Hello, when i am using WSL2, the setup is painfully slow. It even runs into timeouts. Compared to this, my working WSL1 is much faster. I am using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, installed docker-compose and dockerForWindows is setup to use WSL2, has experimental Features on, as well as "buildkit". The sourcecode is not hosted inside the WSL-Machine. So what am i doing wrong here?

what are the specs of your machine?

i7-8850H, 32GB, Win10 Pro 2004 - 19041.508 WSL receives 12GB and 8 cores, no swap The sourcecode is accessed by /mnt/d/....

By setup you mean

docker/sdk up

?

yes. Composer is really slow and comparing the NodsJS-Installing i can see, that WSL2 is 10x slower than WSL1 and thus runs in to multiple timeouts Even the setup of the containers gets stuck, because docker-compose is not found anymore oO

that is odd. I have experienced some very strange behavior with docker for desktop though, too. What has helped in the past is using absolute latest docker for desktop. Edge Version

hm... i haven't used the edge version yet... i can give it a try...

It not always helps, and i have not seen the problems you are having, yet, but it has sorted out some problems in the past. Might be worth a try

wouldn't that also interfer with the wsl1 setup?

AV related issues are pretty much a black box and i have seen all kinds of strange things happening that nobody could explain.

yep

i can confirm though, that this is not a general issue, since wls2 + docker runs well on my machine

and i am one of the "lucky"-ones, that can use WSL1 😂

never got WSL1 to work on my machine, so yes, you are lucky, indeed 🙂

hm... AV is silent and doesn't do anything... but i also got a small container running with windows-cmd and not an wsl-machine and it seems... i have general problems with wsl2 😞

This general problem with wsl2: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4197

so the solution could be opening project from

\\wsl$

drive (which exists inside Linux) In this case the application will work on the full speed, but PhpStorm will work with the files using network file system, which is OK.
