Install Docker on Windows local machines
From what I can tell, Docker and PowerShell runs together to get Docker containers running.
Step 1
First up is to make sure that virtualization is enabled in the bios. Do that now.
...I'm waiting...
install WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
Now, install WSL using PowerShell
wsl --install
To see a list of available Linux distributions available for download through the online store, enter:
wsl --list --online
To change the distribution installed, enter: wsl --install -d <Distribution Name>
wsl --install -d Ubuntu
You should now have a live Ubunu intense running.
You can now roam around Linux like a bad boy but, you can just leave it along for now because, you dont need it yet.
Install Docker
Download docker here and then, install it.
Note: It might make u restart or, log out from here. Close all your shee-it and... do it. when you log back into windows, it should open up to the newly installed window for docker.
Now you are done and can do what you want it it. Start a new docker compose and run it?
