I gave up on Docker for a good while as it wasn’t stable on my Windows 10 Home version - I found that a lot of ‘Windows 10 Professional’ functionality could be activated on the ‘Home’ version without having to upgrade (Hyper V for example) so I have a feeling that’s what is likely to have caused it.
Anyway, I started the excellent video tutorials that have just been released for Wappler, they show a Docker install from the start so I decided to try again with it.
Reason for this post is I found a great resource that shows step by step exactly what needs to be done to get a stable install into Win 10 Home (2004) so I thought I’d post it here in cas it helps anyone else out.
George, I was struggling with my Docker Desktop in Windows 10. Simple projects worked very slow. First I thought it was just my old laptop to blame. But later I realized it is a memory issue. After I limited it, it becomes quite possible to work with Docker.
I understand that it maybe obvious for tech guys, but I think many new wapplers will not be able to find the right solution.
So my suggestion: instruction on how to limit memory must be included in documentation on Docker or even in Wappler itself. Maybe create .wslconfig automatically if possible.
Just a thought.
Good point indeed. You also don’t need to run Docker all the time. Only when you use a project with it and Wappler even will auto start it when needed.
