How to fix it?

Answer 1

I looked for a solution for this problem and found exactly what you were looking for I think. My goal was to be able to use docker from my WSL distro of choice (Ubuntu).

1. Make sure you have WSL2 (How to check it)
2. Download Docker Desktop (I know you don't want to use this but stay with me)
3. Open docker desktop, go to settings, to Resources, to WSL integration. Here activate the integration with your distro of choice.
4. Do not forget to hit Apply & Restart
5. Now open your WSL and type docker run hello-world to test if docker works

Answer 2

I haven't entirely managed to get rid of the same error (I use Windows 10, WSL2 and Ubuntu 20.04 and I sure as hell do not want to use the crappy shareware called Docker Desktop, that annoys the hell of me with all its upgrade and "Pro" crap).

However: following this guide https://dev.to/bowmanjd/install-docker-on-windows-wsl-without-docker-desktop-34m9 seems to help.

I got rid of the "iptables"-related error messages by adding "iptables": false in the /etc/docker/daemon.json configuration. I have not mnaged to start dockerd just now though (apparently "error creating default "bridge" network: permission denied" is haunting me somewhat).

Give it a whirl if you like.

Edit: the reason for the error message was, that my WSL Ubuntu 20.04LTS container was - despite what I thought - not a WSL2 container, but WSL instead.

Make sure to set the version of the container to v2 and make sure to use that container, possibly setting both settings as defaults (v2 and container). See https://stackoverflow.com/a/65005633/15610035 for details on how to do it.

After changing the version of the container to v2 the error message went away.

However: I currently have trouble getting dockerd to expose the ports in a way, that the Windows localhost can access, because the WSL localhost is not the same as the Windows localhost. The reason is, that network is handled differently with WSLv2 - in comparison to WSLv1.

WSL doesn't have an init. You need to use native Windows docker which uses a special WSL for it.
