Unsupported use of Photon OS packages in WSL2 system distribution - dcasota/photonos-scripts GitHub Wiki

When starting WSL2 system distribution with wsl --distribution Ph5 --system --user root the cbl-mariner distribution is started.

The following recipe is non-persistent. This means the changes will be lost with wsl --shutdown.

1. Copy from a Photon OS installation the files VMWARE-RPM-GPG-KEY and VMWARE-RPM-GPG-KEY-4096 in directory /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/.
   Copy the files temporarily stored on Windows e.g. by cp /mnt/c/Users/Public/VMWARE-RPM-GPG* /etc//pki/rpm-gpg.

2. Run the following commands.

   cat <<EOF >/etc/yum.repos.d/photon.repo
   [photon]
   name=Photon OS $basearch
   baseurl=https://packages.vmware.com/photon/5.0/photon_5.0_\$basearch
   gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/VMWARE-RPM-GPG-KEY file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/VMWARE-RPM-GPG-KEY-4096
   gpgcheck=1
   repo_gpgcheck=0
   enabled=1
   skip_if_unavailable=True
   sslverify=0
