Lando is a free, open-source tool for managing portable and reproducible local development environments using Docker. It simplifies complex setups for modern web applications, abstracting Docker's complexity so developers can focus on code rather than configuration.

Originally built for Drupal and Pantheon workflows, Lando now supports recipes for frameworks like WordPress, Laravel, Symfony, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, and static sites. Key features include:
- One-command initialization: lando init
- Automatic services: Apache/Nginx, PHP, MySQL/PostgreSQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, Solr.
- Built-in tools: MailHog, Xdebug, Node, Python, Ruby versions.
- Commands for lifecycle: start, stop, rebuild, destroy.
- lando toolbox for shell access and lando info for URLs/credentials.

Lando ensures consistent environments across macOS, Windows, and Linux, integrates with CI/CD, and supports custom configs via lando.yml. It's ideal for teams needing quick, isolated dev stacks without Vagrant or manual Docker Compose files.

Requires Docker installed and running; Linux users need user in docker group. Not for production. Custom recipes may need Docker image tweaks. Large projects can consume significant disk space.

init: Initialize project; start: Start services; stop: Stop services; rebuild: Rebuild with cache clear; destroy: Teardown environment; info: Show URLs/creds; toolbox: Enter container shell.

Via npm: npm i -g lando; supports Linux, macOS, Windows.

Created by Pantheon's Devon Stank (pirog) in 2017 as open-source successor to Terminus local tools. Reached v1.0 in 2018; now at v3.x with broad recipe support and plugin ecosystem. Actively maintained by community.
