Profiles and Environment

Profiles and Environment#

LocalDevStack uses Docker Compose profiles so you can enable only the services you want for a given project.

Setting up Environment usable by Your Projects#

  • Use root .env (project-level overrides)

  • These are common & directly shared to projects you host

  • If you want project specific only a single project you need to handle that inside your project

Guided setup for on demands services (DB, Cache)#

The lds CLI typically includes helpers like:

  • lds setup profiles

These helpers are opinionated: they try to keep profiles and generated configs consistent.

Manual setup (Don’t use unless you are fully aware of internals)#

Enable PHP 8.4 + MariaDB + Redis:

COMPOSE_PROFILES=php84,mariadb,redis

Enable Apache mode (Nginx -> Apache -> PHP-FPM):

COMPOSE_PROFILES=apache,php84

These are just some of the samples.
