How to set up a web server with virtual hosts on a mac?
I'm sitting under a poppy, there was a mamp server for development,
then I needed virtual hosts, I was tormented by putting everything separately in a bunch of apache nginx php mysql
As a result, I deleted everything
I want to develop sites locally, and several projects at once.
And then some projects will move to vps.
I need a web server with nginx + apache + php + mysql applications on ubuntu
I wanted docker, but I doubt something and I don’t have enough experience and knowledge about it, what is it and how?
I asked a question about the docker in a telegram chat, they started to holivar.
Some say either docker is everywhere or nowhere.
Lost performance in 10-15 percent.
How true is all this? What to choose so that later you don’t have problems, and if you have very few (insignificant)
Where to run, what to do?

Answer 1

So Laravel Homestead
Pluses: - project files on your
non-virtual macos, they are mapped
into a virtual machine - everything else is isolated on a virtual machine
- there is ubuntu, nginx, different versions of pehape and all that stuff
- and also a lot of goodies like blackfire, xdebug, mailhog, the ability to share your dev environment, and so on
- if you wish, all this is additionally scripted to fit your personal fantasies

Answer 2

I wanted docker, but I doubt something and there is not enough experience and knowledge about it, what is it and how?

I use docker for local pgsql/redis, I run php through the built-in server from the host. Of course, if the conditions do not force me to raise nginx, which I also run along with fpm via docker.
For laravel/symfony projects, it's enough.
