The Devilbox is a versatile and highly customisable zero-conf PHP Docker stack supporting LEMP and MEAN as well as Websockets, Node, Python and Golang via automated Reverse Proxy integraton.

The main goal is to provide a reproducible development environment that runs on all major platforms and is able to switch and combine any version you need. It supports an unlimited number of projects for which vhosts, SSL certificates and DNS records are created automatically. Email interception and popular development tools will be at your service as well. Configuration is not necessary, as everything is already pre-setup.

All created projects (frontend or backend) will be able to communicate with one another to support the emulation of a complete microservice architecture or an API landscape.

Available Architectures: amd64, arm64
Available PHP Versions: 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2

Version Matrix
[1] PHP 5.2 is available to use, but it is not officially supported. The Devilbox intranet does not work with this version as PHP 5.2 does not support namespaces. Furthermore PHP 5.2 does only work with Apache 2.4, Nginx stable and Nginx mainline. It does not work with Apache 2.2. Use at your own risk.
