No Vagrant, no Docker, no `/etc/hosts` file. This project uses [laravel/valet](https://github.com/laravel/valet) as a dependency. Installation ------------ [](#installation) > ⚠️ Valet **Pro Max** requires macOS and [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/). Before installation, you should make sure that no other programs such as Apache or Nginx are binding to your local machine's port 80. > ⚠️ Valet **Pro Max** requires [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to be installed. It's [NOT recommended](https://github.com/nntoan/valet-pro-max/wiki/Composer) to install Composer via Homebrew. To get started, you first need to ensure that Homebrew is up-to-date using the update command: ``` brew update ``` Next, you should use Homebrew to install PHP 8.1 (using `shivammathur/php`): ``` brew tap shivammathur/php brew install shivammathur/php/php@8.1 brew link php@8.1 --force brew services restart php@8.1 ``` > ⚠️ If you're switching from Valet+ 2.x use the extra following steps. > > - Uninstall Valet+ with `valet uninstall` first. > - Remove Valet+ package with `composer global remove weprovide/valet-plus`. > - For more information how to migrate from Valet+ - check [this documentation](https://github.com/nntoan/valet-pro-max/wiki/Migration-from-Valet-Plus-2.x) Install Valet **Pro Max** 1.x-dev with composer: ``` composer global require nntoan/valet-pro-max:1.x-dev ``` Finally, you may execute the Valet **Pro Max** `install` command. This will configure and install Valet **Pro Max**, Nginx, DnsMasq and other services. In addition, use `--help` to see all installation options. ``` valet-pro install ``` The daemons Valet **Pro Max** depends on will be configured to launch when your system starts. Once Valet **Pro Max** is installed, try pinging any `*.test` domain on your terminal using a command such as `ping foobar.test`. If Valet **Pro Max** is installed correctly you should see this domain responding on `127.0.0.1`. Valet Pro Max features ---------------------- [](#valet-pro-max-features) Here are a few key differences compared to the original Valet: - Nginx config optimization - PHP extensions (mcrypt, intl, opcache, yaml, apcu, ds, imagick) - MySQL (mysql@5.7, mysql@8.0, mysql@8.1, mariadb) - DB commands (list, create, drop, reset, (re)import, export, open) - Mailhog (on/off mode) - Varnish (on/off mode) - Redis (on/off mode) - Rabbitmq (on/off mode) - Xdebug (on/off mode) - Memcache (on/off mode) - Elasticsearch v6, v7, v8 (on/off mode) using Docker - Opensearch v1, v2 (on/off mode) using Homebrew - Ioncube (on/off mode) - Rewrite/unrewrite public domain to local environment - DevTools - Binaries (magerun, magerun2, drush, wp-cli, shopware-cli, shopify-cli) - Log rotation for Valet **Pro Max** services (nginx, mysql, phpfpm). To prevent big logfiles consume all disk storage. ### Changes vs Valet+ [](#changes-vs-valet) - Use command `valet-pro` instead of `valet`. - Rename `.env.valet` to `.valet-env.php`. - Use command `valet-pro elasticsearch|es use ` instead of `valet use elasticsearch|es `. - Use `127.0.0.1` as Redis host instead of `/tmp/redis.sock`. - Choose which binaries to install (default all) and self-update on `valet-pro install` command. - Adds dependency on Docker for Elasticsearch, see - Supports Opensearch using Homebrew maintainer tap.
