That's exactly what I ended up concluding as well when I tried switching to WSL 2 because it added too much friction to the DX, whereas Docker Compose and the Docker VSCode extension kept things simple and scoped.
I didn't even keep WSL 2 as Docker engine because it doesn't forward filechange events from shared folders (which breaks livereload / watch mode), ended up going back to Hyper-V and it does exactly what I need.
- sime2009 6y agoI tried to use Windows Docker with the WSL2 back-end and the impression I got was that it was for people wanting to run scripts on windows which then run docker things. What I just wanted was scripts running on Linux which then did docker things. The whole mix of two operating systems was just complexity and problem I didn't want. I just run vanilla docker inside a Linux VM and everything works as expected now.
