ddev

ddev is an open source tool that makes it simple to get local PHP development environments up and running in minutes. It's powerful and flexible as a result of its per-project environment configurations, which can be extended, version controlled, and shared. In short, ddev aims to allow development teams to use Docker in their workflow without the complexities of bespoke configuration.

Get Started

1. Check System Requirements: DDEV runs the same on macOS (M1 and amd64), Windows 10/11, WSL2, Linux, and Gitpod.io.
2. Install docker/colima and DDEV.
3. Try a CMS Quick Start Guide.
