First run and onboarding

Onboarding

Choose Native or Docker. Native starts managed services on macOS; Docker verifies Docker Desktop first.

Recommended flow

1. Choose the runtime
2. On Stack, click Start all
3. Wait for web/nginx, PHP, MySQL (or MariaDB) and Redis
4. Create a project (Blank PHP, Laravel, WordPress, Symfony, Bitrix, Drupal, Joomla, OpenCart, Yii2, or API)
5. Open the URL on the project card: by default http://{name}.localhost:8088 and https://{name}.localhost:8443
6. Enable HTTPS on Tools if needed

Auto-start

In Settings → General, enable «Auto-start stack when opening MacFullStack».
