Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at tcp://localhost:2375

I have installed docker client on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on Windows 10.0.17763 Home.

When I run 

sudo docker ps

I got:

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at tcp://localhost:2375. Is the docker daemon running?

and after removing docker environment variables (unset DOCKER_HOST , unset DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY , unset DOCKER_TLS_PATH), I still have the same issue with docker daemon:

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

When I try to start docker daemon sudo systemctl start docker I am getting:

Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory

docker version is 19.03.4

docker compose version is 1.24.1

Also restarting LxssManager win service will not help. What should I do?

WSL is no real Linux Kernel which is why nothing, also running the Windows Subsystem for Linux as administrator by right clicking from start menu and running sudo service docker start does not work.

There is a new version, WSL 2 which is supposed to solve the docker issue but I did not try it our so far: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/wsl-tech-preview/
