Windows Docker installation
The Docker engine uses Linux kernel features, so we need to run Docker on Windows using a lightweight virtual machine (VM).
We install virtual machines and run Dockers with Boot2Docker
Installation
1, install Boot2Docker
The latest version of Boot2Docker Download Address: https://github.com/boot2docker/windows-installer/releases/latest
The latest version is v1.8.0 and the download address is: https://github.com/boot2docker/windows-installer/releases/download/v1.8.0/docker-install.exe
2, run the installation file
Run the installation file and it will install virtualbox, MSYS-git boot2docker Linux image, and Boot2Docker management tools.
Then click "Next" continuously to enter the following interface
Click "Install" to start the installation.
The installation is complete.
Run Boot2Docker Start from the desktop or program Files.
Boot2Docker Start will start a Unix shell to configure and manage Docker running on the virtual host, and we can see if it works by running docker version.
Run Docker
Using boot2docker.exe ssh to the virtual host, and then execute docker run hello-world
At this end, docker's installation on the Windows system is complete.
