i try run bare docker command directly, it works this time.

The database needs to be running in order to execute this command. You can easily start a managed dev database with `wasp start db`.

i run wasp db studio, i can see my database are runing and can see studio page,
obviously my database is running on 5432, not sure why wasp db migrate-dev and wasp start not work.

does anyone met same problem?
and also, does this repo support sqlite?
thank you.

Maybe @martinovicdev, our resident WSL hacker, or @Martinsos know what to do here?

[martinovicdev]

This could have been caused by the incomplete Docker Desktop installation. Here is a step by step guide based on official Docker guide https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/#manage-docker-as-a-non-root-user:

1. Run
   sudo groupadd docker
   If the group exists, continue with the following steps anyways.

2. Now add your user to docker group by running
   sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
   where USER is your username. In my case, it would be sudo usermod -aG docker martinovicdev

3. Now log out and log back in to the WSL2 shell. Run
   su -s $USER

4. Now try out the wasp db start command and it should work.

sorry for delay, i tried today, it report the same error：

@martinovicdev what the step 3 purpose?

○ → su -s $USER

it also report error.

and thank you for help, you can close this issue since i know this is mainly a enviroment issue, not really close related to wasp, i will try use a real linux desktop instead of wsl2.
