Setting up Hyper-V and network connections So how do you install Docker Machine on Windows with Hyper-V? Here we go. That’s the boot2docker VM on Windows with either VirtualBox either Hyper-V, plain old Docker on Linux etc.ĭocker still recommends using VirtualBox on Windows, but Docker Machine supports tons of other drivers: AWS, Digital Ocean, Google Compute, Azure, Rackspace, Hyper-V… ![]() It automagically (well, most of the time) picks the best way to set up Docker in your environment. TL DR: Docker Machine is a cross platform utility to help you set up, manage and connect to Docker. I guess that this has been possible since boot2docker was released, but it wasn’t that straightforward to set up at the time. Time to fix that! You can now use Hyper-V to run the boot2docker VM and connect to Docker on Windows. ![]() Scott Hanselman figured out a way to make switching between the two a little bit less painful, but you still had to reboot your machine if you wanted to use VirtualBox. If you use Hyper-V regularly, you’ll notice that you can’t have it both ways. ![]() Still, setting everything up could be a PITA and you had to install Oracle VirtualBox to use it as Docker containers were actually run inside of a VM (which was the purpose of boot2docker). Docker is awesome, right? And thanks to boot2docker Windows users were no longer left out of the fun.
