Docker 10.10 Install These Programs

Since the installer refuses to run on Windows 10 Home, well install these programs individually using Chocolatey.

Check out the Windows container version compatibility matrix for details.

Heres a list of software youll need to build and run Docker containers.

For this to work on Windows, youll need to set up a Linux virtual machine to run as guest in Windows 10 Home.

The easiest way is to use Docker Machine to do this work for you by running a single command.

This Docker Linux VM can either run on your local system or on a remote server.

Docker client will use SSH to communicate with Docker Engine.

Whenever you create and run images, the actual process will happen within the VM, not on your host (Windows).

Im also assuming youre running the latest stable version of Windows.

At the time of writing, Im using Windows 10 Home version 1903.

This will be our primary terminal for running Docker commands.

Alternatively, If you have finished installing Chocolatey, you can simply execute this command inside an elevated PowerShell terminal.

Alternatively, you can execute this command inside an elevated PowerShell terminal.

This will download a Linux image containing the Docker Engine and have it run as a VM using VirtualBox.

Doing this will allow us to access our applications via localhost.

To do this, youll need to launch Oracle VM VirtualBox from your start menu.

You should find the ssh forwarding port already set up for you.

To add a different path, simply go to Oracle VM VirtualBox GUI.

Video memory is not important in this case, as well run the VM in headless mode.

This is to allow the Docker client and Docker Compose to communicate with the Docker Engine running in the Linux VM, default.

If youd like to avoid this, you can copy eval output and save it in your.bashrc file.

It should look something like this.

Also take note that theres a chance the IP address assigned might be different from the one you saved every time you start the default VM.

These tools are packaged inside the Docker for Windows installer.
