Feature Request: Support for FrankenPHP or Swoole (For Laravel Octane)

[ravihermawan]

Hi @leokhoa and the Laragon community,

First of all, thank you for creating and maintaining Laragon! It is by far the most lightweight and fastest local development environment for Windows.

The Idea / Feature Request.
I would like to suggest adding support (or an easy add-on mechanism) for FrankenPHP and/or Swoole.

Why is this needed?
Currently, Laravel Octane is becoming the modern standard for building high-performance Laravel applications. To run Octane, we need an application server like Swoole, RoadRunner, or the highly popular FrankenPHP.

Setting these up natively on Windows without relying on WSL2, Docker, or Laravel Sail is quite challenging. Many developers still prefer the native, fast, and straightforward experience that Laragon provides.

If Laragon could support FrankenPHP (which has standalone Windows binaries) or Swoole out-of-the-box, it would be a massive game-changer for the Laravel community on Windows. It would allow us to test and run Octane applications seamlessly.

Thank you for your time and for considering this idea!
