Install docker desktop
Set it to work with WSL2 (suppose to be the default)
Then the rest of the process is the same

It's best to create a new post instead of posting in an old thread by someone else

Docker Desktop would not be possible on Windows Server 2019, but you can install the Docker Engine and use it

I guess that with docker desktop it uses the underlying wsl2, but even with an ubuntu installed on the machine it does still throw the same error.

You'll need to switch to the Linux containers mode

Here's how you can do that

You can use something like portainer instead of docker desktop too
