would I not need nmap etc on WSL to do so?. now periodically I want to check its network performance. I start my dev ruby rails server on my linux box, it runs in background after I hide wsl. Some thoughts as an observer about the use case are above, but also once there are daemons, how about this scenario Its just when I want to do a "live " test it fails. The great thing is, they compile and I can read from pcap files files. I develop apps that use libpcap and/or netmap on Linux. Every few months I try out the latest Linux subsystem on my wifes laptop to see if it can replace my MacBook for mobile development. But here James doesn't say why he wants to use it. => this is the same concern as on this issue ticket, ie we thought WSL would replace needing also to have a VM. James commented J22:54 Pls support, don't want to have to run a VM to get these tools to work, kinda meant to be able to replace the need to have a VM to get a real Linux CLI. I checked and found the most substantial comments were: In this context is a development goal you are trying to achieve, not "run native Linux wireshark" (which is a means not a goal). Your complaint is well taken that Uservoice is lacking and ' absent a single: "In my development workflow I do, but I am unable to to because there is no AF_PACKET support in WSL". " That rings true to me, and I'm wondering what dev projects I should/not think of with WSL. The WSL FAQ states an intent not to support server tasks and references other tools like Docker, but aren't alot of the complex ruby programs related to server usage? In fact, isn't it exactly Linux's 'free enterprise services' such as nmap, tcpdump, etc that got it into the market(s) (of RubyRails hosting for ex.)? As one anonymous poster wrote on the UserVoice, above, Novem17:43 "we use linux because we are nerds dev nerds, infra nerds, network nerds, or all of the above. Are those scenarios satisfactorily solved without networking, ie this ticket #1349, fully supported? The FAQ for WSL, above, references MS's desire to support dev on ruby stacks that use long filepaths and such. #INSTALL TCPDUMP TSHARK NMAP WINDOWS#
For certain coding, like simple bash scripts, windows powershell already provides some interop with linux - no WSL required, right? (or maybe it is/was?).For pure 'development,' ie writing code, I can do that almost anywhere with a text editor nowadays.The idea of WSL focusing on dev not enterprise scenarios confuses me. If so, maybe you all can clarify and show us the win(s). Perhaps this is really a marketing / product placement question that apparently many of us share. ) I already think Powershell's Bash sugar support is terrific.
#INSTALL TCPDUMP TSHARK NMAP MAC#
(I have a windows machine I love, but my current shop is mac based. I've been really excited by WSL and am trying to figure out for myself how /when I can use it. TL DR: Is there a blog post that describes this distinction in more detail, perhaps with more compelling use cases than ? Ty for the interesting remark: "WSL's focus is on development related scenarios, not enterprise scenarios (for some definition of either category)."
