I need some advise from other Web developers.
What program do you use for local programming where you have the newest version of php?
Would like to have multiple sites running and mamp can't do that.

Virtual Machines, Laragon, Vagrant, Docker... pick your poison.

I'm a docker person, mostly because I can easily run exact setups

@liammartens @WerewolfCustoms i have heard about docker, but is it easy to run (on windows). Have only heard good things about it, but haven't had the time to look into it yet.
Have used vagrant before and was thinking using that, but wanted to hear what other developers use 😊

@liammartens Oh you and your docker 😘

@SpeedyCate when I tried using Docker on Windows I did have some known issue with the network bridge 🤔at the time there were no workarounds though I believe there is one now. (runs best on a unix based system though and I tried installing it under bash for Windows but that wasn't successfull)

@linuxxx 😂

@liammartens Hrm okay. I'll look at it and hope it'll work on windows. Unfortunately I can't install ubuntu on my work computer :/

Docker runs perfectly fine on Windows. And, also install Kitematic.

@WerewolfCustoms it has issues with those bluetooth/wifi combo cards I do believe. At least back when I tried it on Windows

@liammartens That would be defined as an 'edge case' in my book :D

@WerewolfCustoms weeelll a lot of HP laptops have cards like that 😁

I'm using Laragon and couldn't be happier with it. Recommend!!!

@liammartens Never touching one of those ever again! :D

Trying to set up docker but can't figure out how to get an apache2 up and running with an open port. Thought it would be easy 😁

@SpeedyCate docker does require a bit of a learning curve 😂

@SpeedyCate
Just find an image that is already set up with things you need.

@SpeedyCate you can browse images on http://hub.docker.com

I personally use Vagrant for it. Sure it's an overkill compared to docker, but still, it's nice. (For the lazy ones: https://puphpet.com)

I use a Ubuntu server in my basement. Works great. When I'm happy with whatever I've made i publish it to my DO Droplet.

RVM 😉

Docker for Windows is only available for Windows 10
