A complete walkthrough getting Docker Desktop configured to use WSL2 as its backend, integrating specific distros, and verifying containers actually run using WSL2's real Linux kernel rather than a separate VM.
Docker Desktop configured to use the WSL2 backend suddenly can't see your distro, or containers fail to start with confusing errors. Here's how to work through the specific integration points that commonly break.
How multi-stage builds, distroless base images, and layer discipline combine to produce smaller, more secure container images without sacrificing developer ergonomics.
How Podman's daemon-less, fork-exec architecture differs from Docker's client-daemon model, and what that means for rootless containers in production.
At PyCon on March 15, 2013, dotCloud co-founder Solomon Hykes introduced Docker to the world, ahead of the company's later pivot to focus on it entirely.
On October 29, 2013, dotCloud announced it was scaling back its original PaaS business and renaming the company entirely around its container tooling.
Docker builds and pulls start failing with ENOSPC, even though the host's regular disk usage doesn't look that high. Docker's own storage accumulates in places df alone won't clearly show you.
