About JengaDev

JengaDev is a free, portable local development server for Windows. It bundles Caddy (with automatic local HTTPS), multiple switchable PHP versions, MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and Mailpit for local email testing, all managed from a browser dashboard. A modern alternative to XAMPP and Laragon.

What it does

  • Automatic local HTTPS for every hosted site via Caddy

  • MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and SQLite, each with an admin UI

  • Mailpit built in for catching outgoing mail from hosted sites

  • Switchable PHP versions per project

  • Browser dashboard with authenticated, auto-opened sessions

  • Per-host PHP error logs with automatic rotation
