Question

Hello everyone,
how to bind a permanent IP address to WSL2?
thanks in advance

Answer 1

Get wsl ip:

#!/bin/bash

rawIp=$(ip addr | grep eth0)
rawIp=$(echo $rawIp | egrep -o '[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}\/')

echo ${rawIp::-1}

Resolve dns in windows:

#!/bin/bash

hosts=/c/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts
newHosts=/tmp/hosts

cp $hosts $newHosts

originIp=$(cat $newHosts | grep wsl)
newIp="$(getWslIp) wsl"

sed -i "s/$originIp/$newIp/" $newHosts

cp $newHosts $hosts
