Laravel Octane roadrunner/frankenphp

Hello, im actually confused with running an app server like roadrunner (rr)/frankenphp (fp) during development and new to "in memory" application.

So the way i do things is with the regular laravel installation in local development, using MacOs

Install Laravel via composer ->set up host in host file ->set up a block in nginx (document root set to the public folder of the laravel application) ->restart nginx and application is running (with RR and FP, correct me if im wrong), we need to a proxy pass

Ok, so with RR and FP, when we are developing in our local machines, is it neccessary to run manually the serve command in the terminal and THEN do your development (with debug mode of course), because if we set our local machine nginx proxy pass, i still need to run the serve command manually to start the app server

OR is there an automatic way to do it? I also come to understand that i know i can use docker and such, but still have to run manually docker compose up and such.

I know in linux you can use the systemd and create a daemon, but this question is for development. Do we just run the app server manually? Or is there an automated way.

This is not because of laziness, but im just wondering if its possible in local machines like macos or windows. Or is this just the way it is and run the command manually during development.
