VirtualHostX

Virtual Hosting on your Mac

[VirtualHostX @virtualhostx]

@halfpixels Yeah 😢 VHX (the app itself) is compatible with M1, but VirtualBox (project made by Oracle that we depend on) is not. I don't have a timeline yet for when/if they'll add support.

@timweston Hey, Tim. The subscription confirmation email you received after purchasing had links to cancel and/or update your billing info. If you can’t find that email, I can look it up for you. Just reach out to [email protected]

@josie @chadcrowell @Setapp Gotcha. Yeah, turned out a followup release hasn’t been necessary yet :D

[VirtualHostX @virtualhostx]

Just a heads up. Today's update to VirtualHostX is likely the last one to provide support for macOS Mojave and earlier. Once Big Sur is released, it or Catalina will be required.

[VirtualHostX @virtualhostx]

@josie @chadcrowell @Setapp 2020.10 is the latest release - there wasn’t a 2020.11.

I have a few smaller bugs that I’m working on that might make it into one more release in 2020, but I’m not aware of any remaining show-stopper bugs for Big Sur.

If you’re seeing one, I’d love to know 😄

@siffring @chadcrowell 👍 We have a Getting Started guide available here. Reach out with any questions. https://t.co/lni7WXnYFm

@josie @chadcrowell @Setapp VHX itself is compatible, however we depend on VirtualBox to let us run a web server on your Mac. They don't support M1 Macs currently. I'm exploring alternative solutions, but nothing to announce right now.

@iorbita @dvvidko PHP is installed by the "base" virtual machine image, which I don't have direct control over. (Using my own custom image is what I've been working on in 2020, but it takes time.) Upgrading on top of that would increase the install time, which (most) users hate.

[VirtualHostX @virtualhostx]

@mjsamberg Out of curiosity. Which features in 20.04 are you depending on? (So I can make sure the new image I provide isn't missing anything by default I might not have thought of.)

[VirtualHostX @virtualhostx]

@mjsamberg I'm planning an update this month that will update to the latest Ubuntu LTS. Until then, you can login to the VM and upgrade yourself if you need to. But I can't guarantee compatibility.

@stirrell42 But, please, don't take my "just google it" answer the wrong way. Feel free to email if you'd like more detailed help setting something like this up. Twitter is difficult to explain stuff like this.

[VirtualHostX @virtualhostx]

@stirrell42 So when customers need to setup something I'm not familiar with or have instructions for, the pithy (but true) answer is googling for "install <name of thing> Ubuntu 18.04". For mailhog (great service!) it looks like these two shell commands should do it. https://t.co/CcbleCB1su
