wsl2-archlinux

Arch Linux configuration files that I use to run on WSL2.

This is a Docker generated image that is built then exported to a tarball and then imported into WSL2.

Usage:

1. Update the configs\wsl.conf file with the correct username and hostname:

#Example
[network]
hostname = "PRD-UXC001"

[user]
default = "ben"

2. Create the container image using Docker:

REM Set the %pass% variable as the desired password for the user specified in the --build-arg:
set pass=your_password
set user=user_name
docker build --tag wsl2arch --secret id=pass,env=pass --build-arg user=%user% .

2. Create the container from the image and then export to a tarball:

docker run --name wsl2arch wsl2arch
docker export --output="wsl2arch.tar" wsl2arch

3. Remove the container now it has been exported:

docker rm wsl2arch

4. Import the tarball into WSL2:

wsl --import Arch <"wsl_store"> <"wsl2arch.tar">
