  • xdg-open on wsl/wsl2
    1 project | /r/bashonubuntuonwindows | 30 Mar 2021
    I have a few use cases where I need xdg-open to launch files from wsl, but without an x server I can't do it. I ended up installing wsl-open from github (not mine - author: August Valera) and then linked it at /usr/local/bin/xdg-open so programs that need the dependency can use it. It works great, and thought I would share in case anyone finds this helpful.

    You can use chezmoi to manage files outside your home directory if you really want to.

    For an example, see https://github.com/felipecrs/dotfiles:

    The `home` directory contains home directory files.

    The `root` directory contains root directory files (e.g `/etc`).

  • Running Docker on WSL2 the right way
    5 projects | dev.to | 15 Oct 2021
    For example, in my dotfiles, every single of these steps are automated, including configuring /etc/docker/daemon.json, changing ~/.profile, and even providing a way to automatically update your extra binaries (docker-compose, or the wincred.exe) every time you update your dotfiles (by using a feature of chezmoi - a dotfiles manager which I totally recommend).
