    I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Lando. It uses docker/docker compose under the hood, but adds a further layer of abstraction to make it even easier. Comes with base recipes out of the box for Drupal/WordPress/etc.

    I spend most of my day writing PHP, HTML, CSS, and JS running the apps I build and support in Docker via Lando (https://lando.dev) (I mainly build and support Drupal web applications)

    Lando works great with Linux, use DDEV for Mac. Both are Docker-based.

    I recommend Lando. It's basically just a wrapper around Docker that takes care of a lot of the config for you.

    I would say Docker is probably your best bet. There are some projects out there that do a lot of the heavy lifting for you like LandoDev and Devilbox. Also, Homestead (which is NOT Docker) is still a pretty solid pick. https://lando.dev/ http://devilbox.org/ https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/homestead Some reading if you happen to subscribe to php[architect] :wink: https://www.phparch.com/article/the-devilbox-and-docker/ https://www.phparch.com/article/the-workshop-just-use-docker/ https://www.phparch.com/article/the-workshop-using-sail-to-understand-local-development-with-docker/ I would say Docker is probably your best bet.

    Luckily there are some tools that can help you setup a per project development environment using docker. Tools like ddev, lando or docksal will get your projects running in no time.
  • Do you Dockerise all your apps?

    I've found https://lando.dev/ handy, too, especially for anything that needs "real"(ish) domains to test with like a SaaS app that permits clients to pick a custom domain. It's a thin layer on top of Docker intended for development use.

    If your computer is powerful enough, you can run docker on it and then use a tool like Lando (http://lando.dev) to run Drupal. Once you have the Drupal 6 site running you can upload your database to it.
