Emberport 1.0.0

The first public release. A modern, dark, minimal local web development environment for Windows, with Apache, PHP, MySQL, Redis and phpMyAdmin already in the box.

Install

Download Emberport-1.0.0-setup.exe below and run it. The default install folder is C:\Emberport.

Windows SmartScreen will warn about an unknown publisher because the installer is not code signed. Choose More info -> Run anyway. The SHA256 checksum is at the bottom of this page and the full source is in this repository.

After installing, press Start on the dashboard and open http://localhost, or http://localhost/phpmyadmin for the database.

What is included

Component Version
Apache 2.4.68 (Apache Lounge, VS18 x64)
PHP 8.5.8 and 8.2.32 (Thread Safe, x64)
MySQL 9.7.1
Redis 5.0.14.1
phpMyAdmin latest stable

The installer lets you choose between Full, Compact (Apache, PHP and phpMyAdmin only) and Custom.

Highlights

  • Real version switching for PHP, Apache, MySQL and Redis. Drop any portable build into bin\ and it shows up after a rescan.
  • php.ini extension manager with automatic collapsing of duplicate extension= lines.
  • Streaming MySQL backups that handle databases larger than available memory, with optional gzip, live progress and a working cancel.
  • Servers cannot outlive the app. Every process is attached to a Windows job object, so nothing is left holding port 3306.
  • Health checks that explain failures by reading the logs, the ports, the data directory and the thread safety of the PHP build.
  • Custom document root on any drive, exactly like Laragon.
  • Notification area integration. Closing hides to the tray, services can be started and stopped from a themed flyout.
  • Optional start with Windows, launching hidden in the tray.

Notes

  • The first MySQL start initialises the data directory and takes 20 to 60 seconds. It only happens once.
  • Emberport competes with Laragon and XAMPP for ports 80 and 3306. Stop the other one, or change the ports in Settings.
  • Uninstalling keeps www\, data\ and backups\ on disk.

Built by Hojjat Jahanpour. If Emberport saves you time, a star costs nothing and helps a lot.
