Open a PowerShell terminal with administrator rights and run choco install mkcert.home/LINUX_USERNAME), not in the Windows filesystem (/mnt/c), for a much better performance. Make sure you put your projects in the Linux filesystem (e.g. This way, you benefit from very good (Linux-based) performance while having the convenience to access your DDEV sites from within Windows. Docker + DDEV will basically be running in WSL2 and expose ports to Windows. To make things more visual, let's take a look at the image below. This is also Microsoft's recommended approach. Don't go back and forth between the regular Windows side and WSL2. We're ready to install DDEV! Please note that there's one gotcha here: we'll install DDEV for Linux, not for Windows! This is because you will get the best performance when working in the Linux filesystem.
When you're done, go to Docker Desktop settings > Resources > WSL integration > enable integration for your distro (now docker commands will be available from within your WSL2 distro): Go ahead and download Docker Desktop for Windows from Docker Hub. Next up is Docker Desktop, which uses the WSL2 backend by default since version 2.3.0.2. Make sure to install Ubuntu (or any other distro) before installing Docker, so that Ubuntu becomes the default WSL distro. In this example, we'll be using Ubuntu 20.04, which you can download from the Microsoft Store. Don't forget to set the default WSL version to WSL2! wsl -set-default-version 2
You can follow Microsoft's official instructions to do this. You won't need NFS anymore once you switch to WSL2, since it provides awesome filesystem performance out of the box 🚀 Outlineįirst, we'll have to install WSL2 on our machine. If you're already familiar with DDEV on Windows, you might have been using NFS for better filesystem performance. Docker Toolbox support for DDEV will be deprecated, as we'll move testing capacity towards WSL2. Now that WSL2 is about to become generally available as part of the Windows (2004) update, it's time to look into running DDEV on WSL2!Īll Windows 10 editions (including Windows 10 Home) support WSL2.
