flock-php / flock
Free, open-source local development environment for PHP and Laravel on macOS, Windows and Linux. Native processes, no Docker.
Why this job: works in the areas we cover, but does not say which job it does
What it does
- .test domains with real HTTPS. Park a folder, or link one project, and every app gets its own .test domain, subdomains included. HTTPS works without browser warnings. See Domains and HTTPS.
- A PHP version per project. PHP 8.1 to 8.5 run side by side, and each project picks its own. Node.js too, from .nvmrc. See PHP and Node.js.
- Databases in one click. PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Valkey, Meilisearch and RustFS (plus Typesense on macOS and Linux, and Redis on macOS) run as native processes that start with your computer. See Services.
- Every email, caught. Mail your apps send lands in a local inbox, one per app, and never reaches real people. See Mail.
- dump() without the mess. dump() and dd() output, queries, logs and views show up in a timeline grouped by request, with links to your editor. No code changes needed. See Dumps.
