Goal:
Have docker run on WSL
A little hiccup on download
So we have two distros running on wsl at the same time. Both isolated running in parallel.
I've learned that "Docker Desktop runs Docker Daemon(server) inside its own hidden minimal WSL 2 distribution(called docker-desktop)"-chatgpt(yes its time we quote AI lol)
fix
but what happened under the hood 🧐
you would not be reading this blog if the above statement doesn't keep you up at night.
symlinks!... to the rescue, once again! we've touched on these in my previous post.
upon toggling WSL Integration on for Ubuntu-24.04 Docker Desktop which adds a symlink named docker inside my /usr/bin/ that points to Docker Desktop's CLI tools running in the background.
what's next?
Containerize our next.js app!
