The Podman Desktop for Windows GUI is incompatible with a docker-cli that has been installed with a DOCKER_HOST environment variable defined globally. If you want to run both, the DOCKER_HOST variable has to be set up locally (in the command prompt) before running docker.exe rather than as a System or User Environment variable that is always active. Interestingly, the podman.exe command does not have this problem and ignores the DOCKER_HOST environment variable.

Download Podman Desktop for Windows from https://podman-desktop.io/downloads/windows.

Install it.

Open a command prompt and enter “podman machine init” to create the WSL Fedora 38 instance named “podman-machine-default”.

You may use the “podman” command instead of “docker”, or create an alias named docker.exe pointing to podman.exe.
