What’s your favourite way to development WordPress website locally on Ubuntu before deployment?
I’ve been using Local by Flywheel, but it’s become so slow it’s literally stressing me out to develop any website. Every click on everything takes ages to load.
This is on a fresh Ubuntu installation… The pc isn’t high end amazing, but it works fine until I fire up Local. Even when I’m making Express Apps and I have Nodejs. Express, MongoDb two or three terminal windows and VSCode running the pc gives me no problem.
Unfortunately, right now I can’t afford to buy hosting to stage the website online, but I have to make this website for someone so I need to build it.
Any advice?

works on my Thinkpad X220 with 4G RAM
use some lightweight code editor (bluefish, geany, sublimetext) or just plain vi/vim if you need to twinkle php/css/js
Duplicator plugin will serve you good for uplouding site from local to server
Success
PS. Adjust next two files:
/etc/hosts –
….
127.0.0.1 example.com
…
/etc/hostname
127.0.0.1 example.com
I liked Lando. Haven’t really used Flywheel much.

Just run LXD which should have been installed by default in Ubuntu and set up your WordPress.
I use docker containers, check out
I find ddev extremely easy to get going. It’s well supported and performant, essentially auto configures docker containers for you and is very configurable. You can have multiple projects running at once and it’s fine.
I found Local was also slow for a few of my projects.
Not sure I understand – what’s wrong with a normal LAMP stack?
