Does this have any advantages over Docker compose? It does not require Docker, of course, but the reproducibility is going to be much lower.

Also, why would you write a tool like this in PHP?

I don't think it has many advantages over Docker compose besides maybe the auto restart option and I'm working on adding file monitoring as well, so you can set files or directories to monitor and once chances occur the service restarts. I don't use Docker locally myself and wanted to have a solution for making it easier to manage background processes and not having to spin up five shells.

Why I wrote a tool like this in PHP is simple, I love PHP and I'm a big fan of the ecosystem / community.
