AlmaLinux 10 Setup

Install system packages:

sudo dnf install epel-release dnf-utils https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-10.rpm -y

You should see the below message, shown the first time you execute a command which requires elevated permissions (hence the sudo modifier at the beginning of the command).

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

For security reasons, the password you type will not be visible.

[sudo] password for dotkernel:

Input your AlmaLinux 10 password and hit Enter.

Update/Upgrade system packages:

sudo dnf upgrade -y

Now, install the latest version of Ansible Core and run ansible-galaxy to install collections:

sudo dnf install ansible-core -y
ansible-galaxy collection install community.general community.mysql

Move inside your home directory (it is /home/ followed by your AlmaLinux 10 username, for example: /home/dotkernel):

cd ~

Clone the alma-linux-10 branch of the dotkernel/development repository:

git clone --branch alma-linux-10 --single-branch https://github.com/dotkernel/development.git

Move inside the directory development/wsl:

cd development/wsl/

Duplicate config.yml.dist as config.yml:

cp config.yml.dist config.yml

Using your preferred text editor, open config.yml and fill in the empty fields. Save and close the file.

Install components by running the below Ansible command:

ansible-playbook -i hosts install.yml --ask-become-pass

The installation process will ask for your AlmaLinux 10 password, then iterate over each task in the playbook and output a short summary with the results.

Once finished, check if everything works by opening in your browser:

The installation is complete, your AlmaLinux 10 development environment is ready to use.

Restart your Windows Terminal to find a new option in the tab selector, called AlmaLinux-10; clicking it will open a new tab connected to AlmaLinux 10.

Running AlmaLinux 10

Open Windows Terminal.

Start AlmaLinux 10 by executing:

wsl -d AlmaLinux-10

OR

Locate the app selector dropdown in Windows Terminal's title bar and click AlmaLinux-10. This will open a new tab connected to AlmaLinux 10.

Note

To run your applications using WSL2, you always need to be connected to your AlmaLinux 10 distribution. For this, all you need to do is to keep open an instance of Windows Terminal that is connected to it.
