laravel 11 - install with docker

Following Laravel doc, I've installed Ubuntu 22.04 as a default distro for WSL2. Next, I've installed Docker Desktop and linked to WSL2. Next I open wsl terminal and typed as below, followed by my admin-psw . Then a list of files are displayed with: Permission denied attached, and the folder my-app doesn't exist. Stackoverflow suggest to edit the docker-file, but my folder doesn't exist so I don't know where is the docker-file [1]. Thanks.

I understood this could be a permission issue, but how do I fix it? Thanks

Host: Win 10 22H2
laravel 11
WSL2 distro: Ubuntu 22.04
Docker Desktop: 4.36

wsl terminal:

curl -s https://laravel.build/my-app | bash

output:

...
chown: changing ownership of './zipcontainer.dll': Permission denied
chown: changing ownership of './zipfldr.dll': Permission denied
chown: changing ownership of './ztrace_maps.dll': Permission denied
chown: changing ownership of './zu-ZA': Permission denied
chown: changing ownership of '.': Permission denied

Thank you! We hope you build something incredible. Dive in with: cd my-app && ./vendor/bin/sail up

I suggest skipping docker and WSL, and simply use Laravel Herd instead for your development.

Thanks but Docker is a requirement, I can't skip it.

I'm using WSL2 with Ubuntu 22.04 on my Windows computer. Instead of Sail I use Lando for my docker containers. When I installed Laravel I used the following command:

docker run --rm --volume $PWD:/app --user $(id -u):$(id -g) composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

The --user $(id -u):$(id -g) part made sure I had all the permissions I needed.

Thanks Thrid, I managed to fix the issue, though I still don't know why. Here is what I did, in case anyone is falling in the same trap:

I tried with Composer, but it failed because of conflicting versions (obviously). From wsl terminal:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install composer 
$ sudo LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php  
$ sudo apt install php8.4-cli
$ sudo update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php8.4   ** set default php 8.4
$ composer create-project  laravel/laravel  laravel-sail

Then, casually, I tried again with the original command, this time it worked:

$ curl -s https://laravel.build/myapp | bash
...
