What is your idea or feature suggestion?

As the last commit is more than a year old, I wanted to ask if the project is dead or inactive for now?

Benefits

Please honestly do not take this question as an offense. I really appreciate your work. I also fully understand that maintaining such an open source project is time consuming and sometimes not very rewarding, especially in monetary terms. However, transparency about the future of this project would greatly improve the possibility of some fork taking over, or possibly help developers to look for alternatives.

Where can we find information about this?

No response

Are you willing to provide a PR to address this?

None


Update 2024-05-03

Still nothing official, but i wanted to share my transition to DDEV.

Laradock didn't work for me. For whatever reason, mariadb crashed.

DDEV on the other hand worked liked charm. Installation is sweet and streamlined. It is the most user friendly docker-style experience I have ever had. Project workflow is easy af.

ddev config
ddev start
ddev launch

It gives you an actual url, https is set-up quite nicely by default. PHP Version can be set per project. Popular add ons can be installed as needed per project (phpmyadmin). Active community, frequent updates. Recommend.

I really like devilbox as well, and share your concerns, @ptmrio

One alternative that I am experimenting with is https://lando.dev/

@jlounds looks nice. I'm still undecided but just for completeness, I found https://github.com/laradock/laradock mostly replaces devilbox. It seems to be built for laravel which is close enough/overlapping enough to my symfony dev environment. So it may be a even an improvment.

Some people also recommended https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ to me
Didnt try it yet, though

Same here, I've converted laradock to be able to support multiple projects automatically like Devilbox used to do for me, required some changes but works well.
I really loved this project a lot (even sponsored it a while) but I understand that @cytopia probably has other things to work on as well. In any case, thankful to this project and the ideas / experience i got from working and tinkering with it.

Thanks @cytopia , and good luck 👍🏼

I just tried DDEV - it is FANTASTIC. I should have used it from the start, 2 years ago. I cant wait to work through the docs, try all the functionality, and build/customize some of my own.

It is also backed by some large corporate sponsors, so the dev can work on it full time. There's a non-profit foundation who stewards the project as well as pays contributors. Docs are excellent. And xdebug just works.

It is the future of local dev environments. Go set it up, NOW

To whom it may concern,

We have started maintaining the project at: https://github.com/devilbox-community/devilbox.

We are fixing some bugs and adding new features, such as PHP 8.3. 😀

I'm seriously thinking to move to DDEV too... pretty sad about the fact that Devilbox is stale.

Just do it. I wish I had used it from the start - it's infinitely better (as you'd expect for a project that has a salaried full time developer, and now a salaried part-time and hopefully eventually full-time dev)
