Running LXC/LXD VM in WSL2 (Windows 11 Only)

If you just running LXC/LXD containers, the default settings for WSL2 (both Windows 10 and Windows 11) should be adequate.

However, if trying something like lxc launch images:alpine/3.18 --vm, LXC will complain that vhost_vsock module is not loaded.

Here's how I configure WSL2 so I can run VM with LXC/LXD.

Enable Local/Remote Docker API on PhotonOS

Prerequisites

You must have already performed the following in one form or another as well as properly set a STATIC IP. Bear in mind many instructions do not properly show how to commit iptables changes on Photon which then survive reboots.

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 2375 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 2376 -j ACCEPT
iptables-save > /etc/systemd/scripts/ip4save

	# best practice: linux
	nano ~/.pgpass
	:5432::username:password
	chmod 0600 ~/.pgpass

	# best practice: windows
	edit %APPDATA%\postgresql\pgpass.conf
	:5432::username:password

	# linux

	<?php namespace App\Providers;

	var urlify = function(a){return a.toLowerCase().replace(/[^a-z0-9]+/g, "-").replace(/^-+\|-+$/g, "-").replace(/^-+\|-+$/g, '')};
