Nothing short of unsable on Windows

Hi @etienne_clerc

Error #1 and Error #2,

Based on the error messages that you shared, it seems this is related to Docker Desktop 4.30 update, wherein Docker Desktop removed the use of Docker-Desktop-Data and switched to just using Docker-Desktop as its distro folder instead starting at version 4.30, while DevKinsta still uses Docker-Desktop-Data as its default path. However, this conflict only affects DevKinsta if you’re installing the Docker Desktop app through WSL2 instead of Hyper-V. If your Windows Operating system is Windows 11 Pro or higher, you can install the latest version of Docker Desktop through Hyper-v instead.

(Unchecked “Use WSL 2 instead of Hyper-V”)

Unfortunately, if you’re on Windows 11 Home, you can only install Docker Desktop through WSL. For this to work, you’ll have to install Docker Desktop version 4.29 or lower. You can check this post here for the suggested workaround.

Performance Issues

As for the Devkinsta app’s performance, you can try allocating as many resources as possible to the Docker Desktop and checking if it improves performance. You can navigate through Docker Desktop >> Settings >> Resources page to increase its allocated resources.

Example:

(Note: DevKinsta’s development is currently in Maintenance Mode. This means that while our developer team works to keep DevKinsta SOC-2 compliant and will continue to resolve any critical security bugs, further app improvements are on hold until further notice.)

I hope this information helps.

Best,
