This is a very simple shim for docker.exe and docker-compose.exe that allows using docker in wsl without Docker Desktop.

Manually install docker in WSL2, make sure it works inside the linux system, and then you can use this commands in windows as if docker was running with Docker for Desktop.

This command uses only default WSL instance. To change that, simply assign desired name to defaultDistro.

It should take care of path substitutions, e. g. changing

• \\wsl$\system-name\var\opt to /var/opt (ony if system-name is the defaultDistro)
• C:/Users/username/Desktop to /mnt/c/Users/username/Desktop. It cals wsl wslpath to do this

Build:

go.exe build -o out\docker.exe docker.go helper.go
go.exe build -o out\docker-compose.exe docker-compose.go helper.go
