Issue

OPS installs ok locally on the WSL machine. However, I am running into issues when attempting to start OPS locally.

I keep running into the following error:

samfonseca@xps13:~/Sites$ ops start
Starting ops services...

This answer on docker's forum helped me bypass the problem.

I updated credsStore to credStore in the ~/.docker/config.json file.

{
  "credStore": "desktop.exe"
}

Not sure what exactly is causing it. This is a fresh Debian install using WSL 2 by default.
