I couldn’t get Docker to run with WSL backend on a freshly installed Windows 11 Pro, a very common use case. I’m not sure if they even test their own software.

- proxysna 3y agoWindows and WSL are a mess. Run docker on Linux instead. There is no reason to run docker on windows, except if you are planning to build windows containers.
- JoBrad 3y agoIf you're a Windows user, running Docker in WSL _is_ running it in Linux.
- proxysna 3y agoYes, Linux wrapped into countless unnecessary abstraction layers.
- naasking 3y agoIncorrect. Portable .NET development natively uses Docker. Works pretty seamlessly with Visual Studio actually, though slower than I'd like.
- taberiand 3y agoFunny that, WSL2 on Windows 11 with Linux containers works nearly perfectly for me (I think the only thing that'd make it better is another 8 GB or so of RAM), with using devcontainers, building images and running Docker compose - it's the Windows containers that cause the trouble, mostly with networking
- JoBrad 3y agoYou could just opt for the regular Docker for Windows approach, instead. Although I honestly only ran Docker in WSL on Windows, but haven't tried with Windows 11.
