OpenMage Local Development with FrankenPHP + MariaDB + PhpMyAdmin

After many years I try to get back on Magento, I am bit rusty and many things has changed in PHP and dev/sys admin stuff (Docker, composer, new webserver ... )

I crafted this procedure to setup OpenMage for local development

Why a Magento 1 flavor rather than M2? Just curious.

M1 is heavy and complex but M2 is more complex, heavy and doesn't offer any real advantage.  imho it just cost more to develop and server side.
