Migrating from Laragon to Flyenv for local dev anyone using it?
Hey everyone,
After relying on Laragon for years, I’m looking at moving my local workflow over to Flyenv. As my stack has gotten more complex over the last decade, I want a cleaner containerized setup, but ideally with less friction than managing raw Docker compose files or Sail for every single project.
For those of you actively using Flyenv how is it holding up as your daily driver? I’m mainly curious about the performance compared to Laragon's native speeds, and if there are any weird local networking or routing quirks I should watch out for before I migrate a dozen active client projects over.
Appreciate any insights!

Just FYI I do my own. For Windows I download the zip files for mariadb, apache, php. Setting up is a little learning curve at first, but once you do it, it becomes easy.
And Linux, just install what you need.
Never used a MAC.
Digital Ocean has some good how to articles.

Have you tried https://github.com/laradock/laradock - that's pretty easy to get up and running.
