Docker

Docker installation: https://www.docker.com/community-edition

For Ubuntu: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/

For Windows: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/#install-docker-for-windows

For Windows, Docker come in two ways:

  • Docker for Windows
  • Docker Toolbox

The current version of Docker for Windows runs on 64bit Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise and Education.

If your system does not meet the requirements to run Docker for Windows, you can install Docker Toolbox, which uses Oracle Virtual Box instead of Hyper-V.

Docker for Windows requires Microsoft Hyper-V to run. The Docker for Windows installer will enable Hyper-V for you, if needed, and restart your machine. After Hyper-V is enabled, VirtualBox will no longer work, but any VirtualBox VM images will remain. VirtualBox VMs created with docker-machine (including the default one typically created during Toolbox install) will no longer start. These VMs cannot be used side-by-side with Docker for Windows. However, you can still use docker-machine to manage remote VMs.

Virtualization must be enabled. Typically, virtualization is enabled by default. (Note that this is different from having Hyper-V enabled.) For more detail see Virtualization must be enabled in Troubleshooting.
