laragon VS docker-compose-laravel

Laragon

I usually use laragon there it comes with apache server can install php version and has composer built in. https://laragon.org/ also can set up quick app scrpt so on right mouse click will start install process for any php based project you want

In an earlier comment, /u/Readyman2627 recommended https://laragon.org, which apparently helps you get a local database server running.

For development purposes I use Laragon which usually spares you the hassle of manually setting up SQL and Apache. However, on my new desktop I ran into an issue when I tried to enable SSL for Apache: Oh no, Laragon detected exceptions! The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it After showing the message Laragon just closes. On the other hand, the problem does not occur if I just start the services without SSL enabled.

I use https://laragon.org/ for all my local development and I can wholeheartedly recommend it fo ease of use. UI is a bit clunky though.

If you use Windows then laragon has a quick app install for Laravel.

They did... for example https://github.com/aschmelyun/docker-compose-laravel/issues/145 was an ascii art penis but it was deleted by github staff. Another one I saw was anime hentai art.

I've been maintaining and iterating on a basic Docker Compose setup for Laravel over the last year or so. It's worked well enough for local development, which was what I originally intended it for. Ever since I released it though, I've had multiple people sending me concerns and GitHub issues surrounding permissions problems.

If you'd like to dive into my setup, you can check it out on GitHub: github.com/aschmelyun/docker-compose-laravel/blob/main/docker-compose.yml

Here's a laravel project template that includes mysql, nginx, php, and redis as a docker-compose file: https://github.com/aschmelyun/docker-compose-laravel

I honestly just rolled my own with Docker and Docker Compose. You can check out what I've been using for every new project in this repo here if you want to see how I did it. If I was starting again from scratch today, I'd still probably go the same route (maybe consolidating the webserver/php containers into one image, but it's worked great for local dev so far).

I have a repo that I've been tweaking over the course of the last year that's my go-to starter kit for all of my local project's dev environments.
