Trying to startup a development environment on a PC

[torinfo]

We're trying to setup a development environment using the supplied docker-compose

We needed to fix two (minor ) errors in two of the Donkerfiles (because it was missing a / in a CP command

That still does not fix the issue as the system does not start up.

1. Tried to start the docker-compose in docker desktop, but we get errors about .sh files that are not found:
   contentauthor-startup_1 | exec /docker-entrypoint-dev.sh: no such file or directory.
   We get this error for all containers where a bash shell script is started.

2. We als tried starting the docker-compose in an Ubuntu 22.04 on WSL (on Windows 10)
   the same error occurs

Is there a way to setup a development environment on a Windows PC?

This sounds like missing executable bits (i.e. chmod +x) on the shell scripts, which would occur if the repository was cloned to Windows' file system which doesn't support this attribute. In theory, it should work if the repository is cloned to WSL's home directory.

Thank you for coming back to us. We tried that as well (startup Ubuntu is WSL and clone from there). That doesn't work either. And it was excrtiatingly slow.
In the end we cteated a VM in Virtual PC and that seems to work fine. We use PHP storm to connet remoately to the VM and that seems to work fine as well.

How do you set up debugging? Are you using xdebug? Or something else? And how doe you set up the ports than?

[torinfo]

Please, any suggestion you have to get a system where we can debug is welcome. How do you do that yourself?

[emmachughes]

My setup is macOS, Colima (provides a Docker VM; Docker Desktop has worked for me previously as well), PhpStorm, and the default Docker Compose configuration in Edlib.

In this setup, Xdebug is able to connect to PhpStorm's debug port out-of-the-box. Likely, the issue you have is that Xdebug in Docker isn't able to connect to PhpStorm through the virtual machine. Perhaps this can be solved by changing the client host in Xdebug to point to the virtual machine's host's IP.

Unfortunately, we don't have the resources to support alternate setups, and this isn't really an Edlib issue either. You should consult Xdebug's and PhpStorm's documentations for further help.
