No matter what engine you use, whether its wsl or ubuntu, the magento cloud docker setup is a nightmare.

1, the docs have inconsistencies. php versions are different from one setup to another

2 the cloud docker has different php minor versions than what gets install via apt

3 there is never a time where there isn’t an error at some point in the build process for most first time users. These errors are documented all over the internet with virtuallly no responses in the forums

4 the project community edition is not available to look at via github or any public spot (wtf)

I have been trying to get a local setup of magento for weeks and it is the most complicated local build of a docker instance in the extistance of php CMS’s.

My WordPress Docker instane that I built myself works flawlessly and easily debuggable.

I think the magento team should spend a few weeks going around and answering all the qeustions that remain unanswered.
