Following the official documentation I have installed Docker but it is not starting. I'm running Microsoft's Ubuntu image for WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux), fully updated.

https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/

Since the distribution is not started with systemd I have to start Docker manually:

service docker start

However Docker is not starting:

pomatti@NT-03024:/mnt/c/Users/evandro.pomatti.HBSISNET$ sudo service docker start
 * Starting Docker: docker [ OK ]
pomatti@NT-03024:/mnt/c/Users/evandro.pomatti.HBSISNET$ sudo service docker status
 * Docker is not running

I did run this procedure plenty of times on Linux and it always worked, but I don't know where to start in the WSL2 environment.

    Step One: Use Docker for Windows. If you really don't want to use that check out logs to figure out why Docker isn't coming up.

I've abandoned running Docker on the VM to just use it via Windows as the comments instructed me. It builds up for a better experience.
