"Windows Hypervisor Platform" was never a requirement, as I understand from the documentation specific for Docker on WSL2. I am currently running Docker on my Windows 10 Home laptop without the "Windows Hypervisor Platform".

Amazing. I love it. A very educational tutorial as always David. How amazingly things you can do with today's technology and thanks for the knowledge sharing us usual. Cheers David
Thank you for a very clear and concise explanation of the process from end to end. As somebody who is brand new to wsl2, docker and dev containers.....this was extremely straightforward.
Just came across your channel David. You're method of explanation is absolutely unparalleled. I am a newb to the Linux world but my occupation requires I learn it. I look forward to see many more of your wonderful videos.
Why, oh why, would anyone give this video a thumbs-down? David's videos on WSL are some of the best on TH-cam. Great work. I tried WSL1 and did a little with it but after hearing about WSL2 I went back to my Linux box. Now, with WSL2 I am moving my docker containers from my Linux box to Windows--thanks to your help. Thank you, David.
Awesome ................ Ur voice reminds me of the Biblical David. U have been gifted with a fantastic voice ....... Its dominating and judgemental. I had an issue of running docker on WSL1. I have shed tears of blood doing all sorts of hacks. I have seen both ur videos ............ WSL2 installation & setting up docker on WSL2.

It was all well until 5:19. I don't have an option to start Ubuntu, so I guess there was some step missing? What do I need to install or run in order to have Ubuntu show up in my start menu?
Hi David, @ 2.13 in the video , you mention about selecting 'Windows Hypervisor Platform'. Should that have been "Virtual Machine Platform" ? I saw this video immediately after your WSL2 : Getting Started video. BTW - Thanks for making these videos - you make it easier to understand.
Thanks a lot for the thorough tutorial. I got a permission denied at 7:45 and used "sudo" to fix it: sudo docker run -d -p 80:80 docker/getting-started
David you are so good ...please keep the good work up...also wold you mind making some more videos on docker with WSL2.. may be add kubernetes too :) if not asking too much
Sir how to 8080 security group in wsl ubuntu nd I did nd i try to access that container but security issue hostname -i give ip address with that nd :8080 i accesd didn't connected 😢
Excellent video David. You got a new subscriber. I followed the steps but got stuck in the Resources section of Docker Desktop. It says "You don't have any WSL 2 distro". But I installed Ubuntu 20.04 checked it was WSL 2 with power shell and ran some sample commands. The only difference in the process is that I installed Docker in my normal user and have to run it as an administrator to make it work. Thank you in advance.
1. you only need version 1903 or higher now 2. the features need to enable are Windows Subsystem for Linux and Virtual Machine Platform. not windows hypervisor platform (make sense, this is docker on wsl not docker on windows) 3. now dock will enable hyper-v itself during the install
Thank you so much. Your video basically solved all my questions. So straightforward and easy to understand. You should go teach in Udemy and I will buy you course.
Hey, David, really a great video! I hope your next video can introduce how to use nvidia-docker in WSL2. It would be really helpful for who need use Nvidia GPU in docker on Windows!
Thank you for the recommendation. Microsoft documentation: "Can I access the GPU in WSL 2? Are there plans to increase hardware support? In initial releases of WSL 2 hardware access support will be limited, e.g: you will be unable to access the GPU, serial or USB devices. However, adding better device support is high on our backlog, as this opens many more use cases for developers that wish to interact with these devices. In the meantime, you can always use WSL 1 which has serial port access.

Fantastic video. Thank you for helping to make this whole process more understandable. I was wondering if you would are planning to make (or have already made) a video explaining how to allow docker containers running within WSL to access files in the host system? e.g. having an instance of Plex/emby/jellyfin access the files I have stored on a local external drive.

Hi, David! Sorry if you had mentioned it before. It seems that older versions of VMware and virtual box are incompatible with WSL 2. haven’t tested virtualbox yet but upgrading to VMware workstation 15.5.6 has fixed the issue.

btw you can't go further more than 3. Cause you cannot run another Ubuntu inside a Ubuntu container running on docker.

At 3:52 of video you said "Windows Home doesn't support Hyper-V", but why at 2:13 you said the Windows Hypervisor Platform is needed?
Thanks for sharing, Uncle David!
