curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg

echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian \
  $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Exit Debian and shutdown WSL

exit
wsl --shutdown

Start WSL2 Debian and start Docker daemon

wsl
nohup sudo -b dockerd < /dev/null > /home/samuel/dockerd.log 2>&1

you can put that nohup command whereever you want (e.g. .bashrc)

Or you use the new systemd feature of wsl

cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/wsl.conf
[boot]
systemd=true
EOF
