What it does

WP Launcher spins up isolated WordPress sites on demand — pre-loaded with your plugins and themes. Local dev: Docker-based, choose PHP (8.1–8.3) + database (SQLite/MySQL/MariaDB) per site. Wildcard subdomains, built-in email testing, live PHP config. Agency demos: Sites launch in ~10 seconds, auto-expire, sandboxed with capability restrictions. Perfect for client demos. Open source. Self-hosted. One-click VPS installer.

Open source, self-hosted Docker WordPress development environment and demo hosting platform. Multi-PHP (8.1–8.3), multi-database (MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite), CLI tools, auto-expiring sandbox sites.

Two tools in one. A full local development environment and a demo hosting platform for agencies. Docker-based, multi-PHP, multi-DB, zero config. Choose the mode that fits your workflow. Same codebase, different superpowers. A full-featured local dev tool. Like Local by Flywheel or Laragon, but Docker-based with multi-PHP and multi-DB support. Spin up temporary WordPress demo sites pre-loaded with your plugins and themes. Auto-expiring, sandboxed, production-ready. A full-featured local development tool. Spin up isolated WordPress sites in seconds with your choice of PHP version, database engine, and pre-installed plugins. Deploy on any VPS and let clients launch sandboxed WordPress demos…from wplauncher.msrbuilds.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client.
