if for some reason you have to work in an unfamiliar environment - this can help you

thanks can be sent to the e-mail in the profile

Who needs it:

• Devops engineers
• Anyone accustomed to Linux cli-utilities but forced to work with windows
• Anyone who cannot access hosts behind a VPN from WSL

Dependencies:

• WSL 2
• Docker desktop
• (Optional as the theme settings have been tested on it) Windows Terminal

How to use it:

Docker desktop should be running!

Git clone to your favorite empty folder or download and extract the archive into it

Open PowerShell:

cd \path\to\you\favorite\empty\folder

docker-compose up -d

docker ps

docker exec -it (copy and paste the name or id from the command output above) bash

After installation, inside container run:

• bash /root/.config/base16-shell/scripts/theme_name, if don't like the default theme
• dpkg-reconfigure tzdata, to set the desired time zone
• Open any file with vim and run :PlugInstall

*Your needs may be broader than mine. Edit the Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml according to your needs.

Caution! Adding apt-get upgrade to the RUN clause will break build
