Research direction
The issue identifies a Docker command and the tcp://localhost:2375 endpoint, but names no repository files, tests, or implementation entry point. Start by checking the reported Docker Desktop and WSL connection setup; done would require a documented or verified resolution for connecting to the daemon.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
I am experiencing difficulties establishing a connection with the Docker Desktop daemon on Windows from WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). I attempted to connect using the address tcp://localhost:2375, but encountered the following error:
docker -H tcp://localhost:2375 version
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at tcp://localhost:2375. Is the docker daemon running?
Steps Taken:
Ensured Docker Desktop is running on Windows.
Attempted connection using tcp://localhost:2375 from WSL.
Received the mentioned error indicating a failure to connect to the Docker daemon.
I would appreciate any guidance or insights on resolving this connectivity issue between WSL and Docker Desktop on Windows.
