Devilbox

Docker-based local development environment for PHP projects, with web servers, PHP versions, databases and development tools as containers.

Devilbox is a Docker-based development environment for PHP projects, meant to run on the developer’s own machine. Its web servers, PHP versions and databases run as containers that the developer starts with docker-compose, and the README describes the aim as a reproducible environment that runs on all major platforms. The stack ships Apache and Nginx, several PHP and MySQL versions, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis and Memcached among its containers, and the README names CakePHP, Laravel and WordPress among the frameworks it supports.

Worth knowing

Docker Engine and Docker Compose are required, and the README gives minimum versions for both. The newest listed release is a pre-release, and the last stable release comes before it. The copyright line names cytopia as the maintainer, and no company or legal name is stated.
