25. Frequently Asked Questions for Developers¶

25.1 Host resolution issues on WSL¶

Network (DNS) issue on the WSL2/Ubuntu, resulting in error when trying to clone the repo: unable to access 'https://github.com/unicef-drp/GeoSight-OS.git/: Could not resolve host: github.com. The solution was to go through steps described here: https://gist.github.com/coltenkrauter/608cfe02319ce60facd76373249b8ca6 and setting up primary DNS to 8.8.8.8 and secondary to 8.8.4.4

25.2 Unable to connect to docker daemon¶

When trying to Rebuild and Open we got Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?.

This issue is likely related to the new Docker Desktop Resource Saver mode. After disabling this option you should be able to rebuild.
