This is a shell script that can be run in the Ubuntu for Windows Bash running on the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to configure Bash for development using commandline Docker and Git commands in Windows 10.
Instructions for installing the Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10 and Ubuntu for Windows can be found at the official WSL website:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide
(The installation may require a system restart)
Once installation is complete, you should be able to start Ubuntu for Windows from the start menu. This project also includes an example shortcut for starting Ubuntu Bash.
Instructions for installing Docker for Windows can be found at the official Docker website:
https://store.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-windows
(The installatiion may require a system restart to enable Hyper-V)
Once Docker for Windows has been installed, you will need to configure it so that it can be accessed from the WSL bash.
Git comes installed by default with Ubuntu for Windows. You can clone this repository immediately from your WSL Bash by running:
git clone https://github.com/jmaxwilson/wsl-docker-git-setup.gitOnce the code has been cloned you can run
wsl-setup.shcd wsl-docker-git-setup./wsl-setup.shThe interactive shell script:
.bashrc_wsl.bashrcdocker-cedocker-composeDOCKER_HOST.bashrc_wsl/c/mnt/cOnce the script has completed, you will need to exit bash and start it again for some of the changes to be applied.
You should be able to run
dockerdocker-composeYou can test them by running:
docker infodocker-compose versiondocker run hello-worldThis makes it much easier to run most of the same docker scripts on Windows that you do on Linux or Mac by using WSL and Ubuntu Bash instead of GitBash and Git for Windows.
