Welcome to ServBay
Quick Overview (TL;DR)
ServBay is a specially crafted local development environment platform made for web developers. It integrates all the essential tools and components you need for daily development, including multiple programming languages (PHP, Node.js, Python, Go, Java, .NET, Ruby, Rust, and more), popular SQL databases (MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, etc.), NoSQL databases (Redis, Memcached, etc.), high-performance web servers (Caddy, Nginx, Apache, and others), DNS services, email services, SSL certificate tools, as well as AI/LLM features (such as Ollama).
ServBay's core strength lies in its convenience: you can set up everything you need in just a few minutes with a single click—no need for complex manual installations or dependency managers like Homebrew, and no overhead from container solutions like Docker. This frees you up to focus on coding, not configuration.
Dive Deeper into ServBay
ServBay is designed to dramatically simplify the process of setting up, configuring, and managing your local web development environment. For developers, managing different versions of programming languages, databases, web servers, and extensions can be time-consuming and error-prone. ServBay bundles all of these essential tools into one easy-to-install and manage solution, eliminating version conflicts and dependency headaches.
No matter what tech stack your project uses, ServBay has you covered. Easily switch between different software versions, control service start/stop, and tweak configurations through an intuitive user interface. This makes switching between projects or testing in different environments a breeze.
