# WSL2 DNS Fix/Config
One-liner shell script that will setup your WSL2 image to use custom nameserver `8.8.8.8` from Google.
## Usage
Clone and run the shell:
```bash
sudo sh ./run.sh
```
Restart WSL:
```
wsl --shutdown
```
All done. Make sure you read [what it does](#what-it-does).

#### ⁉️ GitHub DNS not resolving?
You can try `curl --resolve` with one of GitHub's [IP addresses](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/about-githubs-ip-addresses) to force DNS resolution:
```sh
curl --resolve 'codeload.github.com:443:20.201.28.149' 'https://codeload.github.com/epomatti/wsl2-dns-fix-config/tar.gz/refs/tags/v1.0.1' -o wsl2-dnsfix.tar.gz
tar -xf wsl2-dnsfix.tar.gz
cd wsl2-dns-fix-config-1.0.1
sudo sh ./run.sh
```
This will work in distros like Ubuntu 22.04 which are not recognizing github.com out of the box.
Yet another way is to get the archive from the [releases](https://github.com/epomatti/wsl2-dns-fix-config/releases):
```sh
curl -L 'https://github.com/epomatti/wsl2-dns-fix-config/archive/refs/tags/v1.0.1.tar.gz' -o wsl2-dnsfix.tar.gz
```
## What it does
The [`run.sh`](./run.sh) script will perform these tasks:
1. Delete the following files: `/etc/wsl.conf` and `/etc/resolv.conf`
2. Create the new ".conf" files (pre-created in the [dist](./dist/) folder) setting Google DNS for name resolution and preventing WSL from overriding it:
```sh
# /etc/wsl.conf
[network]
generateResolvConf = false
```
```sh
# /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8
```
3. Make `/etc/resolv.conf` immutable
