[Feature]: Is devilbox inactive/dead?

[ptmrio]

What is your idea or feature suggestion?

As the last commit is more than a year old, I wanted to ask if the project is dead or inactive for now?

Benefits

Please honestly do not take this question as an offense. I really appreciate your work. I also fully understand that maintaining such an open source project is time consuming and sometimes not very rewarding, especially in monetary terms. However, transparency about the future of this project would greatly improve the possibility of some fork taking over, or possibly help developers to look for alternatives.

Where can we find information about this?

No response

Are you willing to provide a PR to address this?

None

Update 2024-05-03

Still nothing official, but i wanted to share my transition to DDEV.

Laradock didn't work for me. For whatever reason, mariadb crashed.

DDEV on the other hand worked liked charm. Installation is sweet and streamlined. It is the most user friendly docker-style experience I have ever had. Project workflow is easy af.

ddev config
ddev start
ddev launch

It gives you an actual url, https is set-up quite nicely by default. PHP Version can be set per project. Popular add ons can be installed as needed per project (phpmyadmin). Active community, frequent updates. Recommend.

I really like devilbox as well, and share your concerns, @ptmrio

One alternative that I am experimenting with is https://lando.dev/

@jlounds looks nice. I'm still undecided but just for completeness, I found https://github.com/laradock/laradock mostly replaces devilbox. It seems to be built for laravel which is close enough/overlapping enough to my symfony dev environment. So it may be a even an improvment.

Some people also recommended https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ to me
Didnt try it yet, though

Same here, I've converted laradock to be able to support multiple projects automatically like Devilbox used to do for me, required some changes but works well.
I really loved this project a lot (even sponsored it a while) but I understand that @cytopia probably has other things to work on as well. In any case, thankful to this project and the ideas / experience i got from working and tinkering with it.

Thanks @cytopia , and good luck 👍🏼
