LampRabit 0.2: Node.js projects, 14 framework templates, and .test domains that follow your dev server
LampRabit 0.2 is the biggest update so far. It turns LampRabit from a PHP stack into a home for all your local projects, PHP and Node.js, and makes Linux a fully supported platform. Already on 0.1? The app offers 0.2 as soon as it's published: Settings → Updates → Install and restart . Node.js projects, at their own domain Vite, Next.js, Nuxt, Astro, Express and NestJS projects now live next to…
LampRabit 0.2 is the latest update to the popular development environment, replacing the previous PHP focus with a platform for both PHP and Node.js projects. Linux users now have full support for the app, previously limited to Windows and macOS. The update introduces 14 new project templates in YAML format, including popular frameworks like CakePHP, CodeIgniter 4, Drupal, Statamic, and Magento.
These templates guide users through the setup process, only prompting for potentially risky actions like recursive deletion or sudo commands, and require user approval before proceeding. The new Sites page offers a consolidated project list with real-time status updates, allowing users to view framework and version information, PHP or Node requirements, installed dependencies, and database and git states.
Users can run project commands directly from the interface and modify settings as needed. The update also brings improvements to database support, with MySQL and MariaDB now running on separate ports and selectable default databases for new projects. Redis and Memcached have been upgraded to real-time services, with Windows users installing the community redis-windows build and macOS users receiving a preview of the same builds as on Windows.
The app's interface has been redesigned with a floating tab bar, theme toggle, and enhanced logging capabilities, making it easier than ever to manage and monitor your development projects. Uninstalling LampRabit 0.2 removes only the components created by the app, preserving your projects and databases.
