I am running Windows 10 and could not get Docker to work right.

Xampp though works.

[jking2076]

I wish there was a comprehensive doc to setup yarn and the rest with xampp. I may have to wing it.

[richardginn]

I just downloaded yarn and installed it as is. I am winning it on creating a module.

[jking2076]

what about node and such?

[richardginn]

The same with node as well.

@jking2076 If you are using XAMPP, all you need to do is install NodeJS and Yarn (optional but recommended) and you are good to go.

Once you have that installed please follow How To Create A Divi Extension in our docs.

https://www.elegantthemes.com/documentation/developers/create-divi-extension/

Note: If you didn't install Yarn you can run npm start/npm build instead of yarn start/yarn build.

Let me know if that helps.

Just a note about the local.divi-dev.site URL. It maps back to your local system using 127.0.0.1. For it to work properly, the docker container has to be mapped to port 80 on your system.

I use docker toolbox.
I set all that inclusive Port Forwarding still i get a broken site .. and the
local.divi-dev.site url not working in environment.
Can you help me?

I solve It!
First check the machine IP Address created by Docker by default is: 192.168.99.100

Second, edit your system host, C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts for some versions of Windows and add lines like this:
192.168.99.100 local.divi-dev.site

I hope it help you!

I had the same issue on my mac. I was able to call up the url local.divi-dev.site again when I switched to another network (my mobile hotspot). But I didn't go further to the error why it didn't work in the other network.
