About cpriego/valet-linux
Valet Linux is a lightweight development environment for Laravel projects on Linux systems, designed as a minimal alternative to Vagrant or Homestead. It eliminates the need for virtual machines, instead configuring Nginx to run in the background and using DnsMasq to automatically route all requests on the `*.test` domain to your local projects. This approach provides a blazing fast workflow with minimal resource overhead—using only about 7MB of RAM—making it ideal for developers working on machines with limited resources or those who prefer lean, flexible tooling.
The project is a Linux adaptation of Laravel's official Valet tool, bringing the macOS version's simplicity to Linux environments. It removes friction from local development by eliminating manual `/etc/hosts` file management and offers additional features like public site sharing through local tunnels. Valet Linux supports multiple Linux distributions including Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch Linux, making it accessible to a broad Linux developer community working with Laravel.
