> I am curious, though, why in your use-case of Tailscale and Traefik knowing that Docker Desktop runs in a VM would impact anything from a functional standpoint?

When using Ubuntu/WSL2, there are not the same daemons running as on the same Ubuntu running on it's own. Tailscale expects one or two, I'd have to dig into my emails to find the specifics, something like no systemd under Ubuntu/WSL2 and Tailscale not checking, just failing. I seem to remember there was more than one daemon expected, which might be present on that other VM but either Tailscale or Traefik know to check or communicate with that other VM and their integration fails. Support's recommendation was to just use a no desktop gui server where everything just works.

Yeah, I get grumpy. I need to check myself better. I realize we're all trying our best.

Ah, makes sense. I have encountered some funky stuff with Docker+WSL, especially because I often prefer to use distros other than Ubuntu. It feels extra fragile/added complexity how Docker Desktop on Windows relies on WSL for Linux containers.

Thanks for indulging my curiosity!
