Using this config on WSL via RDP

It is even possible to use WSL and RDP to connect to your WSL instance. For this I'd recommend to install xrdp via

sudo apt-get install xrdp

Then run the following to set-up your xrdp config:

sudo cp /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini.bak
sudo sed -i 's/3389/3390/g' /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini
sudo sed -i 's/max_bpp=32/#max_bpp=32\nmax_bpp=128/g' /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini
sudo sed -i 's/xserverbpp=24/#xserverbpp=24\nxserverbpp=128/g' /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini

Then change the /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh file

#!/bin/sh
if [ -r /etc/default/locale ]; then
. /etc/default/locale
export LANG LANGUAGE
fi
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
/usr/bin/i3

And restart the xrdp service via init.d (e.g. sudo /etc/init.d/xrdp restart)

Now you should be able to connect via the Windows RDP tool on localhost:3390
