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

Who needs it:

• Anyone who is tired of configuring WSL over and over again
• Anyone accustomed to Linux cli-utilities but forced to work with windows
• Anyone who cannot access hosts behind a VPN from WSL
• Anyone who wants an example of a cross-platform work space

Dependencies:

• Docker desktop (tested on WSL2)
  • Download
• Windows Terminal (for theme)
  • Download

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 Windows Terminal with PowerShell:

cd \path\to\you\favorite\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:

• Change $HOME/.config/base16-shell/scripts/base16-material-palenight.sh in .bashrc, if don't like the default theme
• Run dpkg-reconfigure tzdata, to set the desired time zone

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

Caution!

Git changes the newline character by default, which can cause problems when building the image. Comment on anything Vim-related, or study THIS and take action.
