Laragon is a portable web server suite and WAMP stack manager that provides a self-contained local development environment. It enables the bootstrapping of web applications through the orchestration of web servers, databases, and language runtimes on a single machine.
The project is distinguished by its registry-free portable mode, allowing the entire development stack to be moved between drives or computers without re-installation. It features automated virtual host mapping and SSL certificate generation for local domains, as well as a local tunneling gateway to expose projects via public URLs.
The environment includes tools for multi-version runtime management, multi-engine database hosting, and a local SMTP testing tool for intercepting and inspecting outgoing emails. It also provides a tabbed terminal interface with isolated path execution and a unified control interface for managing background processes and server services.
Laragon automates the deployment of application templates and content management system instances to accelerate project initialization.
