This project is still WIP. Errors can happen every now and then.

WSL2

1. Install clean wsl instance (ubuntu)
2. Login into wsl2 (wsl or wsl -d distro-name) and execute:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get upgrade
   sudo apt-get install git
   
   git clone [email protected]:fliespl/wsl2-ubuntu20.04-ansible.git
   cd wsl2-ubuntu20.04-ansible
   

3. Setup vars in vars/ directory from .dist's
4. Run playbook

   ansible-playbook local.yml
   

Windows

1. Add to Windows hosts file: 192.168.50.16 pma.wsl phpinfo7.4.wsl phpinfo8.0.wsl mailhog.wsl so you can access various services via domain
   1. change IP if you used something else in vars file
2. Make sure following options are set in .wslconfig in C:\Users<USER>.wslconfig

[wsl2]
localhostForwarding=false
guiApplications=false # do not set if you want to use builtin wslg
swap=0 # recommended

Start WSL2 manually

1. Run wsl or wsl -d distro-name
2. Setup static IP (only required once per Windows reboot):
   1. Start elevated powershell - right click start menu "Windows PowerShell (Admin)"
   2. Execute New-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias "vEthernet (WSL)" -AddressFamily IPv4 -IPAddress 192.168.50.88 -PrefixLength 24
   3. Check ping 192.168.50.16 from Windows machine

Start WSL2 and setup static IP on login

1. Run PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -Scope LocalMachine
2. Execute setup_wsl_ip.bat to assign static IP on Windows host for WSL interface.
3. Import two jobs from task-scheduler directory into Windows Task Scheduler:
   • On General tab: Update "When running the task, use the following user account: " to your account
   • On Actions tab: Update .bat file location
   • If needed - update startup_script.bat with your distro name + wsl.exe path

Troubleshooting

1. Restart Windows to check if everything goes up correctly.
2. ping 192.168.50.16 to check if WSL machine responds.
3. Check if task scheduler jobs are setup correctly (user + .bat files locations) - i.e. close WSL and trigger them manually from task scheduler.
