- Set up a WSL development environment
- Install Docker without Docker Desktop
- Install Docker Engine on Ubuntu
- After install:
sudo service docker start

Create global WSL config in C:\Users\<UserName>\.wslconfig and specify memory limit, for example 6 gigabytes:

xclip is already installed on Ubuntu 22.04, but will not work.
To copy into Windows clipboard use clip.exe instead, example:
echo 123 | clip.exeSome CLI tools like pass depend on xclip or wl-copy.
To make it work, make system-wide shim to clip.exe:
Create /usr/local/bin/xclip and /usr/local/bin/wl-copy with contents:
#!/bin/sh
clip.exeMake both executable: chmod +x /usr/local/bin/xclip /usr/local/bin/wl-copy
Now pass running in WSL is able to copy your secret into Windows clipboard:
$ pass -c some-website/my-password
Copied some-website/my-password to clipboard. Will clear in 45 seconds.Shim to open file under WSL in firefox which is running on host Windows.
Create /usr/local/bin/firefox:
#!/bin/bash
WSL_HOST_PATH="file://///wsl.localhost/Ubuntu"
ARG=$(echo "$1" | sed -r "s|^(file://)?/|$WSL_HOST_PATH/|")

firefox $HOME

May be caused by conflicting IP ranges that WSL and Docker use.
Solution: add to or create /etc/docker/daemon.json with:
{
"bip" : "10.99.0.1/16"
}MTU is the largest packet or frame size, specified in octets (eight-bit bytes) that can be sent in a packet- or frame-based network.
