|
|
==============================================

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### **Step 1: Install Latest Version of Ubuntu WSL2**
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
wsl install
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### **Step 2: Download Ubuntu WSL Tarball**
|
||
|
|
Go to the website [cloud-images.ubuntu.com](https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/wsl/releases/24.04/current/) and download the .tar.gz file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unzip the file so there is only one .tar file left.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### **Step 3: Install Second Instance Ubuntu WSL2**
|
||
|
|
Create a folder anywhere on the system. In this example the folder is in ```C:\Test_Server_Cloud\```.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Export the image:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Make a copy of the file, sometimes an error occurs and the image vanishes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
wsl --export Ubuntu2 C:\Test_Server_Cloud\ubuntu-noble-wsl-amd64-wsl.rootfs.tar
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Import the image:
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
wsl --import Ubuntu2 .\Ubuntu2\ .\ubuntu-noble-wsl-amd64-wsl.rootfs.tar
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### **Step 4: Login to Second Instance Ubuntu WSL2**
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
wsl ~ -d Ubuntu2
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### **Step 5: Setup User Accounts**

|
||
|
|
useradd -m -G sudo -s /bin/bash $NEW_USER
|
||
|
|
passwd $NEW_USER
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### **Step 6: Configure Default User**
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
tee /etc/wsl.conf <<EOF
|
||
|
|
[user]
|
||
|
|
default=$NEW_USER
|
||
|
|
EOF
|
||
|
|
```
