I am totally confused with this. I have installed boot2docker on Windows. I started it using boot2docker start icon. It has launched successfully. I tried out all the docker commands like pull attach run etc. Everything works fine. But when i try
boot2docker ip
It says
-sh : boot2docker not found.
What's the problem? Am i in wrong directory? or installation done wrongly? Any suggestions.
The windows version of boot2docker doesn't have a native client (unlike the MacOS version). This means that when you launch boot2docker, you're inside the Virtualbox VM. As boot2docker is installed on your host, it's not available from there. You can just open a new shell or dos prompt to run boot2docker commands (assuming your path is set up).

can not run docker on windows7 command after installation, and there is nothing in virtualbox.
I have tried uninstall and install other versions, run install application administrately and try another dirver but above does not work.
...
when installation finished, i clicked the docker quickstart terminal, and it show me this error message:
dial tcp 127.0.0.1:53822: connectex: No connection could be made because the tar
get machine actively refused it.
Looks like something went wrong in step ´Checking if machine default exists´...
Press any key to continue...
Just a reminder, there are sort of 3 ways to use docker on Windows, if one doesn't work you may want to try another one:
use docker Desktop: it requires windows 10 Pro (In fact Hyper-V maybe it's an option for you)
use docker Toolbox: the one you may have installed on windows 7, it uses Virtualbox and a docker machine VM.
use Virtualbox directly: install a linux distribution with shared folder only for your docker usage
Now since you are on option 2, you should have a virtualbox installed, so you can check if the underlying docker machine is launched by launching virtualbox, it should list the installed vm.
If the vm is not started: you will have to search the problem on virtualbox side, error logs or popup: trying to launch the vm manually directly from virtualbox application will help you
If the vm is started: there may be a connection problem between your host (windows) and your vm (boot2docker), you could try to connect to the vm via bash using "boot2docker ssh" as it is indicated in the quick start. If it works, the connection problem could come from a firewall.
Check if the quick start happened correctly when you have luanched it.
I don't want to make proselitism on other solution, but it may be simpler to use a linux directly in virtualbox (option 3), at least at the beginning to get more familar with docker.
The other simpler option would be to use windows 10
I'm sorry it's not a complete solution, but indications, and it was too long for a comment.
docker server is not running properly. check is you can run docker ps or docker version command successfully.
I have Windows 10 with Windows Subsystem for Linux installed (Bash on Ubuntu on Windows), have Docker installed on Windows, and a Docker client running on the linux subsystem per this walkthrough. All works well, however, when I want to be able to access a volume on my default mount "/mnt/c/../". I am using the mount flags at docker launch and have tried both:
docker run -v $PWD:/mount
docker run --mount type=bind,source="$(PWD)",target=/mount
and most variations shown here.
I have reason to think this is a permissions issue. When launching from the linux subsystem, there is always one empty folder from the original source directory. When launching from windows powershell, everything is fine. The only difference between the two would be the docker client being used.
I have shared C in the docker host settings in windows, however, do I need to do something similar for the client inside of windows subsystem for linux?
Versions:
Docker client: Docker version 18.03.0-ce, build 0520e24
Docker host: Docker version 18.03.0-ce-win59 (16762)
I had the same issue with the same set-up. After a lot of trial and error and googling, here is what resolved the issue:
Change Windows password to not include special characters.
Reset credentials for docker.
Worked! Weird bug.
I'm trying install and runing docker on Windows 10, but I'm stuck in this error,
I'm following these steps
Install Virtual Box
Turn off the Hyper-V
Restart PC
docker-machine create box
Turn on the Hyper-V
Restart PC
docker-machine start box
Error
This is a known VirtualBox bug. Let's try to recover anyway...
Error setting up host only network on machine start: The host-only adapter we just created is not visible. This is a well known VirtualBox bug. You might want to uninstall it and reinstall at least version 5.0.12 that is is supposed to fix this issue
I read this github issue e also this one , but still with the same error.
Someone can help me ?
I'm using VirtualBox version 5.2.8-121009-Win
Some commands and results
docker ps

In the default 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.

Based on your comments above it sounds like you are either following an old tutorial (before Docker for Windows) or following a tutorial for devices which do not meet the requirements for Docker for Windows (i.e. for Windows 10 Home). Given you are turning off Hyper-V I'm going to assume you are using Windows 10 Pro.
The latest version of Docker for Windows does not use the docker-machine command, and will instead create a VM for you in Hyper-V 'behind the scenes'. You should be able to get away with just installing Docker for Windows
I am on a Mac. I installed docker and ran the terminal. It starts the virtual machine. Now I want to install VirtualBox but the installation program complains that there is a virtual machine running that I must stop first. I exited the terminal and it said things about saving stuff but the VirtualBox installation program still says I need to stop a virtual machine. How do I do that? Since I don't have Virtualbox installed yet I don't know how to access it...
And now I feel silly, but the command is:
docker-machine stop
You can try these commands, to start or stop your default docker machine
To start docker - docker-machine start
To stop docker - docker-machine stop
PS C:\Users\me> boot2docker start
Waiting for VM and Docker daemon to start...
...........ooooo
Started.
Writing C:\Users\me\.boot2docker\certs\boot2docker-vm\ca.pem C:\Users\me\.boot2docker\certs\boot2docker-vm\cert.pem C:\Users\me\.boot2docker\certs\boot2docker-vm\key.pem
**Docker client does not run on Windows for now. Please use
"C:\Program Files\Boot2Docker for Windows\boot2docker.exe" ssh
to SSH into the VM instead.**
How to resole this error?
See b2d.bat as an example of a script launching a boot2docker session:
#echo off
boot2docker start
boot2docker ssh
(with boot2docker.exe being in your %PATH%, like C:\Program Files\Boot2Docker for Windows)
You need both steps:
the boot2docker start starts the VirtualBox Tiny Core VM (if it was already started, it does nothing)
the boot2docker ssh opens an interactive ssh session to that VM.
Docker CLI 1.6 is available for Windows.

Incase you still dont know how to fix it: just install the latest v1.6 version and it will support windows cmd.exe
