Dispatcher fails to run: Operation not supported

[MajesticBevans]

After spending quite a while trying to get a local copy of overpass running, I've now managed to get an instance working with static queries. However, I would like to be able to query it with HTTP and so am attempting to run the dispatcher. When I do this, I get the following error:

File_Error Operation not supported 95 /mnt/d/local_overpass/Overpass-API/build/db//osm3s_osm_base Unix_Socket::4

For more context, I have tried installing the latest overpass version via tarball and git clone just to make sure, and I have populated the database by using the download_clone.sh script, and am running this code on windows subsystem for linux, Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS. I believe this is an issue with not being able to write the dispatcher file into the database, but I don't quite no why and I can't seem to find what error 95 means in the source code. I think I have identified where in the code it is being thrown:

  if (max_num_reading_processes > 0)
  {
    if (bind(socket_descriptor, (struct sockaddr*)&local,
        sizeof(struct sockaddr_un)) == -1)
      throw File_Error(errno, socket_name, "Unix_Socket::4");

in types.cc, but I don't really understand what the code is doing or how to fix it.

Any help would be appreciated.

This issue seems to be WSL2 specific. Maybe check some of the answers on StackOverflow on this topic. That's all totally unrelated to Overpass API, and a general restriction when it comes to unix domain sockets:
