2025-08-28wsl: drop the SELinux packages from the WSL base imageGravatar Jeremy Cline
WSL does not support SELinux, so at best it's pointless to install. This also actively breaks WSL 1 users, although I don't think we should suggest that we support that, and if the policy on the builder doesn't match the target things break during the build. It also reduced the build time from ~80 seconds to ~70 seconds for me, so that's nice. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Cline <jeremycline@linux.microsoft.com>
2025-05-29teams/cloud/wsl: Use native "wsl" image typeGravatar Neal Gompa
This introduces extra validation for WSL image creation to ensure the result is usable.
2025-05-15wsl: Add wget to the default package setGravatar Jeremy Cline
Although we include curl, some folks expect wget. Also, one of the more common uses of WSL is in combination with VS Code, and its setup script on remote hosts uses wget. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Cline <jeremycline@linux.microsoft.com>
2025-01-31Add a WSL definition and config snippetsGravatar Jeremy Cline
This introduces the beginnings of an image definition for Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). The package list is based on the core and standard grouplists. Some packages, like the kernel, dracut, and so on, are omitted as they are unnecessary. Others, like audit, don't work in the environment. Finally, many packages are omitted since I thought "people probably won't want that", so the package list is completely up for debate. This is just a reasonable starting point that works. Build/test instructions: To build the tarball: $ ./kiwi-build --image-profile=WSL-Base --image-type=tbz --output-dir=./build/ Get it to a Windows host with WSL installed. To boot it with cgroupsv2, add the following to `.wslconfig` in the Windows host home folder: [wsl2] kernelCommandLine=systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchhy=1 cgroup_no_v1=all This assumes the latest WSL release is installed, at least version 2.4.4: $ wsl --install --from-file .\path\to\the\fedora.tar.xz Alternatively, if you're using something prior to version 2.4.4: $ wsl --import --version=2 Fedora C:\path\to\storage\Fedora\ .\path\to\the\fedora.tar.xz Finally, run it with: $ wsl -d Fedora If you are using 2.4.4+, you will be prompted for a username and then dropped into an interactive shell with that user and passwordless sudo access. If you're using an older version, you need to do: $ wsl -d Fedora -u root # /usr/libexec/wsl/oobe.sh Signed-off-by: Jeremy Cline <jeremycline@linux.microsoft.com>
