My office is running DevKinsta on a PC am I trying to get DevKinsta to run as a standard user. Is that possible at all? Or does running WSL 2 and Docker required admin rights?

Thank you in advance!

Hi @mgeans . I’m afraid admin rights may be required here as it’ll need to edit the hosts file which is typically something admins would need to be able to do.
