Unable to start the vpp-agent Docker container in WSL

[eshikafe]

Hello,

I tried following the Ligato Quick Guide document to experiment with the vpp-agent. However, the vpp-agent container is unable to start. It throws the following errors:

austin:~$ sudo docker run -it --rm --name vpp-agent -p 5002:5002 -p 9191:9191 --privileged ligato/vpp-agent

My setup is WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux(Ubuntu Focal) on Windows 10.

austin:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Release:        20.04
Codename:       focal
austin:~$

The etcd container is okay.

austin:~$ sudo docker exec -it etcd etcdctl version
[sudo] password for austin:
etcdctl version: 3.3.8
API version: 3.3
austin:~$ sudo docker exec -it etcd etcdctl endpoint health
127.0.0.1:2379 is healthy: successfully committed proposal: took = 533.7µs
austin:~$

Please what could be wrong? Thanks.
