I’ve just upgraded to Windows 10 Home May 2020, activated WSL2, and installed Docker Desktop.

WSL2 must be installed in my system disk, which is a small SSD. I don’t want to fill it with docker images. How do I change the docker images path? I’d like to use a path in my big Windows filesystem.

The image location is somewhat confusing. I believe it is in /mnt/wsl/docker-desktop-data/.

How do I change the directory of docker images inside WSL2? May I change docker configuration to select a path inside /mnt/d, or mount a path from /mnt/d over docker data dirs?
