在WSL中安装NixOS

Install NixOS-WSL

First, download nixos.wsl from the latest release.1 https://github.com/nix-community/NixOS-WSL/releases/tag/2505.7.0

If you have WSL version 2.4.4 or later installed, you can open (double-click) the .wsl file to install it. It is also possible to perform the installation from a PowerShell:

wsl --install --from-file nixos.wsl

nixos.wsl must be the path to the file you just downloaded if you’re running the command in another directory.

You can use the --name and --location flags to change the name the distro is registered under (default: NixOS) and the location of the disk image (default: %localappdata%\wsl\{some random GUID}). For a full list of options, refer to wsl --help

To open a shell in your NixOS environment, run wsl -d NixOS, select NixOS from the profile dropdown in Windows Terminal or run it from your Start Menu. (Adjust the name accordingly if you changed it)

配置vscode远程访问

The VSCode Remote server can not be run as-is on NixOS, because it downloads a nodejs binary that requires /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 to be present, which isn’t the case on NixOS.

There are two options to get the server to run. Option 1 is more robust but might impact other programs. Option 2 is a little bit more brittle and sometimes breaks on updates but doesn’t influence other programs. Both options require wget to be installed:

environment.systemPackages = [
    pkgs.wget
];

Option 1: Set up nix-ld
nix-ld is a program that provides /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, allowing foreign binaries to run on NixOS.

To set it up, add the following to your configuration:

programs.nix-ld.enable = true;
