Need to enable systemd in wsl.conf #1750

Documentation Issue

Running sudo service docker start is not going to work unless you run these commands first:

sudo -i
vi /etc/wsl.conf

Add these two line:

[boot]
systemd=true

sudo service docker start works with or without systemd support. Thanks for the feedback!

I must be an edge case then. I get docker: unrecognized service without systemd.
