Depending on the amount of files you exclude, this can bring your application from ugh fml to pretty close open in new window to native speed. Users can now exclude certain directories from using the default Docker Desktop sharing mechanism.


Here is a good third-party guide open in new window on setting most of the above up. In this model the user can usually use something like Windows Terminal to directly interface with the WSL2 machine or something like the WSL2 Extension in VSCODE open in new window to directly edit their files on the same machine. This avoids most file sharing misery and as you might expect is almost as fast as running on Linux natively. While you can use Lando on your host Windows machine and have it talk to the Docker Desktop WSL2 backend it's probably best to spin up another Linux distribution like Ubuntu, also install Lando there and do all your development there. If you see errors when using it we recommend the following corrective action: It's worth switching to but you will need at least Lando 3.9.0 open in new window for it to work correctly. VirtioFS offers significant improvements in performance open in new window over the default gRPC FUSE mechanism. There are, however, a few different things you can do to improve performance.ĭocker Desktop 4.16.1 open in new window finally makes VirtioFS file sharing generally available. Similarly, since Lando is built on top of these technologies, you likely have experienced them while running big sites on Lando as well despite the fact that we already optimize our app mounts. Usually, these performance issues manifest themselves in slow page load times, or exceptionally long cli operations like installing a dependency or clearing an application's cache. If you've ever tried to run a site with a shload of files using Docker Desktop then you've likely experienced some of the very well documented open in new window performance issues associated with doing so.
