  • Use WSL2 instead of HyperV
• Agree CGV
• May need a reboot for updating Linux kernel
• Will appear an additionnal set up
• Finish this set up and its done

Docker Desktop Tweaks

• Can login to DockerHub for pulls images
• Go Task Bar -> Right Click on Docker -> Settings

  • WSL Integration : accept this
    • Enable integration with my default WSL distro
  • Plus, in this menu you have to enable Docker for each subsystem you want

Problems when installing

An unexpected error occured

Linux

sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release

• Go to Preferences -> Resources -> Advanced

  • Allow you to manage some resources allowed to Docker (CPU, RAM, Disk ...)

• Go to Preferences -> Resources -> Sharing

  • Care on the path able to share with Docker containers. You want that your source code is inside those path to not get error later ad-warning
