 Pierre Carrier | found the workaround here: https://forum.cursor.com/t/install-cursor-in-nix-os-on-wsl-2/81609/2 | 20:06:44 |

| Pierre Carrier | I don't get links to open in a Windows browser when using aws or gcloud, unlike with arch. Any idea what I might be missing? | 14:43:08 |
 K900 | I don't really know what those do but you probably want something like wslview that will proxy to the Windows side | 15:43:10 |
| Pierre Carrier | sounds right. is that easy to set up? | 16:06:41 |
| Pierre Carrier | I installed wslu but I'm guessing I now need something to point to it? | 16:09:58 |
| Pierre Carrier | yeah just set BROWSER. feels not ideal to add another env variable but that'll do for now | 16:13:13 |

| Pierre Carrier | wow, everyt | 00:04:37 |
| Pierre Carrier | * wow, everything kinda just works hu | 00:04:48 |
| Pierre Carrier | I know very little of what was required, but kudos | 00:05:04 |
| Pierre Carrier | sorry, this is off topic, but if I want to ssh into my nixos-wsl from anywhere, is there much I have to do? I use networkingMode mirrored. unfortunately interacting with this particular install is rather time consuming and difficult so I can't tinker fast | 17:28:12 |
| K900 | I'd maybe just run something like Tailscale inside the VM | 17:28:39 |
| Pierre Carrier | perfect. and to make sure the VM is always running? | 17:29:13 |
| K900 | There's a setting in .wslconfig for how long the VM is kept alive for | 17:29:43 |
| Pierre Carrier | thanks. that and a startup script to run wsl exit 0 should do it then | 17:30:14 |
| Pierre Carrier | yup I'm all set I believe. thanks so much | 17:35:53 |
| Pierre Carrier | once I have a fully running system, can I image it using nix? not a fork of the nixos-wsl repo but everything in my flake: system config, user with home-manager, etc. I'd like to be able to restore my system in one command without exporting with wsl which lives temp files etc. in the backup | 17:37:39 |

| K900 | What do you mean by "image"? | 17:38:10 |
| K900 | Generate a NixOS config from a system that you set up manually? No | 17:38:18 |
| Pierre Carrier | create a .wsl file | 17:38:19 |
| K900 | Build a .wsl file from a NixOS config (with the WSL modules included)? Yes | 17:38:37 |
| Pierre Carrier | that I can restore on other machines in as little time as possible. double click and go | 17:38:40 |
 nzbr (they/it) | It should be possible (wsl --export I think), but I don't know if it will work well | 17:39:34 |
| K900 | I think what they want is to build a tarball | 17:40:08 |
| K900 | Which is yes a thing you can do | 17:40:13 |
| Pierre Carrier | yeah --export has all the transient stuff I'd rather lose | 17:40:20 |
| nzbr (they/it) | Building a .wsl file from your own config should work fine though. But I don't remember the command for doing that without flakes | 17:40:28 |
| Pierre Carrier | as in, not carry around | 17:40:35 |
| Pierre Carrier | I use flakes | 17:41:07 |
