Docker Pipe Permission Issues with WSL when running Coder in Docker
@Phorcys Here is the thread.
I am struggling to get permissions working with coder user on WSL. So far two things worked:
1. Make all images run in root user.
2. Run docker compose up -d in WSL
This is not ideal since it requires swapping to WSL to make it work or running in root on the containers.
The other problem I ran into was that when running coder image as root it would work but all images had to be run as root since volumes would be created by TF with root user permissions and then coder user did not have access to it, making me unable to RW files in volumes created for workspaces using TF

Ok it seems running docker compose from wsl only works.
hey, have you changed anything in your docker compose when running it in WSL?
it should work from any of WSL or Windows
No changes, initially. Started playing around. Ideally i would like to cleanly install WSL again and try it again. I think the course of action which is different from a normal WSL install was that Docker Desktop installed and enabled WSL and then I worked in the docker instance (where i started working with Coder). It was only later i installed ubuntu and swapped to using it.
sounds good, pretty weird though
