I installed the latest version of Docker for windows in my windows 10 machine. It seems the new Docker Desktop toolbox doesn't contain the Quick start terminal. Every documentation says to check the quick start terminal option at the time of installation. I dont see any option to check that option with the latest Docker toolbox.
Is there any way we could install Quick start terminal for windows.
Or are there any other alternate to the QS terminal. My objective is to build, tag and push / pull docker images to a gitlab registry. Powershell, command promt doesn't work because its a windows machine.
with the new Docker-for-desktop versions there's no need for the added toolbox as marked here
Legacy desktop solution. Docker Toolbox is for older Mac and Windows
systems that do not meet the requirements of Docker for Mac and
Docker for Windows. We recommend updating to the newer applications,
if possible.
You can just open any typical terminal in your OS of choice and use the docker cli if you can't remember the exact usage try docker --help 😉
I am using windows 10 Home. But with this edition I am unable to use docker or oracle vm virtualbox. So can I use Podman in place of docker? If yes then what is it's command?
At this date, the answer is no, you cannot use podman to run containers on Windows 10 Home.
Podman is very much a Linux program at this point. This big issue that I see for podman is the file system layering code. Given that podman is developed by Red Hat, it will probably require a partnership with Microsoft to make this happen. In that regard, Microsoft is developing their own tools for containers.
Now Podman is supported on Windows.
Refer: https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/docs/tutorials/podman-for-windows.md
I have a M5000 Sparc server which I have installed a solaris Os version 11.3 (SunOS RT5 5.11 11.3 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise) on it. Is it possible to install docker-ce on this machine? I have tested some workaround like using MobyProject (opensource docker) but non of them helped. What is the solution for dockerization on sparc systems?
There currently is not any support of Docker on Solaris. Oracle's container solution for Solaris has been Oracle Solaris Zones. There has been talk of supporting Docker on Solaris according to the Docker community forums, but there hasn't been any recent update on the actual timeline/roadmap. Please check out the Docker Community Forum thread
I am getting below error When I try to install Docker on Windows 10 Home Edition.
[21:20:49.129] [InstallWorkflow] Pre-requisite failed: Docker for Windows requires Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise version 14393, or Windows server 2016 RTM to run
Can I Install Docker on Windows 10 Home Edition?
Edit Windows Version in Registry
Press Windows + R and write regedit
In the Registry Editor, go to \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
Right-click on EditionID and Click Modify
Change Value Data to "Professional"
Press OK.
Install Docker
After the installation, you can change the EditionID back to "Core"
As the error says, you cannot use Docker in the Home edition. You need "Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise version 14393, or Windows server 2016 RTM."
Check out their documentation here, which mentions, on 04/05/2018:
The current version of Docker for Windows runs on 64bit Windows 10
Pro, Enterprise and Education (1607 Anniversary Update, Build 14393 or
later).
As already mentioned in the comments, you might want to try the legacy Docker Toolbox:
Docker Toolbox is for older Mac and Windows systems that do not meet
the requirements of Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows.
Docker for Windows requires Hyper-V which is not included in Home edition.
You'll need to upgrade Windows to the Education or Pro edition.
https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/#what-to-know-before-you-install
Also see this comment on GitHub.
You can already install Docker Desktop on Windows 10 Home.
This is how I did it:
You need to join Windows Insiders Program because you need WSL 2
You need to download the specific version of Docker Desktop: https://download-stage.docker.com/win/edge/41944/Docker%20Desktop%20Installer.exe which has a required change - allows install it on Windows 10 Home.
Those who have Windows Home Edition can now download and install Docker Desktop from below link.
https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install-windows-home/
Although not on Win10 Home per se, for evaluation purposes you can install Docker Desktop on a Win10 Pro virtual machine (VMWare player is my personal choice). You'll need to install VMWare Workstation Player which is free, and obtain a perfectly legal Win10 Pro image from microsoft directly here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Be sure to activate the virtualization engine of the machine as Docker relies on Hyper-V:
This is how I resolved the problem. (OS- windows 10 home)
Join windows insider program. It enables you to update latest content of windows 10. You can find it in the start-> settings. Make sure to select Release Preview in the Insider program.(otherwise you will not get latest updates. After the installation you can pause frequent updates)
Check for windows update and update windows to latest version.(This will take awhile)
Install WSL 2 Linux kernel
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-kernel
I had below issue because I have tried to install this before updating windows. Please read the document carefully and follow steps.
If the installer cant find WSL 1 right click the Linux kernel update
installer, then press uninstall then rerun the installer
Now you are ready to update to WSL 2. Follow steps of this doc
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
Open PowerShell as Administrator and run:
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart
Enable the 'Virtual Machine Platform'
Open PowerShell as Administrator and run:
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart
Restart your machine to complete the WSL install and update to WSL 2.
You can verify whether this by looking at task manager.
*Set WSL 2 as your default version
In PowerShell: wsl --set-default-version 2
Now you can install docker desktop version.
Finally https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/
This might not work for some. If you find any issues please post. I'll try to help.
This might help someone who cannot upgrade their system to pro or professional. Consider installing Docker Toolbox on Windows. For mac users: Docker Toolbox on Mac
Legacy desktop solution. Docker Toolbox is for older Mac and Windows systems that do not meet the requirements of 'Docker Desktop for Mac' and 'Docker Toolbox on Windows'. We recommend updating to the newer applications, if possible.
As per documentation, the toolbox includes these Docker tools:
Docker Machine for running docker-machine commands
Docker Engine for running the docker commands
Docker Compose for running the docker-compose commands
Kitematic, the Docker GUI
a shell preconfigured for a Docker command-line environment
Oracle VirtualBox
Get the latest update from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 and it will work.
First of all I'd like to thank the previous respondents to this questions - saved me a lot of time and yes, they are both correct.
Secondly as a small completion to their answer, in case you are wondering where you can get a Pro version of Windows without breaking the bank, you can get a relatively cheap and legal Windows 10 pro cd-key from ebay and upgrade you version from Windows settings -> Activation.
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=windows+10+pro&_sacat=0&_sop=15
Just make sure you read the sold product description well and eventually the reviews if there are so that you know what to expect (if you encounter any issue, ebay will refund your purchase).
Best of luck to you all!
We are currently running Red Hat 5. But I saw documentation that says docker is only supported on Red Hat 7. So we have to upgrade to Red Hat 7 or we can't use docker at all on RHEL 5? Alternatively we can consider to switch to Ubuntu.
How do others solve the similar issue?
You will need to upgrade from RHEL5 to use Docker.
The official Docker release deprecated RHEL6 support from 1.7 (and inadvertently broke it in 1.7.0 but fixed in 1.7.1). Support for RHEL6 was dropped in Docker 1.8. Since then, a RHEL7 based distro with a 3.10+ kernel has been required.
There is a docker-io-1.7.1-2 package available on EPEL for RHEL6.5+ based distros. RHEL6 runs an older 2.6 kernel with back ported fixes so docker can work. This kernel must be at 2.6.32-431 or higher.
RHEL doesn't support AUFS which is the most commonly used Docker storage driver. By default RHEL uses a loopback storage driver which is not production ready. The EPEL packages provide docker-storage-setup to setup thin provisioned LVM. You need to do this setup manually if you want to run the docker.com packages.
Personally I would recommend going with a recent debian based distribution running the official docker packages for timely updates. If you are on EC2, Amazons AMI will do nicely though.
