  • lokl

    Instant WordPress local development for Mac, Win & Linux

  • It might be worth mentioning that Lokl [0] seems to be from the same author [1] as the "wp2static" plugin [2], my and many others go to for static site generation of WordPress.

    I find Lokl and interesting take, although the usual self-serve script is kind of annoying for power users (what I mean is that this bash scripts tried to do everything for you and it's less transparent), I recommend the repo [4] as the source of the actual Dockerfiles, that you could just reference in something like a docker-compose setup.

    The Dockerfiles are kind of surprising since they read more like a an ansible-playbook than like a Dockerfile. This one image has it all - php, nginx, mariadb, phpmyadmin and who knows what else [4]. It's an interesting approach to Docker images, certainly against the recommendation but might have some good reasoning for something as special as WordPress.

  • devilbox

    A modern Docker LAMP stack and MEAN stack for local development

  • Looks interesting, but Devilbox is my go to environment. Very robust and supports nearly everything you’ll need.

  • gutenberg

    The Block Editor project for WordPress and beyond. Plugin is available from the official repository.

  • Another alternative is wp-env, which is a small node wrapper over Docker. It’s meant to be very straightforward to use, though less powerful than other tools. It’s used for a lot of core editor development. You basically just have a JSON file pointing at whatever local source code you’re developing (or alternative options you need), wp-env start, and you’re good to go.

    I’ve done a lot of development on the project, and it could always use more contributors: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/tree/trunk/packages/e...

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
