This means that according to the docs, one curl command and I shall be ready to go: To be fair I had a WSL2 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with a docker-ce and docker-cli installed already and due to the last year’s licensing misery of the Docker Desktop I try to stay away from it. So the official Laravel 9 docs suggests to install WSL2 and Docker Desktop.

No more XAMPP and php version management, thank god times are changing. To get started with a laravel project even the new Laravel 9 documentation says that use sail under WSL2 to get started, and this is big a relief for me, that even the laravel community jumped into the microservice architecture-based development. So if you managed to get here due to the same errors I got, this post will help. Basically 2-3 issues and posts which I was able to find. To be a little bit more specific, the problem was that the WSL2 DNS settings are really vaguely implemented, and I am quite surprised that I didn’t find more complaint about it. I needed to create a laravel blog motor for one of my interviews in the past 2 weeks, and even to just get started I bumped into some problems.
