Who else is forced to use Windows and how do you work around it?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/devops

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • wsl-vpnkit

    Provides network connectivity to WSL 2 when blocked by VPN

  • ipmi-kvm-docker

    A Dockerfile to make it easy to use the ipmi kvm on hosts

  • One workaround I have seen is running fluxbox and noVNC inside the container and accessing the UI via a web browser. Example: https://github.com/solarkennedy/ipmi-kvm-docker

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • vagrant-scripts

    Repository for vagrant configs

  • I've developed for myself scripts, that allows me to set up any WSL distro, completely tailored for my needs and ready to develop in less than 3 minutes: wsl_setup.ps1. Useful, when I need to set another distro if I face any compatibility/dependency issues in the currently used one - distrobox on Linux wouldn't offer me such environment separation.

  • Scoop

    A command-line installer for Windows.

  • This is not directly to you but everyone should also be aware of scoop which is similar to Chocolatey but without a paid tier and more aimed at command-line tools. Directly comparable to apt or brew.
