Why FlyEnv?

FlyEnv brings the local development tools you normally manage separately into one native desktop workspace.

• No container setup required for everyday local development — run installed services directly on your operating system.
• One workspace for your stack — runtimes, databases, web servers, queues, search, storage, local sites, and developer tools.
• Per-project runtime versions — switch PHP, Node.js, Python, and other environments by project.
• Local domains and HTTPS — create local sites such as myapp.test with certificates and reverse proxies.
• AI-ready local development — manage AI coding CLIs and expose selected local environment capabilities through the built-in FlyEnv MCP Server.
• Cross-platform — Windows, macOS, and Linux.

If XAMPP, MAMP, Laragon, or Laravel Herd already make sense to you, FlyEnv solves a similar local-development problem — but across a broader stack.

Coming from XAMPP, MAMP, Laragon, or Laravel Herd?

Docker and FlyEnv solve overlapping but different problems. Use Docker when containerized reproducibility or production parity is the goal; use FlyEnv when you want a native local development workspace with less setup overhead.

What Can You Run?

FlyEnv can manage complete local project stacks, not just one runtime.

• Laravel — PHP, MySQL/PostgreSQL, Redis, Node.js, Nginx, HTTPS
• Django / Python web apps — Python, PostgreSQL, Redis, Nginx, HTTPS
• ERPNext — Python, MariaDB, Redis, Nginx
• Gitea — Gitea, MySQL, Nginx, HTTPS
• Local databases and services — PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, ClickHouse, Neo4j, Qdrant, MinIO/RustFS
• AI coding workflows — Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Kimi, GitHub Copilot CLI, and FlyEnv MCP Server
