easyWSL

Create WSL distros based on Docker Images.

Made with ❤ by @wrobeljakub and @redcode-labs team.

easyWSL 2.0

The new version of easyWSL with graphical interface and many new features is almost finished. If you want to test the upcoming release please fill out this form.

What does this project do?

There's a script inside which downloads a .tar or .tar.gz image from Docker Hub. In fact, it can be more than just one .tar/.tar.gz, that's why bsdtar.exe is included in this repo, because it is responsible for 'merging' all .tar/.tar.gz files together. Then, one big .tar/.tar.gz is created (if it's needed, we don't have to do this thing if the image contains just one layer) and can be easily exported as a WSL distro.

How to use it?

Just go to our release page, download latest release and just run it. Done!

Building on your own

Prerequisites

• Windows 10 1607 or later (for WSL1) or Windows 10 1903 (18362) or later
  • Note: you might want to check instructions on how to enable WSL here
• Developer Mode enabled
• Visual Studio 2019 or later
• The following workloads:
  • .NET Desktop Development
• The following extensions:
  • System.Text.Json

(Upon opening the repo in Visual Studio, it will prompt you to install any missing workloads and features.)

Building

We currently only build using the solution; command line methods of building a VS solution should work as well.

Command List

--help / -h -> list all available commands--name / -n -> name for your distro--distro / -d -> id of the distro in the sources.json file--path / -p -> path where you want to place your .vhd (it's basically how WSL distros work, they're .tar/.tar.gz files turned into .vhd with Linux filesystems)
