On the Mac, the most popular all-in-one package for installing the tools you will need for a local web server is MAMP. There is also a Mac version of the XAMPP package. You can also use the native Mac Apache and install MySQL and PHP yourself. The following pages cover some of these different approaches. On a boot/restart everything works fine; my Mac gets DNS resolutions properly. But after the Mac goes to sleep, or sits for an extended period, it forgets about the internal DNS server and queries external servers. A re-apply in the Network PrefPane resolves the problem until the next time the Mac.
OpenMediaVault is the best and lightweight home server OS that is built. MacOS Server, formerly named Mac OS X Server and OS X Server, is a discontinued, stand-alone server operating system by Apple Inc. It is also the name of its replacement software, an operating system addition, for macOS that provides additional server programs along with management and administration tools for iOS and macOS.

Great guide, thanks John.
Just a note, in case anyone has the same issue. At first I couldn't get this to work. I tried logging out and back in (still no joy), then restarting the mac (still no joy).
Try doing both of those first. However, if, like me, you still can't get the local host site to load, try the following: You should find a file at /Library/WebServer/Documents/index.html.en . This contains the text 'It works!' referred to in the post. What I did was duplicate that file in the same folder and changed the duplicate's name to 'index.html', leaving the original in situ.

Both local and user sites then loaded. After which, I was able to delete the duplicated file and everything now works without issue. Just to be clear, leave the original file index.html.en where it is, untouched and unharmed throughout this step.

Not sure why I had to take this mysterious detour - probably something local to my machine, but if you're having trouble after following the guide above, see if it helps.
