[Windows] Cross WSL2 distribution interoperability

Open ollypom opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

What is the problem you're trying to solve?. On Windows I can run finch.exe from the Windows environment (cmd / powershell), as well as finch.exe from "my" WSL2 distribution (e.g. Ubuntu) if I have interop enabled in the wsl.conf.

However from "my" WSL2 distribution I am unable to do finch build using a Dockerfile stored in this distribution. finch build would only work if the Dockerfile was stored in the Windows filesystem

Describe the feature you'd like I would to make all finch calls from "my" WSL2 distributions including supporting cross distribution file mounts for finch build and finch run --volume.

Additional context Finch on Windows

Hello,

I am up for this one too, I believe this is what Docker Desktop calls as WSL integration and let's me select any WSL instances that I would like to use docker with.

Is this possible or in the road map at all?
