Just tried getting docker with wsl + Ubuntu to work on windows 10 yesterday, and it was a horrible, horrible experience.
Couldn't get it to work in the end.
Made me realise how peaceful macOS with brew really is.
Even getting zsh to work with hyper properly was super painful. If you ask me Linux on windows is not usable yet.
Checkback in an year?

I got the docker client working for windows in just a few keystrokes last night.

- tracker1 7y agoWSL2 should be available soon and will be a better experience... I've just been running Docker for Windows and using the bash that comes with Git for Windows. It is not great, but the best option(s) I've used so far. edit: current Docker for Windows does not use REAL volume mounts, don't use it for any live databases in containers, it's good enough for a backup target volume, but live data is too fidgety.
