That's a brilliant and elegant way to pull a rootfs. Would that have been able to pull snapshots and prereleases such as those offered by Fedora Container Base Project, though?
Thanks for this advice. I am going to experiment a bit, and likely incorporate it into the article.
Nice to know! Thank you so much for sharing. It sounds like this easywsl application basically does the same as a docker pull, docker export, wsl --import, but without having to type out all three commands. Curious if there are other features you value from it.
Thanks for replay, they are using Docker HUB API
as in their repo state that :
use Docker Hub API in order to get .tar or .tar.gz images from there. After getting an image, single or multi-layered, we turn it into single image (multi-layered Docker image case) which we easily import as WSL distro.
And there are so many features that make it really easy to manage WSL with GUI.
Sorry, not too familiar with Fedora tbh. I mostly use CentOS. Just happened to stumble upon this article and figured I'd comment. Here's an article I was able to find that describes the process: medium.com/@hoxunn/wsl-docker-cust.... There's not a whole lot of information out there on this process and a bit of a pain to find.

There is an application on Microsoft store called "easywsl "
you can use it to install any distro directly from docker hub.
