Can't run selenoid?

Question

Windows

I installed wsl2 and curl and then downloaded docker via command in wsl2:
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sudo bash -s
downloaded selenioid from official page, started docker deamon as root via command in wsl2 dockerd
BUT when trying to run sleenoid in cmd via command :

D:\path\to\selenoid.exe selenoid start --vnc --browsers "chrome:69.0" --args "-limit 1000" --force

I keep getting:

Failed to initialize: [can not access Docker: make sure you have Docker installed and current user has access permission
s]

I faced the same problem when docker deamon was not running but the server is backed up by the command
dockerd(without closing the terminal)

I would appreciate any help
Thank you!

Faced the same error today. First I found that you can use the --use-drivers flag, but the selenoid will not be in the docker.
.\cm.exe selenoid start --vnc --use-drivers
Then I remembered that I first need to run Docker Desktop (launched under win 10), which will launch the docker daemon and it all worked))
