Has it gotten easier to actually get running, without resorting to a pre-built docker image?

One of the biggest advantages of PHP is ease of actually doing the web server config, especially compared to dealing with an external app server along with its init script or systemd unit.

Ruby Rails doesn't even work work out of the box on Windows.

Which makes teaching it 10x harder. ( US seems to be outliner in that every student is on MacBook )
