Windows Docker Machine This Vagrant environment creates a Docker Machine to work on your MacBook with Windows containers. You can easily switch between Docker for Mac Linux containers and the Windows containers. Many flavors There are several versions of Windows Server. This is where you decide which Vagrant VM should be started.
2019 - Windows Server 2019 (10.0.17763) LTS Channel. 1809 - Windows Server, version 1809 (10.0.17763) Semi-Annual Channel. 1803 - Windows Server, version 1803 (10.0.17134) Semi-Annual Channel. 1709 - Windows Server, version 1709 (10.0.16299) Semi-Annual Channel. 2016 - Windows Server 2016 (10.0.14393) LTS channel. insider - Windows Server Insider builds.
lcow - Windows Server, version 1809 with LCOW enabled So with a vagrant up 2019 you spin up the LTS version, with vagrant up 1809 the 1809 semi-annual version and with vagrant up insider the Insider build. If you don't want to run the packer step, you can run vagrant up 2019-box and get your box downloaded directly from.
What the install includes: The installation provides Docker Engine, Docker CLI client, Docker Compose, Docker Machine, and Kitematic. Install and run Docker for Mac Double-click Docker.dmg to open the installer, then drag Moby the whale to the Applications folder.
Tested environments. macOS with Vagrant 2.2.0.
VMware Fusion Pro 11.0.1. VirtualBox 5.2.20. Windows with Vagrant 2.2.0. VMware Workstation Pro 14.1.3.
(VirtualBox see issue ). (Hyper-V see issue ) Before you begin First you need the Windows Server 2019 VM for your hypervisor. I prefer 'Infrastructure as Code', so every build step is available on GitHub.
packer build to build a Vagrant base box, it's like a Docker image, but for Vagrant VM's. vagrant up to create a running VM instance of Windows Server.
docker run to run Windows containers in that Windows VM Step 1 (building the headless Vagrant box) can be done with these steps. $ docker run -it -v C: $(pwd ):C: $(pwd ) microsoft/windowsservercore powershell Yes, this mounts the current directory through the Windows 2019 VM into the Windows Container. Accessing published ports of Windows containers When you run Windows containers with publish ports then you can use the IP address of the Windows Docker host to access it. The docker-machine binary can give your the IP address with a command. Example: Run the whoami Windows container and open it in the default macOS browser. $ docker run -d -p 8080:8080 stefanscherer/whoami $ open ip 2019):8080 Working on Windows Spin up the headless Vagrant box you created earlier with Windows Server 2019 and Docker EE installed.
It will create the TLS certs and create a 2019 Docker machine for your docker-machine binary on your Windows host. If you haven't worked with docker-machine yet, create the.docker directory in your user profile manually. PS C: git clone https: // github.com /StefanScherer /windows -docker -machine PS C: cd windows -docker -machine PS C: vagrant up -provider vmwareworkstation 2019 - or - PS C: vagrant up -provider virtualbox 2019 - or - PS C: vagrant up -provider hyperv 2019 Notice: The provider hyperv does mount the volumes with SMB into the Windows Server 2019 VM. It seems that there is a problem mounting that further into a Windows container.
The provisioning (creating the TLS certs and copying them back to the Windows host) will fail. List your new Docker machine. PS C: docker run -d -p 8080: 8080 stefanscherer /whoami PS C: start http: //$(docker -machine ip 2019): 8080 Further commands Here is a list of docker-machine commands and the equivalent Vagrant command. I use a bash function to simplify all the tasks without switching to the Vagrant folder each time.

It is tested on a Mac with the following steps. Register at Windows Insider program.
Download the Windows Server ISO from. Build the Vagrant basebox with Packer.
Install Docker for Mac Estimated reading time: 3 minutes To download Docker for Mac, head to Docker Hub. What to know before you install README FIRST for Docker Toolbox and Docker Machine users If you are already running Docker on your machine, first read to understand the impact of this installation on your existing setup, how to set your environment for Docker for Mac, and how the two products can coexist. Relationship to Docker Machine: Installing Docker for Mac does not affect machines you created with Docker Machine. You have the option to copy containers and images from your local default machine (if one exists) to the new Docker for Mac VM.
When you are running Docker for Mac, you do not need Docker Machine nodes running at all locally (or anywhere else). With Docker for Mac, you have a new, native virtualization system running (HyperKit) which takes the place of the VirtualBox system. To learn more, see. System Requirements: Docker for Mac launches only if all of these requirements are met.
Mac hardware must be a 2010 or newer model, with Intel’s hardware support for memory management unit (MMU) virtualization, including Extended Page Tables (EPT) and Unrestricted Mode. You can check to see if your machine has this support by running the following command in a terminal: sysctl kern.hvsupport. macOS El Capitan 10.11 and newer macOS releases are supported.
We recommend upgrading to the latest version of macOS. At least 4GB of RAM. VirtualBox prior to version 4.3.30 must NOT be installed (it is incompatible with Docker for Mac). If you have a newer version of VirtualBox installed, it’s fine. Note: If your system does not satisfy these requirements, you can install, which uses Oracle VirtualBox instead of HyperKit.
What the install includes: The installation provides, Docker CLI client,. Install and run Docker for Mac. Double-click Docker.dmg to open the installer, then drag Moby the whale to the Applications folder. Double-click Docker.app in the Applications folder to start Docker.
(In the example below, the Applications folder is in “grid” view mode.) You are prompted to authorize Docker.app with your system password after you launch it. Privileged access is needed to install networking components and links to the Docker apps. The whale in the top status bar indicates that Docker is running, and accessible from a terminal. If you just installed the app, you also get a success message with suggested next steps and a link to this documentation. Click the whale ( ) in the status bar to dismiss this popup. Click the whale ( ) to get Preferences and other options. Select About Docker to verify that you have the latest version.
