also, remember to allow vhost_alias_module

LoadModule vhost_alias_module libexec/apache2/mod_vhost_alias.so

You can add unlimited virtual hosts just like MAMP adds them. You can just access /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf and add:

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName devsite
	DocumentRoot "/Users/123/Dropbox/hosts/devsite"
    Protocols h2 h2c http/1.1

    <IfModule xsendfile_module>
        XSendFilePath "/Users/123/Dropbox/hosts/devsite"
    </IfModule>

	ServerAlias devsite.*

    <Directory "/Users/123/Dropbox/hosts/devsite">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
		AllowOverride All
        <IfModule authz_host_module>
            Require all granted
        </IfModule>
        Allow from all
		
    </Directory>

	<IfModule wsgi_module>
		WSGIDaemonProcess devsite processes=2 threads=15
		WSGIProcessGroup devsite
		WSGIScriptAlias /devsiteWsgiApp "/Users/123/Dropbox/hosts/devsite/wsgiapp.py"
	</IfModule>
	
</VirtualHost>
