Windows WSL: Build/Import a custom linux
Hi,
WSL is not limited to the OS images from the Micosoft store. You can import custom images either when the distributor offers a mini root file system or you can convert docker os images for the import into wsl. This is described in this post.
Requierments are
- WSL enabled
- Docker Desktop for Windows installed with the WSL 2 backend engine installed, enabled and checked if the integration works
Installation Docker Desktop for Windows. Download latest version, start installation and ensure “Install requiered Windows Components for WSL2” is selected.
Logoff and Logon after installation. Start the Docker Desktop
goto settings and check if wsl2 is enabled
Then go to Resources and select the wsl distributions where docker should be available
An example:
Start the wsl distribution Ubuntu and check if docker works.
1 | D:\> ubuntu2004 |
1 2 | michael@windev:~$ docker --versionDocker version 20.10.10, build b485636 |
A “service docker start” as describted in the microsoft documentation is not necessary.
Search docker hub for suitable (offical) OS Image. Here Archlinux
Get the arch linux docker container and start it (see documentation of the vendor)

Get an id from an archlinux container and export the container to one of your Windows drives. Here D:\temp which is mounted under /mnt/d/temp.

Then delete the container and exit wsl
1 | root@windev:/home/michael# docker container rm c50a0039d252 |
Back on the windows command try to import the archlinux tar file.
1 | D:\> wsl --import archlinux D:\temp\wsl\archlinux D:\temp\archlinux.tar |
Check the import
1 2 | D:\> wsl -l --allarchlinux |
and start the distibution
