Windows 10: Using WSL2 with Docker Desktop

Up until a couple months ago I was able to use Docker Desktop and WSL2 to run Kubernetes WITHOUT having a Linux distro on my dev system. During that 2 month period of time I did not do development of services in K8s and did not even start Docker Desktop.Now I am ready to start developing services that run in K8s which is hosted on Docker Desktop, with no Linux distro just as I did previously. But K8s does not start. No matter what kinds of remedies I try, K8s will not start.I am wondering if something changed and now I need to use a Linux distro? Is this question within the scope of this f

Can't connect to Windows network services from WSL2

I have Ubuntu 18.04 running in WSL2, from which I want to connect to Docker Desktop running on Windows.

From cmd.exe I see that Docker service is listening on 127.0.0.1:2375:

Code:

C:\Windows\System32>curl 127.0.0.1:2375/info{"ID":"Z2IX:WLIX:FT2V:ZQYY:6222:M6Y6:EGZW:6D2G:EGVY:YABG:VYUM:MB2A","Containers":6,"ContainersRunning":2,"ContainersPaused":0...

But in WSL2, I got this output by `docker info`:

`ERROR: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at tcp://127.0.0.1:2375. Is the docker daemon running?`

No connection to 127.0.0.1:2375 from WLS2:

Code:

$ curl 127.0.0.1:2375curl: (7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 2375: Connection refused

The option "Expose daemon on tcp://localhost:2375 without TLS" is ticked.

 

WSL2 for windows

I have failed into installing WSL for Windows. I have read here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win.../install-win10 how to do it, and at step 4:

1. Download the latest package:
   
   • WSL2 Linux kernel update package for x64 machines
   [COLOR=var(--text)][COLOR=var(--info-dark)] Note[/COLOR]
   If you're using an ARM64 machine, please download the ARM64 package instead. If you're not sure what kind of machine you have, open Command Prompt or PowerShell and enter: systeminfo | find "System Type".
   [/COLOR]
   
2. Run the update package downloaded in the previous step. (Double-click to run - you will be prompted for elevated permissions, select ‘yes’ to approve this installation.)

I encountered:

What I did wrong ? I have the following W10 version:




Another question: am I in the the right forum ?
