Question
I believe I'm either missing a key bit of info, or trying to do something that is not supported.
My goal is to have a WoA docker container where I can install development tools I don't want on my laptop. My laptop is a WoA machine (MS Surface X), running windows 11, Docker desktop version 4.40.0 (187762). (More details below.)
I've tried the install starting both from windows, and from wsl (ubuntu). In both cases, after downloading the image, the container terminates due to lack of /dev/kvm. I've tried:
- commenting out
/dev/kvmin the compose file, which leads to a different error message. - manually installing
qemu-kvm, which does not create a/dev/kvmdevice. - I've seen instructions on building a custom wsl2 kernel that would (possibly) allow creating the
/dev/kvmdevice, but that requires more ongoing support than I'd like.
In other (technical) issues, I've seen reference to "setting kvm to no", but I haven't a clue how to do that, nor found docs on that.
I do have a raspberry pi 5 I could deploy the docker image on, but I would prefer the laptop solution. Is it possible to do on a Surface X, or should I go the raspberry pi route?
Thanks!
