You probably are best to turn to a Docker-based approach - Virtualbox/Vagrant support is sketchy

Laravel on a M1 Macbook 💻
Hi, im developing on an M1 MacBook Pro, and I just started learning Laravel.
I couldn't get homestead to work when I tried on my own, and I couldn't find any posts about it either...
So I thought I would create this thread, where we can share experiences and installation-tips and so on specifically minded on developing with Laravel on M1 devices. 🧑💻

Right now im using the Laravel Valet, and I don't experience any issues, is Docker better?
Level 104
Not necessarily, it depends on the projects (Laravel/PHP versions, database, etc.) you're working on, the size of your team, the eventual production environment(s).
Valet is quick, everything you need can be installed natively on the Mac rather than learning Docker.
Level 5
Also successfully using valet on M1. I think I’ll hold off a bit longer for docker.
