+  Here's an example of how I'm running Drupal applications locally with Nix and devenv.
+---
+
+I recently said that [I've been using devenv to run Drupal applications locally][0].
+
+Here's the `devenv.nix` file I used for [my recent talk for the Drupal London meetup][1]:
+
+```nix
+{ pkgs, ... }:
+
+let
+  drupal.root = "web";
+in
+{
+  packages = [ pkgs.git ];
+
+  dotenv.disableHint = true;
+
+  languages = {
+    php = {
+      enable = true;
+      version = "8.2";
+
+      ini = ''
+        memory_limit = 256M
+      '';
+
+      fpm.pools.web = {
+        listen = "127.0.0.1:9000";
+
+        settings = {
+          "pm" = "dynamic";
+          "pm.max_children" = 75;
+          "pm.max_requests" = 500;
+          "pm.max_spare_servers" = 20;
+          "pm.min_spare_servers" = 5;
+          "pm.start_servers" = 10;
+        };
+      };
+    };
+  };
+
+  processes = { };
+
+  services = {
+    caddy = {
+      enable = true;
+
+      config = ''
+        {
+          http_port 8080
+        }
+
+        localhost:8080 {
+          root * ${drupal.root}
+          encode gzip
+          php_fastcgi localhost:9000
+          file_server
+        }
+      '';
+    };
+
+    mysql = {
+      enable = true;
+      initialDatabases = [ { name = "drupal_london"; } ];
+    };
+  };
+
+  enterShell = ''
+    if [[ ! -d vendor ]]; then
+      composer install
+    fi
+  '';
+
+  enterTest = ''
+    phpunit --testdox
+  '';
+}
+```
+
+It installs the required version of PHP for this project, creates a web server (Caddy) and configures MariaDB with a default database.
+
+I've also added commands to run `composer install` to download dependencies when entering the shell and `phpunit` for tests.
+
+With this approach, there's no need for containers as everything is run locally and I can view the site at <http://localhost:8080> (or whatever port is defined).
+
+All of my current development projects are using this approach and I think it'll be my default method for future projects.
