Running Docker on WSL2 the right way

• Docker Compose

  390 32,471 9.6 Go

  Define and run multi-container applications with Docker

  

# Finds the latest version $ compose_version=$(curl -fsSL -o /dev/null -w "%{url_effective}" https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest) # Downloads the binary to the plugins folder $ curl -fL --create-dirs -o ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose \ "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/${compose_version}/docker-compose-linux-$(uname -m)" # Assigns execution permission to it $ chmod +x ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose

• switch

  1 - -

# Finds the latest version $ switch_version=$(curl -fsSL -o /dev/null -w "%{url_effective}" https://github.com/docker/switch/releases/latest) # Downloads the binary $ sudo curl -fL -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose \ "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/${switch_version}/docker-compose-linux-$(dpkg --print-architecture)" # Assigns execution permission to it $ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

• docker-credential-helpers

  2 1,020 6.6 Go

  Programs to keep Docker login credentials safe by storing in platform keystores

  

# Finds the latest version $ wincred_version=$(curl -fsSL -o /dev/null -w "%{url_effective}" https://github.com/docker/docker-credential-helpers/releases/latest) # Downloads and extracts the .exe $ sudo curl -fL \ "https://github.com/docker/docker-credential-helpers/releases/download/${wincred_version}/docker-credential-wincred-${wincred_version}-$(dpkg --print-architecture).zip" | zcat | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/docker-credential-wincred.exe >/dev/null # Assigns execution permission to it $ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-credential-wincred.exe

• kind

  183 12,818 8.9 Go

  Kubernetes IN Docker - local clusters for testing Kubernetes

  

The entire setup process may take some time, but you will have achieved almost everything that Docker Desktop used to provide to you (by the way, I use kind as an alternative to Docker Desktop's built-in K8s).

• dotfiles

  2 247 7.7 Shell

  Bootstrap your Ubuntu in a single command! (by felipecrs)

For example, in my dotfiles, every single of these steps are automated, including configuring /etc/docker/daemon.json, changing ~/.profile, and even providing a way to automatically update your extra binaries (docker-compose, or the wincred.exe) every time you update your dotfiles (by using a feature of chezmoi - a dotfiles manager which I totally recommend).
