[09:31:15]<mstenta[m]>@room Happy December everyone!
[09:59:45]<JJARRINF[m]>I spent some time setting up a development environment for FarmOS on this weekend, I follow the guide.. but I can't complete it, is there any advice for setting up the environment on Windows 11 / Visual Studio Code?
[10:00:51]<mstenta[m]>jjarrinf: Cool! Did you encounter an issue?
[10:01:06]<mstenta[m]>I don't have experience with Windows 11 / Visual Studio Code, so I probably can't help with that part.
[10:01:59]<JJARRINF[m]>So what is your recommended platform, I could work in a Linux setup..
[10:02:16]<mstenta[m]>I use Debian linux myself
[10:05:18]<JJARRINF[m]>mstenta[m]: Okay..l'll work on it.. Debian scare me (just a little).. I used to work on Ubuntu or SUSE.. some time ago.. Thanks!
[10:05:51]<symbioquine[m]>Plain Debian has gotten way more user friendly lately.
[10:06:18]<mstenta[m]>Agreed. I started on Ubuntu and moved to Debian. It was an easy transition.
[10:06:27]<symbioquine[m]>No ancient terminal installer needed any more.
[10:06:44]<mstenta[m]>jjarrinf: But if you ran into an issue on Win 11 perhaps there's an easy solution...
[10:07:06]<mstenta[m]>I know some people are running dev environments in Windows
[10:07:14]<symbioquine[m]>Even Arch Linux has a guided installer now 😆 (albeit not exactly a user-friendly one)
[10:08:18]<JJARRINF[m]>mstenta[m]: The last issue was related to networking in the WSL, but the docker image did not find some packages too
[10:10:55]<mstenta[m]>OK well happy to provide ideas if it helps...
[10:11:01]<JJARRINF[m]>probably is related to the networking problem.. I'lll need more hours to fix it I guess..
[10:12:05]<JJARRINF[m]>symbioquine[m]: My first one was Slackware I guess .. using 3.5" disks and setting up the partitions by hand with command line.. (1994??).. I was younger and wild...
[10:16:20]<mstenta[m]>Ah yeaaa the good old days 😆👴
[10:16:54]<mstenta[m]>I started later than that... I think with Red Hat (?)... but definitely remember installing from floppies and manual partitioning
[11:03:30]<ktohalloran[m]>jjarrinf: I work in Windows 11 using WSL, though I use PHPStorm instead of Visual Studio Code. Are you installing the codebase and running Docker from WSL? I can't promise I'll have any ideas, but what networking issues were you seeing?
[11:06:26]<JJARRINF[m]>ktohalloran[m]: I guess everything starts with the networking, I can't ping from the WSL so that I thing the Docker cannot download some components. I already shutted down the Firewall, open some ports on Defender.. configured the networking on the WSL changing to mirrored networking..

[11:34:01]<MiriamNugent[m]>Hey mstenta - do you have a sense yet of when we will have a farmOS 4 release? The farm_multitenant module has a dependency on an old patch that I had downloaded from the [Organization PR](https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/pull/849). I'm wondering if I should focus on getting multitenant ready for v4, or maybe backporting Organizations to v3. I think backporting would not be trivial, right?
[11:34:32]<mstenta[m]>Hi Miriam Nugent! Yes! I think it would be worth getting multitenant ready for v4!
[11:35:27]<mstenta[m]>Backporting would be nearly impossible. And I am working on the last set of changes for v4 right now. It will still take a few weeks to get everything merged, I'm sure, but I feel the finish line approaching. :-)
[11:37:21]<MiriamNugent[m]>So, Jan/Feb maybe?
[11:39:07]<mstenta[m]>I am secretly targeting January 1st ;-)
[11:39:28]<mstenta[m]>But that's a secret 🤫 😄
[11:43:33]<MiriamNugent[m]>your secret's safe with me 🤐 😅
[11:46:36]<ktohalloran[m]><JJARRINF[m]> "I guess everything starts with..." <- jjarrinf Any chance doing [this](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/5256#issuecomment-995616961) helps?
[16:59:04]<JJARRINF[m]><ktohalloran[m]> "jjarrinf Any chance doing [this]..." <- Testing..
[17:02:01]<JJARRINF[m]>ACTION uploaded an image: (30KiB) < https://matrix.org/oftc/media/v1/media/download/AZNX4ANZqWzMQxjIlfvhEDmH... >
[17:02:04]<JJARRINF[m]>Okay.. so.. here is where I am
