Docker on Windows from Cerewro: containers with AI
Manage Docker Desktop on Windows directly from the Cerewro chat: run containers, build images, start multi-service stacks with docker-compose, inspect logs and clean up resources. The AI interprets errors and proposes solutions instantly.
Prerequisites
- Windows 10/11 with WSL2 enabled:
wsl --install - Docker Desktop installed:
winget install Docker.DockerDesktop - Virtualization enabled in BIOS (Hyper-V or VT-x)

Diagnose failing container from Cerewro
The "my-app" container won't start and returns exit code 1. Check the logs, identify the error and propose the solution
WSL2 + Docker: For better performance, place your projects inside the WSL2 file system (
\\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\user\projects) instead of C:\. I/O operations are up to 5x faster.
