In order to get a configuration that has the proper site key, it is easiest to first deploy the site to the eventual live location, and sync that database locally.
If you are creating a specialized build of Drutopia, you will have to add that to the host vars, and build that prior to deploying the site. `ahoy vars-edit` and `ahoy deploy-build <build_target>` are used for this. Note that new builds should be added ONLY as absolutely required. Configuration, and themes should be leveraged as much as possible prior to resorting to a new build. If additional/different modules are required, a new build is required - do *NOT* add them to `build_source` except when they are known to be required for *ALL* Drutopia basic sites.

New builds should be added **only** as absolutely required. Configuration, and themes should be leveraged as much as possible prior to resorting to a new build. If additional modules are required, consider adding them to `build_source`, knowing they will be available for *all* Drutopia SaaS sites.

Create a new site (member entry) per instructions in Drutopia hosting. The simplest method is to use `ahoy new-site <member-slug>` and follow its output to get started. Then use `ahoy deploy-site <member-instance>` to deploy one. Because the install using `drush site-install` that would be run when `drupal_install: true` is set in the site settings in Drutopia hosting, it is currently recommended to set this to false and use the UI installer or run `php docroot/core/scripts/drupal quick-start drutopia --no-interaction` when ssh'd into the server.

### Syncing, and setting up configuration
Drutopia releases will expect the configuration in `$project_root/config/sync`. Be sure to set the appropriate variable in `settings.php` for it to be stored/retrieved from there. Note not to use `settings.ddev.php`, as this will be generated during `ddev start`:
Our standard is to place configuration exports in `$project_root/config`. Set the this in `settings.php`:
```php
$settings['config_sync_directory'] = '../config/sync';
$settings['config_sync_directory'] = '../config';
