Run windows container on docker toolbox? - docker

I am trying to run microsoft/iis:latest image on my docker toolbox set-up in my Windows 10 Home.
As expected, with the containers running on a virtual linux VM, i get the below message.
$ docker run -it microsoft/iis
Unable to find image 'microsoft/iis:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from microsoft/iis
C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker.exe: no matching manifest for linux/amd64 in the manifest list entries.
See 'C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker.exe run --help'.
Is there a way i can run such containers on toolbox, without using 'Docker for Windows' set-up?
Thanks.

Nope, you cannot run Windows containers in Windows Home. Windows containers run directly in the OS without the intervention of Docker Desktop. Docker Desktop is only a convenient interface in this case.
You can install in Virtualbox Microsoft Hyper-V Server with is free and there (I think) you can run Windows Containers.

Docker without docker dekstop. How to run Dockerfile

I want to run docker container on windows without docker desktop.
I dont know how it could work.
I installed Ubuntu on Windows (from Microsoft Store).
In Windows cmd i can write 'wsl' and then it brings me to Ubuntu cmd. In Ubuntu i installed Docker and its working.
Now I have project on Windows with Dockerfile. How can i run it ?
Because i have two systems Windows with my project and Linux with docker. What i have to do now to makes it works ?
Thanks
In your WSL navigate to your Dockerfile location. /mnt/c is the windows C: drive location inside the WSL. Build your Dockerfile with docker build. Run it with docker run. If the docker commands complain about the docker daemon not being reachable you need to start it with sudo service docker start.

Debug python code running in a docker compose on a SSH remote development machine

I run a docker-compose (python) application on a remote machine, which I can access via SSH for remote development with VS Code.
I'm running the docker compose application on a Ubuntu 22.04 LTS machine and develop from a Windows 10 notebook. The remote machine has docker desktop 4.11 installed, as well as the Docker Extension Pack for VSC.
When I open the folder on the remote machineand start the application, I can see the that the docker images are created and containers are running. But when I try to attach a Visual Studio Code to the running container I get the error:
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
Is there a way to debug the code inside the docker containers?
Seems like the docker engine fo docker desktop is not found by the docker extension of VSC. Docker desktop for Linux is installs the docker engine in unix://home/<user/.docker/desktop/docker.sock and not under the standard docker engine path mentioned in the error messageunix://var/run/docker.sock. See Switch between Docker Desktop and Docker Engine
So my solution is to install the Docker Engine instead of Docker Desktop until a fix of VSC or the VSC Docker extension is available.
After attaching Visual Studio Code to the running container you can debug the application in the same way as on your do on your own machine.

docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running? Linux Bash Shell on windows 10

I am new to Docker. I'm trying to work with it on windows.
I have Windows 10 Family so I installed Linux Bash Shell.
When I run this command:
$ docker run hello-world
I get :
docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?.
And when I run
$ systemctl status docker
I get
System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate
For anyone using WSL2 and seeing an identical error message, look at https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/WSL/issues/457#issuecomment-511495846

Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
It seems like you wont be able to use docker in Windows 10 family, since docker Desktop requires specific Windows version, as said in official documentation.
System Requirements
Windows 10 64-bit: Pro, Enterprise, or Education (Build 15063 or later).
What you can try is to run linux-based virtual machine on you Windows host, and run docker inside of it. But even if you succeeded, you will lose all advantages of the docker in resources consumption.
Just run the Docker Daemon with.
sudo dockerd &
The sudo make it run as super user.
Dockerd is DOCKERDaemon
The single & at the end just make it run in the background.
The issue here is that from the error message, it states that you are using WSL (Windows Sub-system for Linux Version 1), this version did not have Docker support as it is not a full Linux kernel, but an translation layer between a Linux user-space and then translated to Windows Kernel commands.
Running the wsl --list -v command will show you the version you are using:
You can install WSL version 2, which has a Microsoft provided full Linux Kernel running using Hyper-V infrastructure (but not full Hyper-V). This way it runs on Windows Home, Education, and Professional. And here you can run a Linux Instance and the install Docker.

Docker on windows error related to daemon

I am trying to install Docker Tools on Windows 7 laptop, installed Docker using Windows Docker Tools.
When I run docker run hello-world I get the below error. I have already removed the VM, and recreated it. Also, I am using a VPN.
Please let me know what steps should I try next.
C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker.exe: error during connect: Post http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.35/containers/create: open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the fi daemon configuration on Windows, the docker client must be run elevated to connect. This error may also indicate that the docker daemon is not running. See 'C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker.exe run --help'.
Try restarting the docker service using below on cmd-prompt:
Net stop com.docker.service
Net start com.docker.service
or restart the Docker for Windows service through the Windows GUI by right clicking the service and choosing restart

How to Run Jenkins in a Windows Docker Container on Windows 10?

I am trying to run Jenkins in a docker container on my Windows 10 box. I am using a Windows container, not a Linux container.
I tried to use this guide: https://jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/#on-windows
However the command to enter is for Linux containers, not Windows containers.
I can't seem to get Linux containers to work due to a known issue with them after the 1709 update (https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/1221).
I tried "docker pull jenkins" however there's no amd64 version to pull.
Any ideas here? My only other thought is trying to figure out how to run Java from a windows container so I can use the Jenkins .war file instead?
Actually, I was able to run Jenkins Linux container on my Windows (Build 1709)
machine. However, this version of Windows and Docker (17.12.0) run Linux Containers on top of Hyper-V. So you need to enable Hyper-V before taking the following steps.
Right-click on the whale icon and click on Switch To Linux Containers
run docker pull jenkins/jenkins:lts in Powershell
run docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 50000:50000 jenkins/jenkins:lts in Powershell
Get The IP of your container and use your browser to open Jenkins Panel on port 8080.
Besides that, I found there are several Jenkins Windows Images. Such as:
