Docksal: Shipping your environment with your codebase

Docksal is a Docker-based development environment framework with a focus on PHP application development. It is not specific to Drupal but it was built with Drupal in mind. There are numerous starter projects available through Docksal, including Drupal, WordPress, Laravel, Magento, Symfony, and more. It is maintained by FFW.

For any given project that you are working on, project setup should be dead simple. Using Docksal's custom command system, you can create one-line commands that will setup your project without further interaction from the developer. Clone the project, run a command, start developing, it should be and is that simple with Docksal.

In addition to providing a rapid onboarding experience, Docksal makes it trivial to expand your environment as needed. Need Varnish? Need MailHog for local email interception? Both easily added thanks to Docksal leveraging Docker's service-based architecture. A list of services available to Docksal can be found on it's readthedocs page.
