Podman WSL Service

This tool is meant to run as a service in WSL2 and expose the Podman API to local WSL2 Docker/Podman clients.

It will transparently handle bind mounts from the local WSL2 distro into Podman containers.

Docker API clients such as the Docker CLI and Docker Compose should work with this service.

Warning

Podman Kubernetes pods are not supported and bind mounts will not be handled correctly.

Building an executable

A single executable can be built with pkg.

npm run pkg

Installation

Run install.sh as root to install the service.

sudo ./install.sh

Export the following environment variables in your shell:

DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/podman/podman.sock
CONTAINER_HOST=unix:///run/podman/podman.sock
