Also, unlike Docker for Mac, you cannot run any version of VirtualBox, VMWare or any other Type 2 hypervisor along with Docker for Windows. That’s because Docker for Windows uses Hyper-V under the hood which is a Type 1 hypervisor. Docker Toolbox. If you can’t run Docker for Mac or Docker for Windows then there’s the Docker Toolbox.
I have Windows 10 Home edition, therefore I had to install Docker Toolbox instead of Docker. I am using Visual Studio Code for development and it has extension for Docker Support which adds integration for the most common Docker commands. Unfortunately it does not work in my case (output from Visual Studio Code terminal): C: Users Konrad workspace docker-testsdocker build.t docker-whale An error occurred trying to connect: Post oupparent=&cpuperiod=0&cpuquota=0&cpusetcpus=&cpusetmems=&cpushares=0&dockerfile=Dockerfile&labels=%7B%7D&memory =0&memswap=0&rm=1&shmsize=0&t=docker-whale&ulimits=null: open //./pipe/dockerengine: The system cannot find the file specified. The same command works just fine in Docker Quickstart Terminal.
Is it possible to configure Visual Studio Code to use docker in the same way as 'Docker Quickstart Terminal' does? I should change some system configuration to be able to use it?
Docker Toolbox and the Devilbox Docker Toolbox is a legacy solution to bring Docker to systems which don’t natively support Docker. This is achieved by starting a virtualized Linux instance (e.g.: inside VirtualBox) and have Docker run inside this machine. You don’t have to take care about setting up the virtual machine, this is done automatically with the provided setup file (Windows and MacOS). However, there are a few stumbling blocks you need to pay attention to in order to use the Devilbox at its full potential.
