Laradock

Use Docker First: Learn About It Later!

Laradock is a full PHP development environment for Docker. It ships pre-configured, ready-to-use containers for everything a PHP application needs, Nginx, PHP-FPM, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, and 100+ more, so you can launch a complete local stack in seconds without any manual setup.

It works with any PHP project and behaves the same on Linux, macOS, and Windows. One clone, one command, and a full stack is running. Environment setup is where PHP projects lose their first day, Laradock gives it back.

Why Laradock?
• Any PHP version, from 5.6 to 8.5, set it, rebuild, and you're on it.
• 100+ ready-made services: databases, caches, queues, search engines, and more, all pre-configured.
• An all-in-one dev shell with PHP, Composer, Node, and Git built in, nothing installed on your host.
• Deploy to production: turn your dev stack into a hardened image and run it anywhere.
• Local AI, built in: run LLMs and vector search locally with Ollama, LiteLLM, pgvector, and Qdrant.
• One identical environment across Linux, macOS, and Windows, so your whole team shares the same stack.
• Framework-agnostic: works with Laravel, Symfony, WordPress, Magento, Drupal, or plain PHP.
