normally you use docker cli in your host os and it uses the sock to send it to the alpine instance?

I had been able to use it from my Windows host and from my Ubuntu WSL instance but this past week it's telling me that the docker command can't be found after I have been using it for months. It does have kubectl and helm commands though

odd, sounds like a path problem

Maybe I can symlink and from the windows host

for your windows it should be in the appdata\local path and you check-off WSL integration for it to work with your Ubuntu

FWIW, we ship the Linux version of the tools too, and add it to your (Windows) `PATH`; normally WSL distros are set up to also use the Windows

PATH

, so it gets picked up, but if you edited your

/etc/wsl.conf

to tell it to not do that you won't find the tools.

I don't have a wsl.conf in WSL at /etc/wsl.conf but I did recently create one on the windows side to limit the ram use to 8GB. That is the only thing declared in it though. Is it possible that without explicitly allowing it now that it is created it I may have exluded those paths?
