Hi, has anyone tried to setup prefect 2 agent on WSL with systemd service? Looks like it is not properly supported. If so, any suggestions how to make the worker more stable?

as in - apart from spinning it up to test

Some of the tasks only work within internal network configuration

wsl is hit or miss with many things, can you not run a dedicated linux box internally?

In the ideal world, yes. But I'm not in this world

The issue is that prefect 2 agent keeps failing, so it is bit of a stretch to have a dedicated linux server only because of it

I'd personally use vmware player if I had to rely on it - wsl has too many pain points
