Steps to Urbit on Docker Desktop for Windows

Why Docker Desktop?

  • It can start urbit automatically in the background each time you login to windows
  • Has a gui to turn urbit on/off if you don't want it running all the time
  • Sets up port forwarding to your host device's ip, which plain wsl makes difficult. So you can access landscape from other devices on your lan, or forward ports to your router to get external access
  • Automatic updates to the urbit binary
