Optimizing Transfer Bundles

Compressing the directories to be transferred in .tar.gz format is faster and more efficient than using the native Windows zip feature. In PowerShell, use the following:

Compress

tar -czvf [directory].tar.gz -C [directory] .

Extract

mkdir -p [directory]
tar -xvf [directory].tar.gz -C [directory]

Load All Docker Images

On the air-gapped network, load all Docker images with the following:

Get-ChildItem -Filter *.tar | foreach { docker load -i $_ }

WSL Linux Kernel Updates

The URL in the Build-WslCache script does not point to the latest kernel required by Docker Desktop.

This GitHub Issue Comment identifies how to obtain the latest version:

For users coming here from a Google search for WSL2 Kernel Upgrade:

  • Download the latest kernel from here: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=wsl

  • Open and extract the update to your desktop

  • Load a command prompt with elevated privileges (Start --> cmd --> Right-click --> Run as Administrator)

  • Run these commands in the command prompt:

    cd C:\Users\your_username\Desktop\

wsl --shutdown

wsl_update_x64.msi

wsl

uname -r

This should update the kernel and show you the latest running version.
