Basic Instruction to setup docker on windows 7 install docker toolbox https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/overview/#next-steps what docker toolbox will contains ?
- you want to have Doker Engine(to create container and images) in order for Docker CLI Client running
- you want to have Docker Machine(so that you can run Docker Engine from Windows terminal) Problem: Because Docker Engine Deamon uses Linux-specific kernal feature you can't run Docker Engine natively on windows Solution: you must use Docker Machine command to create and attach a small VM on your linux machine, This VM host Docker Engine for you on your windows system
- Kitematic(Docker GUI)
- Docker Quickstart Terminal
- Oracle VM
My PC:Windows 7 x64 19.5 Gb remaining on C at the time of writing this I'm installing Docker Toolbox version 17.04.0-ce PC Location C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox Full installation Consist Of Docker Client Docker Machine Docker Compose(Optional) Virtual Box Kitematic(Optional) Git(Optional)
After Installation when you will open Docker Quickstart Terminal docker will create a image named "default" at C:\users\username.docker\machine\machines\default.. Creating VirtualBox VM Creating SSH key Creating the VM
there also a note: To see how to connect your docker client to the Docker Engine running on this Virtual Machine run C:\ProgramFiles\Docker ToolBox\docker-machine.exe env default
The terminal runs a special bash environment instead of the standard Windows command prompt. The bash environment is required by Docker.
