Usage with wsl2

[Tarang]

Thank you for making this fantastic project

I am running kubefwd svc on windows, and then trying to access the hostnames from WSL2 on Ubuntu but the ports don't see to forward.

I'm aware its possible to also install kubefwd on the WSL side on ubuntu but then it would mean i can't access use docker (as docker runs on the windows side)

@Tarang I am sorry you are having trouble.

I am adding a help wanted flag as I have not used Windows in almost 20 years. I mostly run a Linux workstation (and mac on occation).

I have been stuck with this problem on wsl2 too.

One solution I imagine would be to add a dnsmasq integration instead using /etc/hosts (choosable) somehow. Then on windows just point wsl2 as additional dns server.

Btw, I love this project too!

Use the bash program instead of Ubuntu Terminal and configure AWS credentials for the root user, it should work fine. It does for our setup. Just did it today for a few of our Windows users.

Is there a way to access the forwarded services from WSL to Windows.

Well its been quite a few years now and no other windows developer have decided to jump in. Windows has been a constant pain with this projects and since Microsoft decides to do things their own way then I need MS fans to jump in adn work it out, none have. I run linux and mac, so if any MS dev want this issue solved then they need to chime in on this with a new ticket.
