Custom Installation

This plugin is included with Lando by default. That means if you have Lando version 3.0.8 or higher then this plugin is already installed!

However if you would like to manually install the plugin, update it to the bleeding edge or install a particular version then use the below. Note that this installation method requires Lando 3.5.0+.

# Ensure you have a global plugins directory
mkdir -p ~/.lando/plugins

# Install plugin
# NOTE: Modify the "yarn add @lando/mailhog" line to install a particular version eg
# yarn add @lando/mailhog@0.5.2
docker run --rm -it -v ${HOME}/.lando/plugins:/plugins -w /tmp node:14-alpine sh -c \
  "yarn init -y \
  && yarn add @lando/mailhog --production --flat --no-default-rc --no-lockfile --link-duplicates \
  && yarn install --production --cwd /tmp/node_modules/@lando/mailhog \
  && mkdir -p /plugins/@lando \
  && mv --force /tmp/node_modules/@lando/mailhog /plugins/@lando/mailhog"

# Rebuild the plugin cache
lando --clear
# @TODO
# @NOTE: This doesn't actaully work yet
hyperdrive install @lando/mailhog

You should be able to verify the plugin is installed by running lando config --path plugins and checking for @lando/mailhog. This command will also show you where the plugin is being loaded from.
