback. I've updated the PR with the following changes:

• Reverted DEFAULT_DVL_CONTAINERS to their original state (kept them untouched).
• Integrated the functionality of mysql-db-user-manager.sh into dvl.sh as new sub-commands:
  • db-create: Create a new database and user.
  • db-grant: Grant privileges to an existing user on an existing database.
  • db-user: Create a new MySQL user (without a database).
  • db-password: Change the password for an existing MySQL user.
• Added a helpful notice for users when the DEVILBOX_PATH environment variable is not set:
  ✘ Environment variable DEVILBOX_PATH is not set. How to fix: ...
• Removed mysql-db-user-manager.sh as it is no longer needed.
