If using Docker Desktop on macOS, you might need to allow [file sharing](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/settings/mac/#file-sharing) for your target folders.
MacOS may prompt you to grant Docker access to your target folders.

**WSL2-compatible paths required with Rancher Desktop on Windows:**
Make sure your Lambda handler paths are specified using WSL2-compatible paths. For example, instead of using a Windows-style path like:
```bash
C:\Users\myuser\projects\lambda\handler.py
```
Use the corresponding WSL-style path:
```bash
/mnt/c/Users/myuser/projects/lambda/handler.py
```
This ensures that LocalStack can properly mount and watch your Lambda code inside the container when running under WSL2.

**Layer limit with hot reloading for layers:**
When hot reloading is active for a Lambda layer (Pro), the function can use at most one layer.
