The project is now lindowin (formerly wsl-docker-engine). Old links redirect.

New

  • Windows Server and Server Core. Detected automatically. Docker starts at boot, without anyone signing in. Use -Server to get that on a PC.
  • Published ports work like on Linux. 80:80 is reachable from your network, 127.0.0.1:80:80 only from your PC, TCP and UDP. Firewall rules open when a container starts and close when it stops.
  • Automatic networking. Uses WSL mirrored networking, and falls back to port forwarding by itself if mirrored breaks internet (some VPNs).
  • docker-users group, like Docker Desktop: add other users who should run docker.
  • One admin prompt at install time, none afterwards.

Upgrade: run the installer again:
