Laragems OS Info

laragems/os-info provides unified OS, CPU, memory, and runtime environment information for PHP applications. It is framework-free and has no third-party runtime dependencies.

Installation

composer require laragems/os-info

Quick Start

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Laragems\OsInfo\OsInfo;
use Laragems\OsInfo\Platform;

$info = OsInfo::detect();

echo $info->name();              // Ubuntu, macOS, Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
echo $info->platform()->value;   // linux, macos, windows
echo $info->architecture();      // x86_64, arm64, x86
echo $info->memory()->totalBytes();
echo $info->cpu()->logicalCores();
echo $info->runtime()->currentUser();

if ($info->platform() === Platform::Linux) {
    echo 'Running on Linux';
}

API Usage

The detector returns an OperatingSystemInfo object with typed value objects for memory, CPU, and runtime environment:

<?php

use Laragems\OsInfo\OsInfo;

$os = OsInfo::detect();

printf(
    "%s %s on %s\n",
    $os->name(),
    $os->versionId() ?? 'unknown',
    $os->architecture(),
);

printf(
    "%d logical cores, %s RAM\n",
    $os->cpu()->logicalCores() ?? 0,
    number_format(($os->memory()->totalBytes() ?? 0) / 1024 / 1024 / 1024, 2) . ' GiB',
);

echo $os->runtime()->virtualizationType()->value;

Example output from a macOS GitHub Actions runner:

macOS 15.7.7 on arm64
3 logical cores, 7.00 GiB RAM
virtual_machine

You can also work with a plain array payload:

<?php

use Laragems\OsInfo\OperatingSystemInfo;
use Laragems\OsInfo\OsInfo;

$payload = OsInfo::detect()->toArray();

echo $payload[OperatingSystemInfo::NAME];       // Ubuntu
echo $payload[OperatingSystemInfo::PLATFORM];   // linux
echo $payload[OperatingSystemInfo::CPU]['model_name'];
echo json_encode($payload, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

Use Without Composer

Download or copy this package, then require its bundled autoloader:

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/os-info/src/autoload.php';

use Laragems\OsInfo\OsInfo;
use Laragems\OsInfo\OperatingSystemInfo;

$info = OsInfo::detect();
$payload = $info->toArray();

echo $payload[OperatingSystemInfo::PLATFORM];

CLI

Composer install:

vendor/bin/os-info
vendor/bin/os-info --json

No Composer:

php bin/os-info
php bin/os-info --json

Available Data

• OS name, platform, version, hostname, kernel, architecture
• memory and swap/pagefile totals where available
• CPU model, vendor, cores, frequency, and flags where available
• runtime environment: user, privilege status, shell, timezone, process count, container/virtualization context, PHP version, PHP SAPI
• uptime and load average where the platform exposes them

Top-level array keys are available as constants on OperatingSystemInfo, such as OperatingSystemInfo::PLATFORM, OperatingSystemInfo::MEMORY, OperatingSystemInfo::CPU, and OperatingSystemInfo::RUNTIME.

Target Platforms

• Linux
• macOS
• Windows

Other platforms may still return fallback values. More platforms to be supported soon.
