Actually when you install WSL in Windows 11, WSL2 is selected by default.
First update your packages
sudo apt-get update
Then install the docker community edition and it's related packages
sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
add your user to the docker group
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
Then restart your terminal.
Then run dummy container called hello-world which is non-existence.
docker run hello-world
You will likely to see
Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
This is because DNS blocks the Dockers. So use this command
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf
Then run this command again.
docker run hello-world
Then you might see something like
Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: failed to resolve reference "docker.io/library/hello-world:latest": failed to authorize: failed to fetch anonymous token: Get "https://auth.docker.io/token?scope=repository%3Alibrary%2Fhello-world%3Apull&service=registry.docker.io": net/http: TLS handshake timeout
Don't worry it's easy. It's because of the MTU size. WSL use the Virtual Switch and it's Maximum Transmission unit is so big that the connection was timeout. So make it lower. We will set it to 1400
sudo ip link set dev eth0 mtu 1400
Then we will run the command again
docker run hello-world
Viola!
