Ask HN: Best way to simultaneously run multiple projects locally?
https://ddev.com/ has become standard in the circles I run in (most are web devs working in agencies touching multiple projects each week). You don't have to use DDEV specifically, but it works like a dream and may provide some inspiration.
Each project gets its own Docker Compose file. These allow you to set up whatever project specific services and configuration you need.
None of your projects need to expose a port. Instead each project gets a unique name like `fooproject` and `barproject` and the container listening to port 80 is named `project-web`.
It all gets tied together by a single global NGINX/Traefik/Caddy container (you choose) that exposes port 80 and 443 and reverse proxies to each projects web container using Docker's internal network. In pseudo-code:

Run PHPUnit locally in your WordPress Plugin with DDEV
Recently, I discovered DDEV. DDEV is an open source tool for launching local web development environments that can be extended, version controlled, and shared across a team easily. With DDEV, we can take advantage of a Docker workflow without Docker experience. Cool right? Of course, it is important to know how docker works under the hood, and beginners should experiment with it. However, later on, why to reinvent the wheel? Give DDEV a chance, and you won't regret it.

PHP Doesn't Suck Anymore
Debugging is pretty easy with something like Ray (https://myray.app/) or Laravel Herd (https://herd.laravel.com/, despite its name runs differnet php apps just fine).
When it coems to running different PHP versions, modern PHP development has largely moved to using Docker (ddev, for example: https://ddev.com/) for that, and there's plenty Docker images for old PHP versions so it's a non-issue. I'd also imagine it be difficult to get many other outdated programming languages via a package manager.
There's now the PHP Foundation, which while relatively new in its formation, has significantly boosted PHP development and I'd recommend donating if improving the language is important to you.

Easy installation for WordPress + SQLite
For development, I will still prefer to continue with DDEV (a tool that I highly recommend). But the adventure with SQLite was very interesting, it really helped me not to pollute my termux.
