In order to deploy things and use docker from INSIDE wsl2

on windows, run the following command:

docker run -d --name unix-connect --restart=always -p 127.0.0.1:23750:2375 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock  alpine/socat  tcp-listen:2375,fork,reuseaddr unix-connect:/var/run/docker.sock

Then, add this line at the end of your .zshrc or .bashrc file:

export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://127.0.0.1:23750

Launch a new terminal or source the file we updated, and now you should see your containers when running docker ps inside wsl2
