add to documentation: GPU on Docker Desktop - only for WSL

[cunicode]

After many unsuccessful attempts to enable GPU in my linux setup, I realised that GPU support on Docker Desktop is only for WSL.

Currently GPU support in Docker Desktop is only available on Windows with the WSL2 backend.

Shall we add a note to the docs?

Our docs cover this: "Only Linux and Windows (through WSL2) servers are supported"

I think there are some nuances like Docker on macOS and Hyper-V vs WSL2 on Windows that could use more clarification. The line about only Linux and Windows being supported is also kinda misleading since it works on macOS too.

Oh and for reference, GPU support is totally there for Linux. You're misreading the note in the Docker article: on Windows, GPU support requires WSL2.

I feel the sentence is misleading, or I'm reading it wrong

what I read here is:
Only Linux and Windows (through WSL2) servers are supported

• on linux = OK
• Windows (through WSL2) servers are supported = OK

but my experience is:

• in linux via docker engine = OK it works
• in linux via docker desktop = not work (as per docker docs: "Currently GPU support in Docker Desktop is only available on Windows with the WSL2 backend."

I guess my question is: does anyone managed to make immich GPU work in docker desktop linux?

There's no reason to use docker desktop on linux
