Binding AWS VPS IP Address with Hostinger Subdomain

By
Bind AWS IP with Hostinger Sub-Domain To bind an AWS IP address to a Hostinger subdomain, you need to update the DNS records of your Hostinger domain to point to the AWS IP address. Here’s a step-by-step guide to achieve this: Step1: Find the AWS IP Address If you have an EC2 instance, you can find the IP address in the AWS Management Console under the "Instances" section. Note the Public IPv4 address. Step2: Access Hostinger DNS Management Log in to your Hostinger account. Go to the "Domains" section and select the domain for which you want to configure the subdomain. Navigate to the "DNS Zone" or "DNS Settings" for that domain. Step3: Create a Subdomain and Point to AWS IP In the DNS settings, create a new A record. Set the "Name" or "Host" field to your subdomain (e.g., subdomain.yourdomain.com ). Set the "Points to" or "Value" field to your AWS IP address. Set the TTL (Time to Live) to the default value...

ASIC - Install Linux Inside Windows WSL2 (Solved)

Image
By


I am writing this blogpost just for one reason which is whenever we search google for installation of 2 operating systems on single PC, there are so many descriptive blogs and tutorial videos of "how to" but the authors and publishers sometimes perhaps deliberately forget to mention that what is the true purpose of their blogpost or video. This usually deviates the newbie or less techno person from their target purpose, instead redirects to other ventures which he/she is not wanting and hence cause frustration.

In this blogpost I will clearly inform regarding WSL and WSL2 and I will also clearly state the purpose of using WSL for installing Linux on Windows. So lets start.

What is WSL and WSL2

Let's start with the brief information of WSL and WSL2. WSL stands for Windows Subsystem for Linux Architecture which is GNU / Linux Environment including most of the command-line tools, utilities, and applications and most importantly it runs Selected Linux Distribution directly on Windows which is unmodified and without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine or dual boot setup. 

Whereas, WSL2 is a new version of the Windows Subsystem for Linux Architecture which empowers WSL to run ELF64 Linux binaries on Windows. The primary goal is to increase file system performance as well as adding full system call compatibility.

Purpose of Using WSL and WSL2

First and very important fact to know about using WSL is that IF YOU NEED TO INSTALL LINUX DISTRIBUTION INSIDE WINDOWS ENVIRONMENT, WSL is the best and legal way for you. INSIDE means that you have a running Windows 10 or Windows 11 and you want to run Linux Distribution so that the Windows is still running and you will be able to use the command line of Linux Distribution inside the running Windows. This method will not create dual boot of Windows and Linux Distribution.

Installation Methodology

So let's now assume that if you are still reading this blogpost, it might mean that you have already understood the purpose of using WSL and WSL2 for installation on Linux Distribution inside Windows Environment and perhaps you are going to use this method. So let's start the Installation procedure.

1. Open Control Panel of Windows 10 / 11

2. Select Programs icon
Control Panel for Enabling WSL
3. Now click on Programs and Features
4. On the left side of the screen see for Turn Windows Features On and Off and click on it
5. It will open new window Windows Features
6. Scroll down to the option Windows Subsystem for Linux and enable it "click on the check box to enable it" and press OK button. This will first search for the required tools and then apply changes.
7. Restart your Windows
Check if WSL is properly configured or not
8. Open command prompt and verify that the WSL is working correctly by typing command bash. If the WSL is working fine then you will receive response from command "Windows Subsystem for Linux has no Installed Distribution. Distributions can be installed by visiting the Microsoft Store.....". This means that the WSL has been properly configured in your Windows 10 or 11 platform and now it is time to add the app of Desired Linux Distribution from Windows Market.

9. Open Windows Market and search for your desired distribution of Linux. In my case, I wanted to install latest available distribution of Ubuntu so I searched for Ubuntu and clicked to open it as shown in the pictures below.
Download and Install Linux from Windows Market
10. All done! You are now ready to use your Linux inside Windows Environment.

I hope I have made it easy to understand. Please feel free to ask any questions.

 I was using Windows 10 Pro on my Dell Latitude 3340 Laptop but due to some work requirement I needed to install Ubuntu 22.04, details to is available in my earlier blog-post " Dual Boot Windows and Ubuntu (Solved) ". After the installation, the default OS in boot menu displayed by GRUB 2 is Ubuntu which sometimes irritates as most of my work is being handled in the Windows environment, moreover, i wanted to change the delay time from 30 seconds to 10 seconds in order to avoid further unnecessary delay. So, as usual, i went across the google and watched multiple videos and blogs in order to see the correct method of solving my problem.
