For using etc/hosts for WSL2

[ardeay]

I use a Ubuntu WSL2 install. Using etc/hosts i like to override my localhost domain to something like test.zesty.io

Recently using in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

127.0.0.1          localhost

Has failed, and it worked before! Maybe a docker or windows update changed this, if you have issues try this!

1. run your project in WSL npm run dev
2. open new wsl terminal, type ip addr show eth0 | grep 'inet\b' | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d/ -f1
3. Copy the IP output, mine was 172.27.146.109 for example
4. Open notepad as administrator
5. Click file > open use C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
6. add 172.27.146.109 test.zesty.io (use your ip outputted from line 3.)
7. Save and check your browser with the new domain
8. You can also test from powershell using Test-NetConnection test.zesty.io -p 3000
