"Free" 😑

I mean, I also have a Linux install that I could probably install Docker in (and probably will). But I only have Windows 10 Home, so I guess running Docker on Windows isn't happening. 😒

@-Tor I saw the warning about VB becoming unusable if I use Docker. That is lame.

I think it uses some of hyper v feature.

docked isn't forcing you to buy windows

Docker is free. Windows isn't, and Hyper-V on Windows isn't. I don't see the problem here.

@-Tor that's only if you use the default settings (through hyper-v), you can run Docker through virtualbox so it ignores the hyper-v problem (the problem with running hyper-v and virtualbox at the same time)

@NeedsMoreDivs
And you should be able to run it on windows home

But note you can't use the easy one click installer from "Docker for windows"
Just install it the normal way 😉

@NeedsMoreDivs VB = Visual Basic?

When installing for windows you'll need Docker machine. Just install the Docker Toolbox, and use the default address 192.168.99.100 instead of localhost when trying to access a web server container.

Windows Home is like Ubuntu. It works but it sucks.

@sunfishcc not some feature. It uses hyper V to run mobylinux so Linux containers can be run. They need a Linux kernel after all.

That is also the reason you need Pro+

@Jilano oh that makes more sense

@RememberMe ah that figures. I guess my first impression when I went to install it was that it was a bit odd. I think I also had hyper-v confused with something else in my head at first. Made me wonder if the requirement was arbitrary, but I guess not.

@Jilano @devTea yes sorry. I was just being lazy in my typing last night. Lol

@NeedsMoreDivs In their defense, Windows Home is meant for basic users, those who require office, internet, music and video playback.

Not sure why Docker needs to be supported there, when the system itself is only meant for basic usage and not for technical people.

@gitpush because Windows isnt supposed to be fucking iOS. Not even Apple has paid "pro" features in its OSX...

@gitpush point taken.

Off topic, but if there's a @gitpush, is there a @gitpull?

Edit: dang it.

@NeedsMoreDivs lol there used to be a full gang of git, most changed their name :\

@theKarlisK just saw your comment lol. Point well made.

@incognito I was gonna ask that about using it with VirtualBox (there, @devTea, I spelled it out 😛). I thought I read somewhere a while ago that that's how it ran on Windows. Don't mind using it that way since I'm just getting started.

You can run docker inside the Linux sub system for windows

I see the problem here, it says Windows.

@mundo03 welcome to the incorrect rant that keeps getting upvoted. 🙃

Yeah, Windows. But at the same time, I'm not *as* anti-Windows as I used to be. Just still have some things that frustrate me from time to time.

That said, I'm still looking to dump Windows simply because I like working in/using Linux better. Just need to get some things down about using MS's dev VMs, imaging, and file system access (so I can run MS Office on the rare occasion I can't get away with using Google Docs).
