Subject: [bug#53912] [PATCH 0/5] WIP Add WSL support.
Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2022 06:05:43 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <875ypndznv.fsf@ajgrf.com> (raw)
These patches are a work-in-progress, adding support for running Guix
System under [WSL].
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) lets developers run a GNU/Linux
environment – including most command-line tools, utilities, and
applications – directly on Windows, unmodified, without the overhead
of a traditional virtual machine or dual-boot setup.
Things mostly just work already. To try it out, first generate an
os tarball:
┌────
│ guix system image gnu/system/images/wsl.scm
└────
Then copy the result to your Windows system and run:
┌────
│ wsl --import guix ./guix/ image.tar.gz
└────
You can now run Guix System under WSL:
┌────
│ wsl -d guix
└────
The approach I took is copied from the [NixOS-WSL] project. Since WSL
doesn’t run the guest distro’s init system, as a work-around I set the
root user’s shell to a script that boots the system and then starts a
user login shell.
Thanks,
–
