WSL2 with Docker Engine

WSL2 provides a lightweight Linux environment without the need for a full VM Steps: Open PowerShell (Admin) and run:

• Check if WSL is enabled

wsl --list --verbose

Note: If WSL is not installed, proceed to the next step else skip next step.

• Install WSL2 and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

   wsl --install -d Ubuntu-22.04

• If WSL is already installed, ensure it's set to version 2

wsl --set-default-version 2

• Install Docker Engine inside WSL

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y docker.io

• Start and enable Docker

sudo systemctl enable --now docker

• Add your user to the Docker group

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

• Test Docker

docker run hello-world

Enjoy!, Now you have Docker running inside WSL2 without Docker Desktop!
