Windows Installation
WordPressify works on Windows through Docker Desktop. No extra configuration is required.
File Watching
The file watcher uses polling by default (it checks for changes every second), so live reload works on Windows out of the box.
Recommended: WSL2 Backend
For the best performance on Windows, enable the WSL2 backend in Docker Desktop:
- Open Docker Desktop > Settings > General.
- Check Use the WSL 2 based engine.
- Restart Docker Desktop.
WSL2 provides faster file system operations and better container performance compared to the Hyper-V backend.
