I can't start docker toolbox on windows 7.
This are few steps i did.
1) I download Docker Toolbox from official site.
2) Installed it
3)Installed virtualbox.exe from docker directory.
4) When i run QUICKSTART DOCKER TERMINAL i get this after few settings:
Looks like something went wrong in step ´Setting env´... Press any key to continue...
So i can't run it. What shall i d0?
Also i can't start start.sh
I can see docker --version from git,cmd, and created by docker in vb linux.
Also i can run hello-world from linux console from vb.
But how can i start docker?
Basically i don't understand where i need to work with docker from.
From my windows termianl or only from vb linux terminal
run as administrator a cmd and run this command
"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" --login -i "C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\start.sh"
it will be from your vb linux terminal.. everything is present inside it to run your docker.
the purpose of toolbox is to use it on the unsupported version on your machine via the virtual box..

Hi I have installed docker desktop on my Windows machine.
If I list the docker image using Powershell or Docker Desktop or Cmd I can see the some set of docker images.
I can view the same in Git bash. I am not able to view the docker image listed by Powershell. But I am able to view some different image.
What config I need to update to get the same docker images from PowerShell and GitBash
How can I use the minikube using the docker image from my local system.
It is best to not mix up the Git for Windows bash shell, and the native Powershell.
The %PATH% might be different in a Powershell from Docker, and a bash shell from Git.
you can therefore follow "Getting started with Docker and Kubernetes on Windows 10" from Keith Mifsud, using WSL2 or Hyper-V
See also "Install Minikube in Windows 10 via Docker Desktop 2021 Version"
I am not able to start the Docker container in Microsoft Windows 10 profession. As I found the cause of this error is due to the docker engine is failing to start.
After installing docker I am able to run only the docker version command.
-> docker --version
As I found the error which is showing docker daemon is not running in windows while running any other docker commands on CMD.
I also enabled (checked) the Hyper-V option in "Turn Windows features on or off" in the Control panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows features on or off.
The error is related to the daemon part:
In the default daemon configuration on Windows, the docker client must be run elevated to connect.
We can switch the Docker daemon as an elevated user in order to run the docker daemon in the Windows professional:
Run below command with Windows Powershell as administrator:
Run the PowerShell command: -
& 'C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe' -SwitchDaemon
OR
You can run the below command on CMD as administrator:
Run the CMD command: -
"C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe" -SwitchDaemon
My Docker Desktop failed to start after I forced it to exit while updating (it stuck during the update that's why I had to do it). No solution on the Internet helped me until I ran into this Powershell command:
wsl -l -v
It listed the following:
* Ubuntu-18.04 Stopped 2
docker-desktop Uninstalling 2
docker-desktop-data Stopped 2
It kept saying "Uninstalling" even after rebooting the whole system.
What I did was:
wsl -t docker-desktop
It terminated docker-desktop and made the problem gone.
delete %appdata%\Docker\settings.json and let Docker to create a new one
You should check WSL:
Execute "wsl -l -v" at the command prompt.
If the result is like this:
Then execute "wsl --shutdown" on the command line.
Then execute "wsl -l -v", you will see:
Then start Docker Desktop.
This solved my problem.
Make sure to download the Linux Kernel Update Package and then try restarting Docker Desktop.
Download from here
Just share my experience how I solved the problem with "docker failed to start" or similar problem. I found some mess with my Win10 Home edition, despite the fact that all checkes regarding Hyper-v, wsl and others passed I got failed to start docker engine. So, I tried to install one of the old version (4.4.4), not the newest one. An voila it installed wsl2 and started without any problems!
Hope this could help someone who's tried all solutions (for example, deletion of the %appdata%\docker folders) :)
I was getting the same exact issue and a solution was provided from thread The attempted operation is not supported for the type of object referenced." error after Windows Update fixed my problem. I had tried everything before this solution. To keep it simple just follow the below steps -
Copy below snippet
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2\Parameters\AppId_Catalog\0408F7A3]
"AppFullPath"="C:\Windows\System32\wsl.exe"
"PermittedLspCategories"=dword:80000000
Save it as a file wsl.reg
Execute the file to update the wsl registry
restart docker desktop
these steps are basically done to do some changes in the registry of wsl distribution that is installed standalone or by docker.
Using PowerShell gave me a right direction. All restarts and re-install with deletion didn't work.
wsl -l -v showed list of three processes but wsl -t docker-desktop responded with "There is no distribution with the supplied name." only. wsl --shutdown either didn't work.
Solution is next door wsl --unregister docker-desktop . After this all went fine.
I ran the following command which resolved the issue for me.
wsl --unregister docker-desktop
Please make sure your OS type requires WSL or Hyper-V to run docker as per this official link 👉 https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/
For my case, I am using Windows 11 Home OS, and it requires WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) to run docker. So that I installed WSL on my system.
Follow this link to install WSL 👉 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual#step-4---download-the-linux-kernel-update-package
After that restart your system, then open docker (It may take up to 10 secs to start)
Hope it may solve your issue✌️
Exactly the same problem as Ubuntu WSL with docker could not be found
$ docker
The command 'docker' could not be found in this WSL 1 distro.
We recommend to convert this distro to WSL 2 and activate
the WSL integration in Docker Desktop settings.
See https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/wsl/ for details.
But my requirement is different -- I want to
stick with WSL1 (for reasons beyond this topic)
and use Docker for Windows as-is
I.e., I have WSL1 and Docker for Windows installed parallel to each other. This is my current info:
C:> ver
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.1379]
C:> wsl -l -v
NAME STATE VERSION
* Debian Running 1
I don't see integration in "Resources -> WSL Integration", and I don't have WSL2 backend enabled in Docker Desktop settings.
Just that I'm getting the above problem -- my docker works anywhere, in CMD, Powershell, git-bash, etc, just not in my WSL.
All solutions that I found are to install Docker for Windows within WSL1 or WSL2, but I want to keep everything as is -- WSL and Docker for Windows installed parallel to each other.
Any solution for that?
The command 'docker' could not be found in this WSL 1 distro.
We recommend to convert this distro to WSL 2 and activate
the WSL integration in Docker Desktop settings.
This means in WSL2, it has a real linux kernel which is required to install docker daemon, then in docker-desktop you could have chance to set docker daemon in WSL2. Otherwise, the docker daemon is running in Hyper-V machine. But, if you stick in WSL1, no chance to run docker-daemon in WSL, so the only option is running docker daemon in Hyper-V machine.
Although above is the fact, still we have chance to let you operate docker ps, docker pull etc. in WSL1 bash just like you operate through CMD, Powershell, git-bash, that is allow Docker to accept requests from remote hosts.
For your case, the steps maybe next:
1. Expose docker daemon in docker desktop settings as next, then click Apply & Restart:
2. Install standalone docker client in WSL1:
$ wget https://download.docker.com/linux/static/stable/x86_64/docker-20.10.5.tgz
$ tar zxvf docker-20.10.5.tgz
$ cd docker
3. Set default docker daemon:
$ export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://localhost:2375
4. Verify docker client command:
$ ./docker info
Just FTA, this is the quick hacky workaround that I found, while trying to solve it myself
Change the C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin\docker file to
#!/usr/bin/env sh
#
# Copyright (c) Docker Inc.
binary=$(basename "$0")
"$binary.exe" "$#"
Then docker can work anywhere now, in CMD, Powershell, git-bash, and as well as WSL1.
Note that this hacky workaround is specially for the situation described in OP, might not work for anything else.
I ran the same issue with Ubuntu 20 Distro when trying to use Docker. Below are steps i followed to resole it:
1- I went to microsoft Store and downloaded a recent distro version of the distro, that was Ubuntu 22.04
2- On powershell as admin, i ran the command wsl -l -v to make sure i have the new version
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> wsl -l -v
NAME STATE VERSION
* Ubuntu Stopped 1
Ubuntu-22.04 Stopped 2
docker-desktop-data Stopped 2
docker-desktop Stopped 2
3- i ran the command: wsl --set-default Ubuntu-22.04 to use wsl 2
I wan now able to use Docker on WSL 2
I'm going through this tutorial
Dockerizing Flask With Compose and Machine - From Localhost to the Cloud
When trying to create a virtualbox with the command below
docker-machine create -d virtualbox dev;
I have the following error
Error creating machine : Error in driver during machine creation. This computer doesn't have VT-X/AMD enabled. Enabling it in the BIOS is mandatory
(Addendum: I'm running an ubuntu image on a virtual box. The physical host is a windows machine. The VT VT-X/AMD is enabled both , in the bios and in the virtualbox.)
Reading here and there, it seems to be a normal behavior because I'm trying to create a virtualbox within a virtualbox -> Click here for the explanation
What command should I use instead of docker-machine ?
Any insights are more than welcomed ...
Update: I've asked 3 additional questions to #VonC after his initial answer. Please find the questions below , in italic
1) How should I make the virtualbox and the docker config see that new "virtualbox"?
2) Will the ubuntu box, be able to do the docker-compose and build the container on that host?
3) If I'm pulling an image like debian, how can I use it as a machine and build an container on top of it?
If you do not want to change the BIOS settings, please run the below command.
I have the same problem because I have Hyper-V manager installed in my Windows 8 server. To avoid this issue I ran the below with the below option
--virtualbox-no-vtx-check
Example: docker-machine create default --virtualbox-no-vtx-check
I'm in a VM already , running ubuntu. Physical host is a windows machine
Then you don't need docker-machine.
You would create a small Linux image from windows with (again, type in a regular Windows CMD shell)
docker-machine create -d virtualbox dev
But on a full-fledged Ubuntu VM, you just need to install docker and run it directly.
If you need to use docker-machine, just copy (on Windows) v0.6.0-rc1/docker-machine_windows-amd64.exe as docker-machine.exe anywhere you want.
Also: set VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH=C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\ (if your VirtualBox is installed there)
You now can use docker-machine -d virtualbox dev.
2) Will the ubuntu box, be able to do the docker-compose and build the container on that host?
Yes, no issue there. The installation is straightforward.
3) If I'm pulling an image like debian, how can I use it as a machine and build an container on top of it?
You simply write a Dockerfile starting with FROM debian:jessie (see an example here), add some commands (RUN, COPY, ...): for instance:
FROM debian:stable
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --force-yes apache2
EXPOSE 80 443
VOLUME ["/var/www", "/var/log/apache2", "/etc/apache2"]
ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/sbin/apache2ctl", "-D", "FOREGROUND"]
Build it (docker build .)and run it (docker run).
How can I share a folder between my Windows files and a docker container, by mounting a volume with simple --volume command using Docker Toolbox on?
I'm using "Docker Quickstart Terminal" and when I try this:
winpty docker run -it --rm --volume /C/Users/myuser:/myuser ubuntu
I have this error:
Invalid value "C:\\Users\\myuser\\:\\myuser" for flag --volume: bad mount mode specified : \myuser
See 'docker run --help'.
Following this, I also tried
winpty docker run -it --rm --volume "//C/Users/myuser:/myuser" ubuntu
and got
Invalid value "\\\\C:\\Users\\myuser\\:\\myuser" for flag --volume: \myuser is not an absolute path
See 'docker run --help'.
This is an improvement of the selected answer because that answer is limited to c:\Users folder. If you want to create a volume using a directory outside of c:\Users this is an extension.
In windows 7, I used docker toolbox. It used Virtual Box.
Open virtual box
Select the machine (in my case default).
Right clicked and select settings option
Go to Shared Folders
Include a new machine folder.
For example, in my case I have included:
**Name**: c:\dev
**Path**: c/dev
Click and close
Open "Docker Quickstart Terminal" and restart the docker machine.
Use this command:
$ docker-machine restart
To verify that it worked, following these steps:
SSH to the docker machine.
Using this command:
$ docker-machine ssh
Go to the folder that you have shared/mounted.
In my case, I use this command
$ cd /c/dev
Check the user owner of the folder. You could use "ls -all" and verify that the owner will be "docker"
You will see something like this:
docker#default:/c/dev$ ls -all
total 92
drwxrwxrwx 1 docker staff 4096 Feb 23 14:16 ./
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 80 Feb 24 09:01 ../
drwxrwxrwx 1 docker staff 4096 Jan 16 09:28 my_folder/
In that case, you will be able to create a volume for that folder.
You can use these commands:
docker create -v /c/dev/:/app/dev --name dev image
docker run -d -it --volumes-from dev image
or
docker run -d -it -v /c/dev/:/app/dev image
Both commands work for me. I hope this will be useful.
This is actually an issue of the project and there are 2 working workarounds:
Creating a data volume:
docker create -v //c/Users/myuser:/myuser --name data hello-world
winpty docker run -it --rm --volumes-from data ubuntu
SSHing directly in the docker host:
docker-machine ssh default
And from there doing a classic:
docker run -it --rm --volume /c/Users/myuser:/myuser ubuntu
If you are looking for the solution that will resolve all the Windows issues and make it work on the Windows OS in the same way as on Linux, then see below. I tested this and it works in all cases. I’m showing also how I get it (the steps and thinking process). I've also wrote an article about using Docker and dealing with with docker issues here.
Solution 1: Use VirtualBox (if you think it's not good idea see Solution 2 below)
Open VirtualBox (you have it already installed along with the docker tools)
Create virtual machine
(This is optional, you can skip it and forward ports from the VM) Create second ethernet card - bridged, this way it will receive IP address from your network (it will have IP like docker machine)
Install Ubuntu LTS which is older than 1 year
Install docker
Add shared directories to the virtual machine and automount your project directories (this way you have access to the project directory from Ubuntu) but still can work in Windows
Done
Bonus:
Everything is working the same way as on Linux
Pause/Unpause the dockerized environment whenever you want
Solution 2: Use VirtualBox (this is very similar to the solution 1 but it shows also the thinking process, which might be usefull when solving similar issues)
Read that somebody move the folders to /C/Users/Public and that works https://forums.docker.com/t/sharing-a-volume-on-windows-with-docker-toolbox/4953/2
Try it, realize that it doesn’t have much sense in your case.
Read entire page here https://github.com/docker/toolbox/issues/607 and try all solutions listed on page
Find this page (the one you are reading now) and try all the solutions from other comments
Find somewhere information that setting COMPOSE_CONVERT_WINDOWS_PATHS=1 environment variable might solve the issue.
Stop looking for the solution for few months
Go back and check the same links again
Cry deeply
Feel the enlightenment moment
Open VirtualBox (you have it already installed along with the docker tools)
Create virtual machine with second ethernet card - bridged, this way it will receive IP address from your network (it will have IP like docker machine)
Install Ubuntu LTS which is very recent (not older than few months)
Notice that the automounting is not really working and the integration is broken (like clipboard sharing etc.)
Delete virtual machine
Go out and have a drink
Rent expensive car and go with high speed on highway
Destroy the car and die
Respawn in front of your PC
Install Ubuntu LTS which is older than 1 year
Try to run docker
Notice it’s not installed
Install docker by apt-get install docker
Install suggested docker.io
Try to run docker-compose
Notice it’s not installed
apt get install docker-compose
Try to run your project with docker-compose
Notice that it’s old version
Check your power level (it should be over 9000)
Search how to install latest version of docker and find the official guide https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/
Uninstall the current docker-compose and docker.io
Install docker using the official guide https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/
Add shared directories to the virtual machine and automount your project directories (this way you have access to the project directory from Ubuntu, so you can run any docker command)
Done
As of August 2016 Docker for windows now uses hyper-v directly instead of virtualbox, so I think it is a little different. First share the drive in settings then use the C: drive letter format, but use forward slashes. For instance I created an H:\t\REDIS directory and was able to see it mounted on /data in the container with this command:
docker run -it --rm -v h:/t/REDIS:/data redis sh
The same format, using drive letter and a colon then forward slashes for the path separator worked both from windows command prompt and from git bash.
I found this question googling to find an answer, but I couldn't find anything that worked. Things would seem to work with no errors being thrown, but I just couldn't see the data on the host (or vice-versa). Finally I checked out the settings closely and tried the format they show:
So first, you have to share the whole drive to the docker vm in settings here, I think that gives the 'docker-machine' vm running in hyper-v access to that drive. Then you have to use the format shown there, which seems to only exist in this one image and in no documentation or questions I could find on the web:
docker run --rm -v c:/Users:/data alpine ls /data
Simply using double leading slashes worked for me on Windows 7:
docker run --rm -v //c/Users:/data alpine ls /data/
Taken from here: https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/12590
Try this:
Open Docker Quickstart Terminal. If it is already open, run $ cd ~ to make sure you are in Windows user directory.
$ docker run -it -v /$(pwd)/ubuntu:/windows ubuntu
It will work if the error is due to typo. You will get an empty folder named ubuntu in your user directory. You will see this folder with the name windows in your ubuntu container.
For those using Virtual Box who prefer command-line approach
1) Make sure the docker-machine is not running
Docker Quickstart Terminal:
docker-machine stop
2) Create the sharing Windows <-> docker-machine
Windows command prompt:
(Modify following to fit your scenario. I feed my Apache httpd container from directory synced via Dropbox.)
set VBOX=D:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe
set VM_NAME=default
set NAME=c/htdocs
set HOSTPATH=%DROPBOX%\htdocs
"%VBOX%" sharedfolder add "%VM_NAME%" --name "%NAME%" --hostpath "%HOSTPATH%" --automount
3) Start the docker-machine and mount the volume in a new container
Docker Quickstart Terminal:
(Again, I am starting an Apache httpd container, hence that port exposing.)
docker-machine start
docker run -d --name my-apache-container-0 -p 80:80 -v /c/htdocs:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs my-apache-image:1.0
share folders virtualBox toolbox and windows 7 and nodejs image container
using...
Docker Quickstart Terminal [QST]
Windows Explorer [WE]
lets start...
[QST] open Docker Quickstart Terminal
[QST] stop virtual-machine
$ docker-machine stop
[WE] open a windows explorer
[WE] go to the virtualBox installation dir
[WE] open a cmd and execute...
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage sharedfolder add "default" --name
"/d/SVN_FOLDERS/X2R2_WP6/nodejs" --hostpath "\?\d:\SVN_FOLDERS\X2R2_WP6\nodejs" --automount
check in the oracle virtual machine, that the new shared folder has appeared
[QST] start virtual-machine
$ docker-machine start
[QST] run container nodejs
docker stop nodejs
docker rm nodejs
docker run -d -it --rm --name nodejs -v /d/SVN_FOLDERS/X2R2_WP6/nodejs:/usr/src/app -w /usr/src/app node2
[QST] open bash to the container
docker exec -i -t nodejs /bin/bash
[QST] execute dir and you will see the shared files
I solved it!
Add a volume:
docker run -d -v my-named-volume:C:\MyNamedVolume testimage:latest
Mount a host directory:
docker run -d -v C:\Temp\123:C:\My\Shared\Dir testimage:latest
