I'm impressed how quickly they jumped on board and started working on support though. OSX is supposedly the developers environment of choice these days; where is Apple on native docker support?
- mr_toad 8y agoYou mean Docker running under a native hypervisor (Docker already supports Hyperkit), or a Docker machine running something other than Linux? Docker is so dependant on Linux that any attempt to write a native containerisation for another OS would mean starting from scratch. And the licensing of both Windows and MacOS would make it a non-starter.
- techntoke 8y agoThis is the only way I could get Docker volumes to work correctly with WSL, and it only works about half the time: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/virtualization/2017/12/08/wsl-interoperability-with-docker/ https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/virtualization/2017/12/0...
- ComputerGuru 8y agoMicrosoft already has a version of docker that runs Windows on host and guest
- Too 8y agoDocker on windows host runs in a virtualbox running linux last time i checked.
- ComputerGuru 8y agoThere are two different editions. The more popular runs a Linux kernel in a spun up HyperV instance, but the Windows-only solution has images built off of Windows Nano Server instead of Linux. Their docker images/apps are incompatible.
- Too 8y agoAh ok, but HyperV is not available on Windows Home editions :( Do you know if it's possible to run Docker with high performance on Windows Home?
- vishalh 8y agoNo, docker toolbox is broken. The best option right now is to upgrade to pro or dual boot.
- tomjakubowski 8y agoHyperV is outstanding and I don't regret paying for the Pro upgrade to get it.
- Rapzid 8y agoThis, although I wish running a desktop guest Dev environment were a better experience :| The new enhanced session Linux turned out to be pretty lackluster.
- justincormack 8y agoThere is native Docker support for running Windows containers, either using Hyper-V on Windows 10 or natively without any virtualization on Windows server.
- mr_toad 8y agoWindows Server Containers are a ground up build of containers, not a port of Docker. You don’t even need Docker to manage them.
- ComputerGuru 8y agoYes. But there is a port of docker to manage them so people who insist on using only docker can continue to do so without having to risk learning a new technology.
- justincormack 8y agoTechnically a native OSX Docker port is possible, although with some limitations (no bind mounts is going to make it a bit weird). There is not really much call for it, as it is not a server OS.
