DAMP – Docker-powered PHP development without CLI complexity

Summary: DAMP provides a Docker-based PHP development environment that eliminates the need for terminal commands. It offers automatic HTTPS domains, one-click database services, VS Code DevContainers, and built-in ngrok tunnels, streamlining setup and management.

What it does

DAMP creates production-ready PHP projects using Docker containers with a graphical interface, automating HTTPS via Caddy and supporting multiple PHP versions simultaneously. It includes pre-configured VS Code DevContainers and visual management of databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis.

Who it's for

It targets freelancers, teams, and developers who want reproducible PHP environments without using Docker CLI or managing complex configurations.

Why it matters

DAMP solves the complexity of Docker CLI and version conflicts by providing isolated, easy-to-configure containers with production parity and SSL by default.
