Windows System on Linus (WSL)

Run Docker

On Windows, configure Docker to use TCP connection instead of named pipes.

Install WSL https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install
Run commands

wsl --update
wsl --set-default-version 2
wsl --install --distribution Ubuntu

Run Ubuntu WSL and install Docker

sudo apt --yes update
sudo apt --yes upgrade
sudo apt --yes autoclean
sudo apt --yes autoremove
sudo apt --yes install docker docker-compose

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
echo "$USER ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/dockerd" > /tmp/docker-sudoers
sudo bash -c 'cat /tmp/docker-sudoers >> /etc/sudoers'
rm /tmp/docker-sudoers

sudo bash -c 'echo "{ \"hosts\": [\"unix:///var/run/docker.sock\", \"tcp://0.0.0.0:2375\"] }" > /etc/docker/daemon.json'

Edit Docker configuration in Ubuntu WLS

$ cat /etc/docker/daemon.json
{ "hosts": ["unix:///var/run/docker.sock", "tcp://0.0.0.0:2375"],
  "dns": ["8.8.8.8", "9.9.9.9"]
}

Configure Windows commands to run Docker in Ubuntu WSL
```
C:\Windows\system32\docker.bat

@echo off
wsl docker %*
```
```
C:\Windows\system32\docker-compose.bat

@echo off
wsl docker-compose %*
```
This path C:\Windows\system32\ should already be in PATH environment variable
Configure Windows environment variable

DOCKER_WSL_ROOT_PATH /mnt/c

Point it to the drive where Docker containers are located. - Copy Docker config folder from Ubuntu WSL to Windows - From: \\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\<your username>\.docker - To: C:\Users\<your username>\.docker

To connect to Docker get WSL IP address to Windows environment
```
wsl hostname -I
```
- Create Windows environment variables with first IP addresses outpue in this command
```
DOCKER_HOST tcp://172.24.93.16:2375
```
Start Docker in Ubuntu WSL
```
sudo dockerd
```
