LocalStack is a popular open-source tool that helps developers mimic the functionalities of cloud services locally. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install LocalStack on Windows 11 step by step.
To follow this tutorial, you should have access to a Windows 11 computer and have the following installed:
Open a command prompt or PowerShell window and navigate to the directory where you would like to install LocalStack.
First, let's check if Docker is installed and running properly. Use the following command to check:
docker --version
If Docker is not installed, download and install it from the official Docker website.
To install LocalStack with all the required dependencies, run the following command:
docker-compose up
This will download and set up LocalStack and all of its dependencies in a Docker container. The first time you run this command, it may take several minutes to download the image and set up the container.
Once the command has completed and LocalStack is up and running, you can access the LocalStack user interface at http://localhost:8080/health. This will show the status of all of the LocalStack services.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed LocalStack on your Windows 11 machine. You can now use LocalStack to mimic various AWS services locally for your development and testing purposes.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
