wsl-vpnkit VS podman

I'm going to wait a while to see how the new VPN stuff works out. Previously WSL2 didn't work with a Windows VPN without an extra tool ( https://github.com/sakai135/wsl-vpnkit ), hopefully this might fix things, but not going to risk trying it in case it breaks everything.

https://github.com/sakai135/wsl-vpnkit fixes that problem for me, and is less annoying than other fixes I tried

If it works at all like WSL, you might want to look at wsl-vpnkit.

It's not a proxy, but would give some idea how to shim into the middle.

there's a fix for that! https://github.com/sakai135/wsl-vpnkit

Had similar issue. wsl-vpnkit resolved it for me. Very simple instructions to get it up and running.

I had similar issues with a different VPN/Proxy at an earlier role. I solved with https://github.com/sakai135/wsl-vpnkit and trusting the root certificate of the proxy on the rancher desktop WSL2 vm (Assuming you're on Windows as I was).

Docker desktop pays for itself by solving these issues though IMO (I wasn't able to get a licence at the old role however)

If your host OS can connect to your company network, you can run docker on that host OS and have it hit the same network. I’m using docker w/ WSL2 and https://github.com/sakai135/wsl-vpnkit to accomplish this. It is, of course, more complicated than that, but that’s the general approach.

Podman

Even though we will focus on Docker for this article, I wanted to mention that there are more container creation and management tools such as Podman, Rkt, and so on.

By using containerization, the application will always have the same configuration that is used in the development environment and production environment. There is no more "It works on my machine". Some examples of containerization technologies are Docker and Podman.

AFAIK podman either already supports pods in quadlet container files, or will in the near future. https://github.com/containers/podman/pull/20762

Podman as a devcontainers engine doesn't currently work if you use devcontainer features [1] or (and this sounds like you're issue) if you use WSL2.

I haven't submitted the WSL2 issue to the Podman team yet. If you get to it before I do, can you like it here?

You can also use their Oracle Linux Docker images with the database preinstalled using either Podman or Docker. Just make absolutely sure you are downloading something you are licensed to use, because it seems really easy to accidentally infringe copyright via this method.

It's an open source project. https://github.com/containers/podman and https://podman.io - go there, get engaged, see what's going on and most important become part of the community and contribute!

If you are using a rootless container management system, you can set the JEKYLL_ROOTLESS environment variable to any non-zero value. For example, you can use the following to initialize a new jekyll project in the current directory using podman.

Podman 4.7.2: Podman 4.7.2 is now included in Windows and Mac installers
