[SOLVED] How can I install Docker on Windows 10 Home?

Issue

I knew that docker won't work on windows 10 home edition. It will work in windows 10 pro or enterprise as it need hyper v and it is available in these two. But I found some script for hyper v and able to install and enable hyper v in window 10 home. So is it better to install ubuntu as a virtual environment and install docker over there. or the windows 10 home with hyper v enabled will be good enough to install docker. Please help me to understand this.

Thanks.

Solution

Docker does work on Windows 10 home (I'm using it now).

Install Docker Desktop (wsl2 integration will be disabled)

Install wsl 2.0

Restart.

Install your distro of choice through the Microsoft Store (I used Ubuntu).

Initialise Ubuntu and configure your user account.

If you run Docker in Ubuntu at this point you'll see a request to integrate with wsl2, open the Docker Desktop settings and enable integration with WSL2 for your linux distribution.
