A complete local Laravel environment. Free, on Valet and Homebrew.

One file per site, one command

A nomeus.yml declares link, tls, php, node, services, databases, mail, .env and scripts. nomeus init is idempotent — re-running changes nothing.

# nomeus.yml
domain: shopvault
php: "8.4"
secure: true
services:
  - { type: postgresql, instance: pg17, database: shopvault }
  - { type: redis }
mail: true
post-init: [php artisan migrate --force]

$ nomeus init
✓ link shopvault.test · secure · isolate php 8.4
✓ db:pg17 createdb shopvault · redis: already running
✓ mail: tagged shopvault · client package
✓ .env: set 9, added 4 · migrate
$ nomeus init          # again: every step "skip"

It adopts what you already have

Services are native Homebrew binaries under nomeus-owned launchd agents, data under ~/.nomeus/services/. Existing brew services come along; ports are kept.

$ nomeus services:doctor
WARN postgresql@17 runs under brew services — nomeus services:adopt postgresql@17
$ nomeus services:adopt postgresql@17 --name=pg17
✓ brew services stop · data copied · role postgres · port 5432 kept
✓ pg17 running under dev.nomeus.svc.pg17
a second postgres on 5433?
  nomeus services:clone pg17 pg17-test

dump() with the request beside it — no package required

An auto_prepend_file speaks VarDumper's server protocol, so dumps arrive from any site with nothing installed in it. The optional client package adds queries, jobs, views, requests and logs per request.

The doctor tells you the fix, not just the problem

Sixty-odd checks across Valet, PHP, launchd, ports, ini files and retention. Every warning names the command that clears it; the dashboard offers the same fix as a button.

$ nomeus doctor
