Agent Diagnostic
None of those are installed. You have a few options:
Docker (most common) — install docker.io or docker-ce, then set OPENSHELL_DRIVERS=docker
Podman — rootless container runtime, install podman, then set OPENSHELL_DRIVERS=podman
Configure via environment — set OPENSHELL_DRIVERS in the service's environment
The quickest fix if you want to use Docker on Ubuntu/WSL2:
sudo apt-get install -y docker.io
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
Then tell openshell to use it:
systemctl --user set-environment OPENSHELL_DRIVERS=docker
systemctl --user restart openshell-gateway
Or if you'd prefer Podman (rootless, no daemon):
sudo apt-get install -y podman
systemctl --user set-environment OPENSHELL_DRIVERS=podman
systemctl --user restart openshell-gateway
Which driver would you like to use?
Description
I tried to install your product on a Ubuntu 25.10 WSL2 image and it barfed errors because it couldn't use apt's normal install process to install its normal dependencies.
It is unclear from the spew whether the product even installed successfully.
You are installing a .deb and it is trivial to install docker and then leave it to the user to install/use other solutions as needed.
Reproduction Steps
curl -LsSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NVIDIA/OpenShell/main/install.sh | sh
Environment
Ubuntu 25.10 WSL2
"Docker? I didn't even know her."
