Windows for https://docs.lando.dev/guides/offline-dev.html ? #392
Description
Hi Lando team!
Currently, the Offline Development guide only includes instructions for macOS. There are no steps provided for Windows users.
Since many developers use Lando on Windows (via WSL2 or native Docker Desktop), it would be helpful to have equivalent instructions or at least notes on how to set up offline caching and dependencies on Windows environments.
Suggested improvements:
- Add a Windows section to the guide (covering both native Windows and WSL2 setups if relevant).
This would make the offline workflow more accessible across all supported platforms.
Thanks for considering! 🙏

Not Lando team, but:
If you're using only a few .lndo.site domains, adding it manually to the hostfile would be my recommended approach.
If you have many:
Try Acrylic DNS; and make sure your WSL also uses this DNS.
Or disable the proxy https://docs.lando.dev/landofile/proxy.html#configuration
You may also try my plugin that writes everything to you hostfile, like many other similar tools do. Try my plugin:

However, I'm not 100% certain it still works, as no-one really uses it. Feel free to open an issue if it no longer works.
Install instructions are missing, but basically upload the files to ~/.lando/plugins/lando-hostfiles and it should work.
