Docksal

Docksal is a command-line tool, fin, that sets up a local web development environment from Docker Compose stacks, with a web server, a database and the tools a project names. The install guide installs it with a script that runs on macOS, Linux and Windows, and the project’s own documentation covers the services, the custom commands and the stock images. The project’s README lists boilerplates for Drupal, WordPress, Laravel and other systems, which fin project create uses to build a starting project.

Docksal is maintained by its own team under the MIT license.

Worth knowing

On Windows, the install guide asks for WSL 1 and says that WSL 2 is not supported by Docksal. On macOS and Windows the containers run through Docker Desktop or VirtualBox, so the host needs one of them.
