Devilbox

Devilbox is a containerized development environment that provides a reproducible suite of web servers, databases, and language runtimes managed through a unified configuration. It functions as a Docker-based local development stack for LAMP and MEAN software stacks and as a manager for switching between different versions of these services to match specific project requirements.

The system distinguishes itself by automating local network orchestration. It includes a Docker-based virtual host manager that automatically maps local directories to custom domains and a local DNS and SSL orchestrator that handles internal domain resolution and generates trusted certificates for HTTPS development.

The project covers a broad range of capabilities including database and service administration via web interfaces, language runtime versioning, and multi-project site hosting. It also provides tools for intercepting outgoing email, monitoring service status via a dashboard, and executing development toolchains directly within containers.
