Docker for Windows with WSL2

[patricia-patricia]

Below are some issues encountered during installation when using Docker for Windows with WSL2

1. Memory issue - vmmem consumes to much RAM

• go to c:\users*your your profile name* and creating a .wslconfig

[wsl2]
memory=4GB # Limits VM memory in WSL 2 to 4 GB
processors=5 # Makes the WSL 2 VM use two virtual processors

• Go to powershell

Restart-Service LxssManager

2. Containers and Images won't appear - docker starting forever

This is because verify that the Virtual Machine Management service on the computer is running.

• Open "Window Security"
• Open "App & Browser control"
• Click "Exploit protection settings" at the bottom
• Switch to "Program settings" tab
• Locate "C:\WINDOWS\System32\vmcompute.exe" in the list and expand it
• Click "Edit"
• Scroll down to "Code flow guard (CFG)" and uncheck "Override system settings"
• Start vmcompute from powershell
• net start vmcompute

3. Error running CAE service

• install dos2unix
• modify dockerfile
• RUN dos2unix for .sh file
