Issue with setting up docker on WSL in Windows 10 Home












0















I am trying to setup docker through WSL(ubuntu) on Windows 10 Home but ran into an issue when trying to use the docker-compose up command:



$ docker-compose up
ERROR: Couldn't connect to Docker daemon at http://localhost:2375 - is it running?


I have the following configuration in my ~/.bashrc file



#Insert new Path for Docker and Alias

PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

PATH="$PATH:/mnt/c/Program Files/Docker Toolbox"

alias docker=docker.exe

alias docker-machine=docker-machine.exe

// Other code

export DOCKER_HOST='tcp://localhost:2375'


docker-machine seems to be running fine as the docker ps command shows a list of containers.



From my research, if I were to use Docker for Windows (which does not run on Windows Home) ; I need to turn on the “Expose daemon on tcp://localhost:2375 without TLS” option in the settings. Since I am using “Docker Toolbox + VirtualBox”, I would like to ask what would be the equivalent?



Please let me know if you require further information.
