This is a super quick post on get VS Code Devcontainers (aka ‘VS Code Remote Containers’) working entirely with just WSL2, without the need to install Docker for Windows

I’ve been a huge fan of WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) since it first came to Windows 10. In fact it’s fair to say it has completely transformed how I do local development, run tools and my whole workflow. Naturally I was very interested in the news from Build announcing a new version of WSL, which seems to go by the rather functional (if descriptive) name “WSL2”
