First off thanks for creating such an amazing tool. I’m exploring moving over to Flywheel and wanted to play around with one of my wpengine site’s in Local. Unfortunately, I am running into issues when trying to run one of my WP Engine backups with Local. I referenced this previous community post but still couldn’t get it working.
There may be some domains that weren’t properly changed by Local’s import routine. I’d recommend checking the siteurl and home options in the wp_options table. You can do so by opening the site in Local and then going to Database » Adminer.
I took a look at that screenshot and it looks like it’s trying to access the site over HTTPS.
I’ve sometimes seen issues with plugins that try to enforce HTTPS – the original request is for HTTP, but the plugin redirects to HTTPS.
Do you have any plugins that are enforcing HTTPS? You could try deactivating the plugin by renaming the folder containing the plugin.
As to your question about the extra modules for a custom environment – The custom environment has things broken out into smaller containers so that you can easily swap out different versions of the stack.
This is what allowed you to downgrade to a lower version of PHP. The extra modules that were downloaded are those various containers.
Off the top of my head, I don’t know if you can prune out the unused containers or not.
