However that’s the behaviour we are looking for as we will export the container to a file: # Login to the Red Hat registry Please note we will not run any command, so the container will be created and will directly exit. Let’s create a container with the GO RHEL8 image. However, when searching the build images, and if we pick GO for example, there will be a RHEL8 image. Strangely enough, when searching for the RHEL base images, there’s only RHEL6 and RHEL7 fully featured images. In order to get the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) container images, we need to pull it from Red Hat’s own registry

The easiest way to create a new WSL distro, is to import a container export file. In our case, if we don’t already have one from our company, Red Hat has a very handy (and let’s say it: cool) developer subscription.Īnd while we will be using our subscription for development purposes, there’s an even nicer update on the developer subscription applicability. In order to use Red Hat Linux, we need a subscription. Red Hat is a company that sells services around Linux (duh) and Cloud. Account type: free developer A developer’s Red Hatīefore we start, as stated in the prerequisites, we will need a Red Hat subscription.Initial WSL OS: Ubuntu 20.04 from the Windows Store OS: Windows 10 Professional version 2004 - channel: Insiders dev.That being said, here is the list of components needed to follow this blog: Still, when needed, the page name or “location” will be provided as an helper. Prerequisitesįirst and foremost, for keeping this blog to the “technology” aspect, it will not describe how to browse Red Hat customer portal. So let our Corsair hearts run wild and “steal” this so precious gem. And those are that, even if not “supported”, there’s nothing blocking us to actually bring Red Hat as a WSL Distro. Still, this blog is really not about companies politics, so let’s focus on the good parts. One thing almost for granted is that WSL was/is not part of the partnership between both companies. To no other sources than some posts on Twitter, we currently don’t really know who’s pushing back and for what exact reasons. When looking at the current WSL distributions in the Microsoft Store, anyone with even the smallest knowledge of Linux will remark a big absent from the list: Red Hat.
