.WSL images of RHEL 8 - 10 are available on the Customer Portal RHEL 8, RHEL 9, and RHEL 10 images for the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) can now be downloaded from the Red Hat Customer Portal. These images are available for all RHEL subscriptions, including no-cost developer subscriptions. By using the WSL images, you can create RHEL instances on your Windows system. Note that the WSL images are provided as self-supported. As such, they are not supported by Red Hat, and are intended for application development purposes only. In addition, the following issues are currently present in the RHEL guest operating system if you use a WSL image with a Windows WSL host: * WSL instances of RHEL might work incorrectly in a graphical interface. Using a text user interface is recommended instead. * To use podman, you must add the following lines to the `/etc/containers/containers.conf` file, in addition to the standard configuration steps: + ---- [network] firewall_driver="iptables" ---- * To use cloud-init, you must create the `/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99_wsl.cfg` file and add the following content to it, in addition to the standard configuration steps: + ---- datasource_list: [WSL] network: {config: disabled} ---- * It is not possible to set SELinux to enforcing mode. * FIPS mode is not available in WSL instances of RHEL.
