In your editor, locate the following code snippet: It’s now time to edit the file, but before you do so, you may want to save a copy of the original file.
If you don’t open an elevated editor, you won’t be able to save your changes. To modify the file you’ll have to open the file in an editor running as Administrator. It keeps complaining about virtualization not being enabled when it is, so we need to make a small modification to disable the virtualization check. The official guide found here has some issues, at least on AMD hardware. See our kobo-install repository on GitHub for details.
The file we want to modify is located under C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox and is called called start.sh. We’re going to use Docker Toolbox to run docker in virtualbox. Advanced users can also install KoBoToolbox on their own server (or on a local machine) using Docker. Once you have installed Docker, we’ll modify the startup file to allow it to create the default VM.
The installation should run without any issues before you proceed with the next steps. Have you previously installed Docker Toolbox, Docker Machine, or VirtualBox Docker for Windows now requires Microsofts Hyper-V. Once you have disabled Hyper-V, the first step is to install Docker using the installer for Windows.
If you don’t know how to do this, follow these instructions. This post describes how to change the Docker startup script to allow you to create the default virtual machine using the startup script and still keep Hyper-V installed.īefore you start with the installation of Docker, I would suggest disabling Hyper-V.
In my case, I do have it installed but I have a boot option set up to disable it when I am not using it. Since Docker-toolbox (with Kitematic) is deprecated, all users are recommended to use Docker Desktop for Mac and Docker Desktop for Windows. This step of the process fails if you have Hyper-V installed, even if it is disabled. The issue is that when you run the terminal the very first time, the startup script attempts to create the default virtual machine in which the docker containers will run. Docker for Windows no longer runs Docker inside a Linux VM: With LCOW, the Docker daemon runs as a Windows process (same as when running Docker Windows containers), and every time you start a Linux container Docker launches a minimal Hyper-V hypervisor running a VM with a Linux kernel, runc and the container processes running on top. Looks like something went wrong in step ´Checking if machine default exists´ If it's installed but deactivated, you can use -virtualbox-no-vtx-check to try anyways" VirtualBox won't boot a 64bits VM when Hyper-V is activated. If you try to start the Docker Quickstart Terminal, you’ll get the following error message: Running pre-create checks.Įrror with pre-create check: "Hyper-V is installed. I had heard at Microsoft Ignite that Docker was super excited to partner with Microsoft to develop the Docker Engine for Windows Server. However if you have Hyper-V installed as I do, the instructions will not work right out of the box. Windows Containers Is the underlining technology platform that allows us to run a Windows Container Instance which combines the usage of many Windows Server technology like Hyper-V, File Server, Networking, etc. The same command works just fine in Docker Quickstart Terminal.Installing Docker on Windows is a fairly simple and straightforward process. =0&memswap=0&rm=1&shmsize=0&t=docker-whale&ulimits=null: open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the run Docker, your machine must have a 64-bit operating system running Windows 7 or higher. t docker-whaleĪn error occurred trying to connect: Post oupparent=&cpuperiod=0&cpuquota=0&cpusetcpus=&cpusetmems=&cpushares=0&dockerfile=Dockerfile&labels=%7B%7D&memory Windows users use Docker Toolbox to install Docker software. Unfortunately it does not work in my case (output from Visual Studio Code terminal): C:\Users\Konrad\workspace\docker-tests>docker build. I am using Visual Studio Code for development and it has extension for Docker Support ( ) which adds integration for the most common Docker commands.
I have Windows 10 Home edition, therefore I had to install Docker Toolbox instead of Docker.
