Working on the quickstart.... I already have docker desktop installed on my windows computer and it is running. I've run steps to install datahub in my python environment. When I try and run "datahub docker quickstart" I get the following error. Any thoughts on what is wrong here? Thanks!

@dry-policeman-74195: I don’t think you pasted the right screenshot
don’t see the error
d
sorry! Here is the rest of it. Thanks!

ah I believe this is a known issue with WSL and docker
there is a specific file that needs to be chmod 777-ed
let me try to dig up that message
@dry-policeman-74195 try this:
sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock
thank you 1
We’ll fix up the quickstart docs for this (after you confirm this works)

Since I'm on a windows machine, in a windows terminal, sudo isn't recognized.
I also tried it after disabling WSL in docker desktop and that didn't work either. Still looking.
Just learned a lot about WSL. but not enough. Where will the /var/run/docker.sock file live under a WSL distro? I'm trying to use the default docker-desktop distro for this but I'm not having any luck. I also installed an Ubuntu distro and conversted it to WSL2 but I'm not sure I actually need to go down that path.

ah… I just naturally assumed you are running Ubuntu distro in WSL
d
I've now made Ubuntu the default distro for wsl, Run the command above in the Ubuntu terminal (obtained via wsl -d Ubuntu) and I'm still getting the same results.
Is there a more straightforward way to get datahub running? I hate that these things it depends on aren't playing nicely with me and preventing my POC. Thanks so much for your help @mammoth-bear-12532

I know that there are quite a few people in the community running datahub on windows laptops… unfortunately I don’t… maybe folks like @crooked-toddler-8683 can help

@dry-policeman-74195 I'm not sure if this is acceptable in your environment, but could you install VirtualBox (or the hypervisor of your choice), stand up an Ubuntu VM and do the POC inside that?
d
Possibly. Thanks for the suggestion!
