You may need to enable virtualization on your processor, which involves changing BIOS settings. When you run Docker for the first time, it will check that Hyper-V is enabled and if not, enable it for you. If you use any other virtual machines (including Vagrant), then you're out of luck. One of the first gotchas to look out for when using Docker natively on Windows is that it needs Virtualization and Hyper-V (Windows native virtualization) enabled this will cause VirtualBox to stop working. But even to use Docker Toolbox, you will still need a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or later. If your computer or OS doesn't meet requirements, then you can still use the older Docker Toolbox version that uses VirtualBox. Microsoft Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise 64-bit VirtualBox prior to version 4.3.30 must not be installed, as it will cause issues with Docker for Mac Docker for Windows and MacĪs the application uses newer technologies only available in newer machines and OS versions, it has minimum requirements, which are:Ī 2010 or newer model, with Intel's hardware support for memory management unit (MMU) virtualization I am by no means an advanced Docker user, but I hope having everything you need in one place is helpful to you. This post is intended as a getting-started overview alongside tips and gotchas that I noticed whilst using Docker on different platforms. These changes aim to make your Docker containers run faster than before, take up less disk space, and fit better into your operating system. Docker for Windows uses Microsoft's virtualization technology, Hyper-V.
It worked well but could be unreliable at times and required workarounds that sometimes resulted in unexpected outcomes or not working at all.ĭocker for Mac instead uses virtualization technology that is already part of Mac OS X: HyperVisor. The previous solution, Docker Toolbox, depended on VirtualBox to create a small Linux virtual machine that hosted your images and containers. Released earlier in 2017, Docker's new native applications for Windows and Mac replaced the older methods for running Docker on Windows and Mac and created a better experience for developers using those platforms.
