NativeDevNative Linux development, managed

A GTK4 control plane for the Nginx, PHP-FPM, database, and Node.js services already on your Debian or Ubuntu system — no containers, no bundled runtime, no private server stack.

Why NativeDev exists

View on GitHub

A terminal window showing NativeDev detecting native Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MariaDB services

Dashboard

One place to see PHP status, installed services, local sites, and port conflicts — with safe, non-destructive conflict resolution built in.

Local Development

Park a projects folder and get HTTP at project.test, optional HTTPS at project.secure.test, per-project PHP versions, wildcard routing, and mkcert-managed local TLS.

PHP Management

Run your distro's System PHP as-is, or opt into Multi-PHP to install and switch between side-by-side versions, extensions, and FPM pools.

Node.js Management

Manage System Node or NVM-installed LTS versions with proper shell integration, without a bundled Node runtime.

Services & Databases

Nginx, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, Memcached, Composer, and mkcert — installed from your distro's own repositories and managed through systemd.

Developer Tools

Persistent phpMyAdmin, Adminer, and other *.localhost tools, bound to whichever PHP-FPM version you choose.
