What is DAMP?
A modern Docker-based development environment for PHP with a visual interface
DAMP is a modern desktop application that brings the power of Docker containerization to PHP development with an intuitive visual interface. Built with Tauri v2, DAMP makes it easy to create, manage, and deploy PHP applications without the complexity of traditional development environments.

Why DAMP?
Desktop + Application + MySQL + PHP = DAMP
A modern take on the classic LAMP/WAMP stack, designed for today's developers.
Perfect For
- Beginners who want to learn PHP without configuration headaches
- Professionals who need reproducible development environments

Core Philosophy
DAMP believes that development tools should be:
- Accessible - Visual interface that anyone can use
- Powerful - Full Docker capabilities under the hood
- Reliable - Containerized environments that just work
- Modern - Built with latest technologies (Tauri, React, Rust)
DAMP uses Docker containers, which means your development environment is isolated, reproducible and consistent from day one.
