Container Image build on WSL?

[divital-coder]

Hi there, i am trying to build the docker image on a windows subsystem for linux based environment, and while trying to build the image using the mentioned commands under usage, in "readme.md" , the second command stating "sudo docker compose build" does not work for me,
It says docker has no command compose.
So was curious to know whether or not this dockerised image was ready to be built on windows subsystem for linux..

Hi,
I have never tried it myself on WSL but as far as I know it should work. Maybe WSL is running the old docker compose. In that case, the command is named differently with an additional dash, docker-compose instead of docker compose.
Or you need to install docker compose (it's a different tool additional to docker) on your WSL.

I don't think i have docker installed on my wsl, but now i have downloaded ubuntu, and am running ubuntu on dual boot with windows 10, just wanted to know now , how to build the docker image from here? If you know that , please help

If you run Ubuntu in your VM the following steps should be enough to use the docker:

# Install docker
sudo snap install docker

# Prepare the image
sudo docker compose build

# Setup the build directory
sudo docker compose run console meson setup builddir /code --native-file=native.build

# Compile the application
sudo docker compose run console ninja -C builddir

# Run the application
sudo docker compose run gui builddir/app

# Run tests
sudo docker compose run console ninja -C builddir test
