NOTE: THIS HEADLINE DOES NOT MEAN THAT DOCKER WORKS IN WINDOWS
I have spent all day today trying to switch from running Docker in a Vagrant to running Docker for windows and can say without question that Docker and Windows are incompatible as of today.
Specific issues are numerous, but primarily it is slow, and has stupid defaults, volumes will drive you nuts, don't use with cygwin or Ubuntu for Windows either (volumes won't work) and expect everything to crash your terminals.
- anime_forever 8y agoI use docker every day with windows without serious issues, what problem exactly are you seeing?
- ttty 8y agoI'm using docker right now on my win 10 64bit pro
- amirhirsch 8y agoYea me too finally. Switched from running in vagrant today and it shouldn't have felt like an achievement. It should work in cygwin and ubuntu for windows sanely, but it doesn't and it's pretty slow and temperamental so I'm not sure how many re-installs or restarts will be required tomorrow. We had issues with our redis dataset being too large for the default memory allocation settings. Here's a relevant ticket if it's running slowly for you you might get some pointers: https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/1936 https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/1936
- sbhn 8y agoThe trick is to install the legacy docker toolbox with kitematic and docker-compose. The desktop shortcuts dont wirk, so you will need to also fix those. You will also need ensure you are using the oracle vm virtual box. Its all a real pain to get to work, but it seems to be ok, for simple projects.
