Has anyone else had an issue where installing the latest Docker Desktop for Windows in WSL 2 mode doesn’t actually do anything to the default distro? I can run docker from PowerShell, but even though I even forced it in my only (and default) distro at the time (Ubuntu), I cannot run docker from that distro.
I’m new to Docker on WSL but followed every direction exactly and it doesn’t seem to work. Here are some images of what I’ve done and see. I’m sure I set something up incorrectly, but followed everything I found.
es. I couldn’t attach two images (since I’m new to the forums) but they show up. I can run stuff from PowerShell, but not from inside Ubuntu. According to the doc it should allow me to run inside Ubuntu, but it does not (or the doc is wrong). Y
While I am still learning the details of how WSL 2 and Docker for Windows integrates I may have this wrong so take with a grain of salt.
When I use Ubuntu started from WSL I don’t think of it as another OS from which to run Docker Containers, I think of it as a Docker container running Ubuntu. So if I understand what you are asking, to me it translates into wanting to run a Docker container inside of a Docker container.
Also all of the learning I am doing with WSL 2 and Docker for Windows has to do with using it for development with Visual Studio Code, which has quite a but of useful information and working examples and tutorials. Containers, Remote development which can also work with remote Docker containers but I have not worked up to those examples yet, and the one I am really interested in is Create a development container (Link in next post).
Also ran into a new user limit of 2 links. Odd thing is that I am an admin on another Discourse forum so really do not like being treated like a newbie.
