No problem, glad I could be of some help! As an update I found out that once you have it running in the older version of docker, you can update to the latest version of Docker and it will still work. There are just a couple of things you have to do first. DevKinsta won’t allow you to change the WSL path in the app, but there’s a workaround.
-
Open DevKinsta and push your latest changes since you will have to cleanup docker to make this work.
-
Close DevKinsta.
-
With docker open, update to the latest version. (4.37.1 at the time of this writing)
-
Open config.json from your devkinsta folder (C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\DevKinsta)
-
Look for the following code around line 127:
“windowsPath”: “\\wsl.localhost\docker-desktop-data\data\docker\volumes\DevKinsta\”,
“unixPath”: “/mnt/host/wsl/docker-desktop-data/data/docker/volumes/DevKinsta/” -
Replace that code with this code:
“windowsPath”: “\\wsl.localhost\docker-desktop\mnt\docker-desktop-disk\data\docker\volumes\DevKinsta\”,
“unixPath”: “/mnt/wsl/docker-desktop/mnt/docker-desktop-disk/data/docker/volumes/DevKinsta/”, -
save the config file.
-
In Docker, select and delete all kinsta containers, images and volumes.
-
Restart Kinsta and re-import the site.
That should do it! As far as I know this will only work when using my method above on an older version of Docker and then updating and not with a fresh version of docker, since as far as I can tell, the current version of DevKinsta looks for the old docker-desktop-data path when first installing it. When I get a chance I will mess around with doing a brand new install and see if I have any success. In the meantime, hopefully this will help folks who want to run DevKinsta on the latest Docker build.
