Sites and Projects
DevTent serves:
| Source | How you add it | Example URL |
|---|---|---|
| www/ | Drop a folder into www/
|
myapp.localhost |
| Parked | Projects → Park a folder… | each subfolder becomes a site |
| Linked | Projects → Link project… | external path with a chosen name |
| Quick App | Scaffold into www/
|
created for you |
Then click Sync virtual hosts so Nginx/Apache configs match.
Sites → Quick App scaffolds Laravel, WordPress, plain PHP, and more into www/. Laravel projects get dump/telemetry hooks for the Dumps tab automatically.
On Projects, open Details on a site to:
- Open the URL or project folder
- Choose PHP version (multiple versions can run side by side)
- Toggle SSL (mkcert)
- Start/stop queue / scheduler / Vite workers
- Install Laravel telemetry
- Create a matching database
- Share the site publicly
- Install mkcert via More → Quick Add (included in the recommended stack).
- In Doctor or the site drawer, Trust local CA once per machine.
- Enable SSL on the site — URL becomes
https://….
| Suffix | Admin? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
.localhost (default) |
No | Resolves in Chrome / Edge without hosts edits |
.test |
Yes (once) | Classic Herd/Laragon style; use Update hosts (Admin) |
Change this in Settings → General.
- Park a parent folder that contains many apps (each child folder = one site).
- Link a single project that must stay outside the DevTent tree (client repos, etc.).
