Which LAMP to choose?

Question

LAMP

At the moment I am developing a small website-shop. I had to deal not only with the front, but also with the backend.

I think which server to use for development will be better. I read that Xampp, Open Server are good.

What do you recommend? For me, it is important that the assembly can be easily put on Linux (and not take a big steam with the setting). In addition, then the site will be uploaded to a real hosting, respectively, it is necessary that there are no unnecessary problems with this.

I am a big beginner in this, so it is important for me that the assembly is as simple and clear as possible, but at the same time it has a real relation to the industry (so that the time for working with it is not wasted, but valuable experience is accumulated).

And finally, a decent part of the work has already been done - the database data is made in json format. You need such an assembly so that you can somehow integrate files of this format into a real database.

Answer 1

you can xampp, but linux is good because you can configure everything on it, and so
this is not forced by Openserver on Windows

Answer 2

If you are developing on Windows, then OpenServer is the easiest.
If on Linux, then set up a normal environment. Nginx/Apache, PHP-FPM, MySQL.
Hosting is already set up. You shouldn't be concerned.

Answer 3

1) You can use PHP's built-in web server for development.
2) You can use one of the Vagrant boxes, or you can use Laravel's Homestead (it's based on vagrant)
3) You can use my bike: https://github.com/dimsog/vagrantfile consisting of one file. Download it for yourself, create a www directory nearby and do vagrant up. That's it, you have a complete development system. Homestead from point 2 does the same.
For points 2 and 3, you need VirtualBox + Vagrant installed.
I would not recommend (again, my opinion, someone may disagree) to use OpenServer, because your environments will be different - during development, the launch will be on Windows, and in production on Linux, at least there may be problems with file permissions.
