       | Local WordPress development sounds like something I might want or
       | need, but have not looked into yet. It would be great to hear
       | what's out there, what's good, and what one should look out for.

       | but kept getting errors so maybe we'll checkout Lokl.

           | Not yet; Local by Flywheel still works without issues.
           | Trellis looks good too:

       | It might be worth mentioning that Lokl [0] seems to be from the
       | same author [1] as the "wp2static" plugin [2], my and many others
       | go to for static site generation of WordPress.
       | 
       | I find Lokl and interesting take, although the usual self-serve
       | script is kind of annoying for power users (what I mean is that
       | this bash scripts tried to do everything for you and it's less
       | transparent), I recommend the repo [4] as the source of the
       | actual Dockerfiles, that you could just reference in something
       | like a docker-compose setup.
       | 
       | The Dockerfiles are kind of surprising since they read more like
       | a an ansible-playbook than like a Dockerfile. This one image has
       | it all - php, nginx, mariadb, phpmyadmin and who knows what else
       | [4]. It's an interesting approach to Docker images, certainly
       | against the recommendation but might have some good reasoning for
       | something as special as WordPress.
