CPU |
Minimum: 2 Recommended 4+ |
Disk Space |
5 GB for internal requirements. The amount of additional disk space soloemnly depends on you intended use. |
Since Docker uses hypervisor the host NEEDS TO HAVE VIRTUALIZATION ENABLED! |

-
Download Docker Desktop Stable 2.3.0.2 or a later release.
-
Install
Ensure you have completed the steps described in the Prerequisites section before installing the Docker Desktop Stable 2.3.0.2 release.
Follow the usual installation instructions to install Docker Desktop. If you are running a supported system, Docker Desktop prompts you to enable WSL 2 during installation. Read the information displayed on the screen and enable WSL 2 to continue.
-
Start Docker Desktop from the Windows Start menu.
From the Docker menu, select menu:Settings[General]
-
Select the Use WSL 2 based engine check box.
If you have installed Docker Desktop on a system that supports WSL 2, this option will be enabled by default.
Click Apply & Restart.
-
Ensure the distribution runs in WSL 2 mode. WSL can run distributions in both v1 or v2 mode.
To check the WSL mode, run:
wsl.exe -l -v
To upgrade your existing Linux distro to v2, run:
wsl.exe --set-version (distro name) 2
To set v2 as the default version for future installations, run:
wsl.exe --set-default-version 2
When Docker Desktop restarts, go to menu:Settings[Resources > WSL Integration]
-
WSL 2 Choose Linux distro
Click Apply & Restart.
The Docker-WSL integration will be enabled on your default WSL distribution.
-
To change your default WSL distro, run
wsl --set-default <distro name>.
For example, to set Ubuntu as your default WSL distro, run wsl --set-default ubuntu. Optionally, select any additional distributions you would like to enable the Docker-WSL integration on. The Docker-WSL integration components running in your distro depend on glibc. This can cause issues when running musl-based distros such as Alpine Linux. Alpine users can use the alpine-pkg-glibc package to deploy glibc alongside musl to run the integration. |
