Modern Symfony/Drupal Development on Windows 10 with WSL / Ubuntu

README.md

I bought a $129 Lenovo Windows Laptop

Let's see how much we can get out of this thing.

Rules

1. Native tools only. No Docker. No Virtualization. No "local dev" products.
2. Minimize the number of apps. No Chrome.
3. Use Windows apps whenever possible. VSCode vs IntelliJ
4. Document all of our steps.

Setup

There are a few steps to get started that aren't fully documented.

0. Install PowerShell or PowerShell 6.

   1. I had to enable something in the windows store to allow "untrusted apps" to be installed. I don't remember exactly how I did that and can't find the page in my history.

1. Enable WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

   1. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10?redirectedfrom=MSDN
   2. Run PowerShell as Administrator.
   3. Run: Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux.
   4. Restart.

2. Install Ubuntu

   1. Press ":windows:" key and type "Ubuntu" to search.
   2. Under "Store", select "Ubuntu: App" and click "Get" to install.
   3. Run the "Ubuntu" App, and you get a Bash terminal! Create your user.

3. Install Drupal LAMP stack:

   sudo apt install apache2 php mysql-server php-mysql php-gd php-xml php-mbstring php-curl composer

4. Install VS Code:

   1. :windows: key, type "vscode".

5. Run VS Code.

   1. When you first run VS Code, you will see a notification: "Enable WSL". This will re-open code with the filesystem from the Ubuntu instance instead!
