Arch Linux WSL – MRR Group Developer RootFS

A minimal Arch Linux RootFS for WSL 2, prepared by MRR Group as a base image for local development.

It ships with a standard Arch base system plus pre-configured Docker Engine.

The RootFS is automatically rebuilt on the 1st of every month at 07:24 UTC.

⚠️ Important Notes

1. This is a clean Arch Linux image with basic CLI tools, Docker and FRP pre-installed for development use.
2. WSL 2 only – WSL 1 is not supported.
3. Before installing, we recommend reviewing the official Arch Linux on WSL guide.
4. The image is intended as a pre-configured developer-ready baseline for MRR Group projects and includes a default Docker setup.

🚀 Installation

On WSL ≥ 2.4.4

wsl --install --from-file /path/to/archlinux.wsl

On older WSL

wsl --import Arch-Dev C:\WSL\Arch-Dev .\archlinux.wsl

💡 Install on a Different Drive

wsl --import Arch-Dev E:\WSL\Arch D:\Downloads\archlinux.wsl

• Arch-Dev – the name under which the distro will appear in wsl --list.
• E:\WSL\Arch – the folder where WSL will store the filesystem.
• D:\Downloads\archlinux.wsl – path to your downloaded RootFS file.

🟢 First-Run OOBE

1. Create your UNIX user account.
2. systemd is enabled and Docker initialized.
3. mmr-gen-frpc generates your basic FRP config (~/frpc.toml).
4. frpc.service is enabled (user-level) to start automatically.

➕ Adding Extra Domains

Expose another local port over FRP:

mmr-add-domain <name> <localPort>
# e.g. mmr-add-domain app 5173

This appends a new [[proxies]] block to ~/frpc.toml and restarts the client.
