Installation Guide for Windows + WSL not up-to-date

[YvesBandi]

Windows development guide is outdated

The Development installation on Windows wiki page (last edited March 2024) contains several outdated references compared to the current codebase and the Linux guide (updated May 2025).

Outdated items

Directory structure

• Guide references cd backend — this directory no longer exists. It's now api/.

Ports & URLs

• Guide says backend API is at http://localhost:3001 — it's now http://localhost:3000/api
• Guide says MailHog is at http://localhost:3007 — it's now http://localhost:3000/mail

Login credentials

• Guide says test-user / test — Linux guide says test@example.com / test

Suggestion

Either update the Windows guide to match the current state, or point users to the Linux guide (since the Windows setup also uses WSL2/Docker and the workflow is essentially identical).
I personally would just point to the Linux since it is hard to keep both in sync

Thanks for bringing this up! Pointing to the Linux instructions sounds reasonable to me. Would you like to prepare a PR for this?

Hei,
I need to find out how to do a PR in the WIKI repo, but i gladly do it after i find out how

[carlobeltrame]

Oh, I forgot this was in the wiki. A PR isn't really possible there.

[YvesBandi]

okee, how shall i do it then?

I have updated the points you brought up in the issue. Referencing the linux docs is still an option though. If you want, you can create the text and I'll insert it into the wiki.
For now, I'm going to close this issue, thanks again for reporting!
