Share Postgresql from Windows to WSL Linux

Hi , I am writting this short tutorial about how to share your current postgresql with postgis extension installed in your windows system with WSL. We will use networking share method.
For me , I needed to Install postgersql on my harddisk and I had it already before installing WSL and in need of sharing . I am documenting the steps you can take if you wanna download and install it in windows

• Install and remember your postgresql and postgis version

I followed graphical installation method to install postgis postgresql bundle in my windows
Download the Installer :

Installing postgresql 15 in my case

• Install Postgis extension from stack builder

You can follow this awesome tutorial in case you get lost

Once you have postgresql on your windows up and running , Now we need to access it from the WSL we have

• Install postgresql client in your wsl

sudo apt install poststgresql-client

• Lets configure network mode in wslconfig

In your windows terminal (Inside Default profile : for eg : In my case C:\Users\mouse)

wsl nano .wslconfig

[wsl2]
networkingMode=mirrored

• Check the connection

 psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -d postgres

• Restart WSL

wsl --shutdown

Now you should be able to connect to your windows localhost from your WSL.
