How do you set up a local development environment for your pet projects on Windows?

Question

PHP

I'm tired of having two different systems on my computer. Decided to transfer everything to Windows. I thought about how to raise a dev environment for developing my small projects (php, mysql, redis ...), OpenServer, etc. not always suitable - there is no way to install pecl extensions.
How do you deploy your environment?
Docker, vagrant, virtual or maybe. something else?
So far, vagrant seems convenient to me, but lately, like the tendency to migrate from it to Docker, is there a good reason for that?
Under Linux I used docker-compose+Laradock, everything is fine, but there are still quite a lot of settings, and a couple of times it happened that I had to dig for a long time in search of an error

Answer 1

www.easyphp.org
And everything else you need is hand-delivered.
Everything is very easy to set up and even without editing the PATH environment!

Answer 2

For all platforms, so as not to change anything anywhere - Docker.

Answer 3

IMHO you will be disappointed with PECL under Windows.
Modules are mostly compiled for UNIX
and developers often rely on OS features that are
not implemented in the Windows version or work through one place.
