I do have one question though. My understanding of the inner-workings of WSL is still rudimentary. Why do we place the docker socket in the \mnt\wsl folder? What is the significance of \mnt\wsl?
Hey Derek, I believe the \mnt\wsl location is chosen so multiple Linux installations can share the same docker daemon. If you only run one it doesn't hurt, but you could use Docker's default location, /var/run/docker/containerd/containerd.sock
What an excellent write-up. Thank you!
