This command will install WSL2 and download the Ubuntu distribution. The Ubuntu console will be available in the Start menu. All subsequent commands are to be executed in this window.
Configure Docker + WSL Integration In Docker Desktop, navigate to: Settings → Resources → WSL Integration, check "Enable integration with my default WSL distro", and click the Apply & Restart button.

Install Dependencies - Linux

HashCore Proxy is distributed as a set of Docker containers. Before installation, you need to install Git, Docker, and Docker Compose.

docker-compose.yml file

The `docker-compose.yml` file is required to run Hashcore Proxy. The file describes all services (Stratum Proxy, Grafana, Prometheus, etc.). In most cases, this file does not require changes — it is configured and ready to use immediately after installation. It should only be edited in special circumstances.
