Maybe someone will need this: So after some investigation my conclusion is that docker integration with wsl2 is the root cause. I got some successes after reinstalling wsl, but then it was failing again 😕 strange thing that it sometimes works and sometimes not. Even stranger, that when I try to run it in wsl2 docker, then it breaks wsl and I cannot even run prefect as "pure python" (without docker, just local python script) disabling wsl2 docker integration helps, but then I cannot then run docker in wsl 😞 So for now I'll stick to running it in windows docker ...

have you tried rancher desktop - much better/stable wsl2 integration

never have I heard about this... Thanks for the tip! Will try it

I use it for running orion locally and running flows locally in k8's - nice experience via win and wsl2

super! I will check it and give feedback if it worked or not. Thanks again for sharing this
