WSL Auto Rice Bootstrap Scripts

This is a set of scripts that will automatically setup a WSL with all the programs needed. It works with Fedora & Ubuntu.

1. Clone this repository
2. Optional: modify the list of programs in the programs file
3. Run the install.sh script
4. Use the WSL

Your organization may have its own CA certificates. You can add them to the WSL by putting them in the ca-certificates directory. The install.sh script will automatically copy them to the right place. Just make sure the files are in the right format (.crt).

chmod  x change_dns.sh
./change_dns.sh

If you have DNS issues, you can try to change the DNS server in the /etc/resolv.conf file. You can find script here that would do that for you, just specify DNS servers you want in custom_dns_servers.txt file. Then:

chmod  x change_dns.sh
./change_dns.sh

You need to have WSL installed. If you don't have it, you can install it by following the instructions here.

TL;DR: Open PowerShell as Administrator and run:

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart

Then install wsl itself:

wsl --install

Set WSL 2 as the default version:

wsl --set-default-version 2

This is where you probably need to restart your PC

Then select a distro:

wsl --list --online

And install it:

wsl --install -d <distro>
