Local WSL Setup

WindowsSetup.md

Deprecated in favor of Valet Wiki Page

I set up the wiki page for the valet-wsl project and moved the install guide there. This way it can have user contributions. Please have all disscussions or issues under the valet-wsl project so I can be aware of it. Please go to Valet Wsl Installation Guide

Thanks again for the doc, by the way, had some performance problems, but fixed them using
adding fastcgi_buffering off; to nginx

On the matter of running install_certs after valet secure. Haven't tried but maybe using this "win-sudo" could make the trick https://github.com/imachug/win-sudo/blob/master/s/sudo

I spent 12 hours today banging my head on a wall while my site was half loading, and then stalling for 60 seconds before loading the images, or running an AJAX request.

I added fastcgi_buffering off; and fastcgi_keep_conn on; to my nginx config and it fixed it first try. This just saved my a$$.

How to make valet loading fast in wsl:
open nginx config file in any editor (located in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf)

Add this line
fastcgi_buffering off;
and save the file

Then restart nginx by running this command
sudo service nginx restart

Now every site will run fast :D

Please help. I can't figure it out why this happens.

This site can’t be reached mysite.dev refused to connect.

But when I browse to 127.0.0.1 I can see "404 - Not found" by valet

I'm looking to install the LaravelValetSelfSigned.pem root CA so that SSL sites work without warnings, however I can't find this file? laravel/valet#515

Edit: @valeryan It looks like a lot of improvements have been made upstream such as using a root CA that can be installed on devices, and allowing secure sharing through ngrok.

If the new Valet setup uses its own or a custom root CA then I think there is no longer a need to have the windows scripts that install each site certificate as only the root CA would need to be installed as a one time setup.

Is there any plan to merge in those changes or would that be too complicated given the changes that need to be made to support WSL?

Please fix this line export PATH=/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH it will be export PATH=/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH

I am having some issues at the MySQL config step.

namelus@DESKTOP-2ORV3KU:/etc/mysql$ sudo mysqladmin -u root -h localhost password <myPassWord>
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

Any suggestions?

Did this work? I am still encountering the 404.

In order to have correct permissions i would add the following commands
sudo umount /mnt/c
sudo mount -t drvfs C: /mnt/c -o metadata
