  • Laradock

    Full PHP development environment for Docker.

  • lando

    A development tool for all your projects that is fast, easy, powerful and liberating

  • 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.

  • lamp-docker

    LAMP Stack on Docker with NODE/NPM for PHP development.

  • I use a LAMP docker environment: https://github.com/danielefavi/lamp-docker

  • starter-workflows

    Accelerating new GitHub Actions workflows

  • If you have not heard of GitHub Actions or Bitbucket Pipelines they are CI/CD tools that live in on GitHub/Bitbucket and will spin up when you commit code.

  • Composer-docker

    Composer in Docker (by composer)

  • I've got a local version of PHP installed, but I really don't need it. Composer has an official docker container: https://hub.docker.com/_/composer/

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • docs

    The main docs site for Lando (by lando)

  • I've been using Lando since switching back to a Mac at work. Basically a convenience layer on top of Docker Compose.
