Enable TCP port 2375 for external connection to Docker

See this issue.
Docker best practise to Control and configure Docker with systemd.

1. Create daemon.json file in /etc/docker:

    {"hosts": ["tcp://0.0.0.0:2375", "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"]}
   

2. Add /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/override.conf

    [Service]
    ExecStart=
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd
   

3. Reload the systemd daemon:

    systemctl daemon-reload
   

4. Restart docker:

    systemctl restart docker.service
   

When i try to build the image be means of the BuildImage command, i am getting the

Connect to http://127.0.0.1:2375 [/127.0.0.1] failed: Connection refused: no further information

Apparently Gradle does not make match with the WSL platform IP.

thanks a lot

Great job
Thanks

@abel-delafuente tcp not http
you could also try to use a unix socket instead and test again to make sure if it's a docker behavior or a network restriction

Any instructions regarding this manual?
In point one, I am supposed to create a file in the location and I guess add the quoted content to it.
In point two what should I add and where?

It seems to me that if I paste this into the file above, it won't work.
/etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/override.conf
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd
