WSL2

Wrong Timezone​

Errors like Can't verify jwt token

Probably because wsl messes up with the time zone when waking up from sleep mode. --> Sync the time zone with windows

sudo hwclock -s

PSQL not running: ERRCONNECT​

Start the db service, on WSL:

sudo service postgresql start
sudo service postgresql status

Configuration​

Add under %UserProfile% a file called .wslconfig containing some boundaries for your wsl:

[wsl2]
memory=8GB
swap=2GB
autoMemoryReclaim=gradual

you could even specify processors=2 to limit the cpu cores wsl can use.

Additionally, you mightg want to disable AntiVirus to scan the wsl file system:

  1. Open Windows Sicherheit
  2. Go to Viren- und Bedrohungsschutz
  3. exclude the folder %LocalAppData%\wsl from beeing checked.
