Devilbox + docker + WSL in Windows 10 Pro. 19H1

[keldrox]

I have been using Devilbox in Windows 10 correctly but the symfony projects work very slowly.

That's why I used WSL with the tutorial https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/setting-up-docker-for-windows-and-wsl-to-work-flawlessly

Everything works correctly but Devilbox shows me "Forbidden" when entering localhost and AH00112 appears in the console: Warning: DocumentRoot [/ var / www / default / htdocs /] does not exist

Do you have any idea of making it work?

Thank you.

I would suppose there has been a mounting issue and nothing was actually mounted into the container.
You could confirm this in the httpd and php container by doing:

docker-compose exec httpd ls -la /var/www/
docker-compose exec httpd ls -la /var/www/default/

docker-compose exec httpd ls -la /shared/httpd/

docker-compose exec php ls -la /var/www/
docker-compose exec php ls -la /var/www/default/

docker-compose exec php ls -la /shared/httpd/

very slow 2000ms minimum on Refresh and cache hit pages too. wsl2

Only way to make it Faster , is to use Remote Plugin of VSCODE to store the Code in the WSL2 Filesystem itself . But I don't know if Devilbox works properly .

@yudhir are you using WSL 2 natively, also without VSCODE?

[yudhir]

Yes , natively as I use Phpstorm IDE. I wanted to make it work on Windows , but too slow. New changes of gRPC FUSE didn't make discernible changes .

Mayebe if var/Vendor folder are left in the container , but PHP code features won't work .

Unfortunately I don't have a Windows to test this out. However in the forums there is one user for whom it seems to work really nicely. Try to ping him there: https://devilbox.discourse.group/t/devilbox-on-windows-10-my-best-experience/231

Docker for Windows itself has no issues . It is as optimised as installing Docker inside WSL2 like the Link above . Problem arises with the Code and Cache , var/vendor being on the Windows Filesystem , which needs to be, for IDE to work .

Using VSCODE and Remote WSL plugin is the right solution . But it won't work for other IDE .

Hello all,

I've bought recently a new PC (Windows 10 Pro) and i've tried the WSL 2 support through Insider Preview Program
Build 19551.rs_prerelease.200118-2023

While installation of Devilbox and usage with CLI run fines, i've an issue when trying to use the web mode and vhosts.

I've follow for installation the good article linked in https://devilbox.discourse.group/t/devilbox-on-windows-10-my-best-experience/231 as @cytopia suggested !

I've added my new vhosts in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and started the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS distro as recommanded in microsoft/WSL#2059

BTW, after running docker-compose up -d to start all default containers (no custom added) i've checked my /etc/hosts file and saw all new vhosts added from Windows etc hosts file.

But when i started the php container, no vhosts were added to /etc/hosts

So i've decided to add it manually with root account ( sudo su - ) and tried to see my new vhosts with
http://localhost/vhosts.php
But I always get error

No Host DNS record found. Add the following to /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 doctrine-audit-bundle-demo.local

For example.
My Devilbox .env file has TLD_SUFFIX=local

Is someone can help me. This is my first experience with WSL. Under native Linux distro, i got no problems.

Thanks
