> If you happen to be unlucky enough to need Docker for LAMP/LEMP stacks

We run Docker LAMP and have a new version underway that's LEMP, haven't run into any problems. xdebug works fine, I even got it working recently in ECS. I'm not sure what's different about LAMP/LEMP in Docker vs any other stack.



Sorry for being unclear. It's not that Docker doesn't work well with LEMP, it's that Lando in particular was designed around older stacks (LEMP/LAMP and caches) and wouldn't be appropriate if you were trying to spin up, say, Next.js or Deno or Cloudflare Workers or React Native stacks or whatever.

The "unlucky" part is just having to work with a LEMP stack at all, and that's just my personal bias leaking through my post, sorry. Having grown up with that stuff and used it until just last year, I am so so grateful that I was able to finally move into a frontend job where I don't have to manage the stack anymore. A new generation of abstracted backend vendors (headless CMSes coupled with Jamstack hosts) makes it so that there is a sub-industry of web devs who never have to touch VMs directly anymore. I, for one, couldn't be happier about that.

(But of course there will always be other use cases that require a fuller/closer to the metal stack, and also backend and ops people who love that work. I don't fault them in the least, I greatly respect them, I'm just glad I don't have to do that.)
