Local development allows you to work on your website's code, themes, and plugins safely without affecting the production server. Seravo provides a Docker-based development environment that replicates the Seravo WordPress production environment, saving you time and ensuring compatibility during deployment.
In addition to the core WordPress stack, this environment includes a comprehensive suite of tools for development, debugging, testing, and performance profiling.
How it Works
The environment provides a specialized Docker container pre-equipped with development and management tools. This creates an isolated and identical server setup on your local machine. Unlike a traditional virtual machine, a Docker container is lightweight and starts quickly. Seravo's built-in commands handle the technical setup, allowing you to focus purely on development.
All Seravo projects are designed to be compatible with our Docker environment, allowing you to pull a copy of your production site to your local machine with ease.
Getting Started
To begin developing locally, follow these steps:
Installation: Follow our Docker installation guide to set up the necessary requirements on your local machine.
Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the environment configuration to customize your local setup.
Tools & Commands: Master the commands and tools (such as
wp-cliandsrv) available within the container to optimize your workflow.
If you encounter any issues during setup or development, please consult our troubleshooting guide for common fixes and instructions on how to report technical problems.
