Error on docker starting exit code -1

What were you putting in yours?

Mine looks like this:

[wsl2]
memory=24GB # 75% of physical max
localhostForwarding=true # Ports in WSL 2 connectable from host
swap=64GB #200% of memory size on Windows
swapFile=C:\\Apps\\WSL2\\WSLswap.vhdx

I took an example from microsoft.
It looked like this:

# Settings apply across all Linux distros running on WSL 2
[wsl2]

# Limits VM memory to use no more than 4 GB, this can be set as whole numbers using GB or MB
memory=4GB 

# Sets the VM to use two virtual processors
processors=2

# Specify a custom Linux kernel to use with your installed distros. The default kernel used can be found at https://github.com/microsoft/WSL2-Linux-Kernel
kernel=C:\\temp\\myCustomKernel

# Sets additional kernel parameters, in this case enabling older Linux base images such as Centos 6
kernelCommandLine = vsyscall=emulate

# Sets amount of swap storage space to 8GB, default is 25% of available RAM
swap=8GB

# Sets swapfile path location, default is %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\swap.vhdx
swapfile=C:\\temp\\wsl-swap.vhdx

# Disable page reporting so WSL retains all allocated memory claimed from Windows and releases none back when free
pageReporting=false

# Turn off default connection to bind WSL 2 localhost to Windows localhost
localhostforwarding=true

# Disables nested virtualization
nestedVirtualization=false

# Turns on output console showing contents of dmesg when opening a WSL 2 distro for debugging
debugConsole=true

Mine is like this:
[wsl2]
swap=32GB

You don’t want to use their example, really. They’re basically showing you every single option you can change, not necessarily showing you what you should be changing.

You want to make a minimum config file that adjusts only the parameters you need to change, which for most folks is the max RAM it can access and maybe choosing where you want a swap file to be stored.

I’ll try using a simpler config file then
