Docker Toolbox

⚠️ Deprecation Notice: This project and repository is now deprecated and is no longer in active development. Please use Docker Desktop instead where possible. Docker Desktop

Docker released the Docker Toolbox project to make it easier for developers who work on Mac and Windows to get started using Docker. In 2016 Docker released Docker Desktop which superseded toolbox and was significantly easier for the majority of users to get started. This still left some users behind, predominantly users who were on Windows Home editions, Windows 7, Windows 8 and users of VirtualBox.
Since 2016 there have been a number of changes. Windows 7 is no longer supported and the mainstream support of Windows 8.1 has ended. The majority of Windows users are now on a version of Windows 10. Since VirtualBox 6.0 users have been able to run VirtualBox and Hyper-V at the same time on their Windows machines, allowing users to use VirtualBox and Docker Desktop side by side on Hyper-V. For Windows Home users, WSL 2 is available and Docker Desktop now uses this to provide Desktop for Windows Home

Given these changes Docker has decided to archive the Toolbox project to allow us to make it clear that we are no longer supporting or developing this product and to give us time to focus on making further improvements to Docker Desktop.
Please provide any feedback via the Docker Public Roadmap

The Docker Toolbox installs everything you need to get started with
Docker on Mac OS X and Windows. It includes the Docker client, Compose,
Machine, Kitematic, and VirtualBox.

Installation and documentation

Documentation for Mac is available here.

Documentation for Windows is available here.

Note: Some Windows and Mac computers may not have VT-X enabled by default. It is required for VirtualBox. To check if VT-X is enabled on Windows follow this guide here. To enable VT-X on Windows, please see the guide here. To enable VT-X on Intel-based Macs, refer to this Apple guide here.
Also note that if the Virtual Machine was created before enabling VT-X it can be necessary to remove and reinstall the VM for Docker Toolbox to work.

Toolbox is currently unavailable for Linux; To get started with Docker on Linux, please follow the Linux Getting Started Guide.

Building the Docker Toolbox

Toolbox installers are built using Docker, so you’ll need a Docker host set up. For example, using Docker Machine:

$ docker-machine create -d virtualbox toolbox
$ eval "$(docker-machine env toolbox)"

Then, to build the Toolbox for both platforms:

Build for a specific platform:

or

The resulting installers will be in the dist directory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to install VirtualBox?

No, you can deselect VirtualBox during installation. It is bundled in case you want to have a working environment for free.

Introduction

Before we begin talking about how to install Docker Toolbox on Windows 7 and above, let’s briefly understand – What is Docker?

Docker is a platform that uses OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers. More than that, it is a popular tool to make build and deployments easier.

You’ll install Docker Toolbox on Windows 7 and above in this tutorial. Also, we will answer some FAQs regarding Docker installation.

Prerequisites

  • 64-bit Windows 7 (or higher)
  • Virtualization enabled

With Docker Toolbox you can use Docker on Windows systems which doesn’t meet the minimum system requirements (i.e. Windows 7) for Docker Desktop.

  • Docker-Machine
  • Kitematic, the Docker GUI
  • Docker-Engine
  • Oracle VM VirtualBox
  • Docker-Compose
  • Docker Quickstart Terminal App

Step 1 – Check your System Configuration

1) Check Windows OS version

  • Go to “Control Panel -> System and Security -> System”.

2) After that, verify if Virtualization is enabled or not?

  • Now, Go to “Task Manager -> Performance”. Check if virtualization is enabled or not.

If virtualization is not enabled in your machine, please check how to enable it in your BIOS by following your manufacturer’s instructions.

1) Visit Toolbox Releases to download the latest version of Docker Toolbox.

Note: If VirtualBox is already installed in your machine then do not reinstall it with Docker Toolbox. When prompted, uncheck it.

Shut down the already running Virtual Box before starting the installation.

Note: You will get an unsigned warning (verified publisher dialog) during the installation process as Docker no longer maintains the download.docker.com url for Docker Toolbox.

2) Double click on the installer to install Docker Toolbox.

The installer launches the “Setup – Docker Toolbox” dialog.

Choose YES, if the Windows security dialog prompts you to allow the program to make a change.

3) After that, press Next to accept all the defaults and then Install.

4) Now, you will be notified by Windows Security that the installer will make changes. Ensure you are allowing the installer to make the necessary changes.

When it completes, another dialog box will open:

5) After that, uncheck “View Shortcuts in File Explorer” and press Finish.

Step 3 – Verify Installation

Follow these steps to verify your installation:

1) Your desktop should now have the following three icons:

  • Docker Quickstart Terminal
  • Kitematic
  • Oracle VM VirtualBox

2) After that, launch the Docker Quickstart Terminal by clicking the corresponding icon. This will start the creation of the Docker machine and all its components.

  • Click near the $ symbol to activate the terminal.
  • Type the following command and press Enter:
docker run hello-world

Docker will download and run the “Hello world” container and you will get a confirmation message in the terminal.

Docker is Installed Successfully on Windows

This indicates that your Docker installation is successful.

If you followed the process and everything went well, you should have Docker installed on your Windows machine, the service should be running and waiting to host containers with various apps.

1) What is Docker Toolbox?

Docker Toolbox is an installer for quick setup and launch of a Docker environment on previous versions of Mac and Windows systems that do not meet the requirements of the new Docker Desktop.

2) Which tools are included in Docker Toolbox?

Following tools are present in Docker Toolbox:

  • Docker-Machine
  • Docker-Engine
  • Docker- Compose
  • Kitematic, the Docker GUI
  • Docker Quickstart Terminal App
  • Oracle VM VirtualBox

3) What is Docker Engine?

It is a lightweight and powerful open source containerization technology combined with a workflow for building and containerizing your applications.

4) What is Docker Kitematic?

Kitematic automates the Docker installation and setup process and provides an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) for running Docker containers.

In this guide, I will explain how to install Docker on Windows 7 and 8 using Docker Toolbox. This guide should also work on Win 10 32-bit, non-Pro, or non-Ent editions. Docker, if you do not know yet, self-contains apps, making them extremely easy to install and manage. Home Sever apps such as SickRage, Sonarr, CouchPotato, Plex, etc. can be installed in just seconds. Interesting? Read our guide on what is docker and how it is different from VirtualBox for more information on what it can do for you. We have already covered Docker setup on Ubuntu and Windows 10 64-bit Pro and Ent.

What if you have Win 10 Home? Or even Windows 7 or 8. Or what if you have VirtualBox installed on your 64-bit Win 10 Pro/Ent (installing docker would make VMs inoperable)? Fear not, in this Docker Windows guide, we will see how to install Docker for Windows 7 & 8 (all editions) and 10 (32-bit or non-Pro or non-Ent) using Docker Toolbox. This is also the guide to follow if you have Win 10 64-bit Pro or Ent and would like to keep using VirtualBox for running other VMs.

Must Read: Docker Media Server Ubuntu: Compose for 23 Awesome Apps

For simplicity all references of Windows 10 beyond this point in this guide refer to all 32-bit editions and 64-bit non-Pro or non-Ent editions. All other versions of Windows 10 already have Hyper-V and therefore docker can be installed natively instead of with Docker Toolbox.

Windows 7, 8, and some editions of Windows 10 do not have Hyper-V. Docker will not function properly on these systems. But you can install Docker using Docker Toolbox. Setting up docker using Docker Toolbox does not make Docker run natively on Windows. Instead, it uses what is called a docker-machine to create a virtual machine (VM) on VirtualBox. Therefore, if you do not have VirtualBox, Docker Toolbox automatically installs it for you. You do not have to mess with VirtualBox. Docker Toolbox automatically creates a Linux VM on VirtualBox that hosts Docker on your Windows system. Pretty cool right? Let’s move on and see how to install Docker on Windows 7, 8, and 10 with VirtualBox enabled.

Before you begin, enable Intel VT-x hardware virtualization in BIOS or UEFI firmware. This is required for Docker to run. Once this is done, installing Docker on Windows is as simple as downloading the installer and running it as you would for any software installation.

Recommended Guides on Docker:
  • The Docker Book: Containerization is the new virtualization
  • Docker Cookbook: Solutions and Examples

1. Download Docker Toolbox for Windows

Once Docker terminal starts and appears as shown above, you are good to install any docker containers or images.

Docker is installed successfully. What to do next?

If everything went well, you should have Docker for Windows 7, 8, and 10 is installed, the service should be running and waiting to host containers with various apps. In the upcoming guides, we will show you how to install docker containers with apps (SickRage, Sonarr, CouchPotato, Plex, etc.) to build your home server on docker engine. We will also show you how to use Kitematic to make things even easier. Sounds exciting? Go ahead follow this Docker windows tutorial, install Docker on Windows 7, 8, and 10 using Docker Toolbox and get ready for the ride.

В этом руководстве я объясню, как установить Docker на Windows 7 и 8 с помощью Docker Toolbox. Это руководство также должно работать с 32-разрядными версиями Win 10, не Pro или Ent. Docker, если вы еще не знаете, самодостаточные приложения, что делает их чрезвычайно простыми в установке и управлении. Приложения Home Sever, такие как SickRage, Sonarr, CouchPotato, Plex и т.д., Могут быть установлены за считанные секунды. Интересный? Прочтите наше руководство о том, что такое докер и чем он отличается от VirtualBox, для получения дополнительной информации о том, что он может сделать для вас. Мы уже рассмотрели настройку Docker в Ubuntu и Windows 10 64-bit Pro и Ent.

Что делать, если у вас Win 10 Home? Или даже Windows 7 или 8. Или что, если у вас установлен VirtualBox на 64-битном Win 10 Pro / Ent (установка docker сделает виртуальные машины неработоспособными)? Не бойтесь, в этом руководстве по Docker для Windows мы увидим, как установить Docker для Windows 7 и 8 (все выпуски) и 10 (32-разрядный или не Pro или не Ent) с помощью Docker Toolbox. Это также руководство, которому нужно следовать, если у вас Win 10 64-bit Pro или Ent и вы хотите продолжать использовать VirtualBox для запуска других виртуальных машин.

Обязательно прочтите: Ultimate Smart Home Media Server с Docker и Ubuntu 18.04 – Базовый

Для простоты все ссылки на Windows 10, выходящие за рамки этого пункта в этом руководстве, относятся ко всем 32-разрядным версиям и 64-разрядным версиям не-Pro или не-Ent. Все остальные версии Windows 10 уже имеют Hyper-V, и поэтому Docker может быть установлен непосредственно вместо Docker Toolbox.

Установите Docker на Windows 7, 8 и 10

Windows 7, 8 и некоторые выпуски Windows 10 не имеют Hyper-V. Docker не будет работать должным образом в этих системах. Но вы можете установить Docker с помощью Docker Toolbox. Настройка Docker с помощью Docker Toolbox не позволяет Docker работать в Windows. Вместо этого он использует так называемую докер-машину для создания виртуальной машины (ВМ) в VirtualBox. Поэтому, если у вас нет VirtualBox, Docker Toolbox автоматически установит его для вас. Вам не нужно связываться с VirtualBox. Docker Toolbox автоматически создает виртуальную машину Linux на VirtualBox, в которой размещается Docker в вашей системе Windows. Довольно круто, верно? Давайте продолжим и посмотрим, как установить Docker на Windows 7, 8 и 10 с включенным VirtualBox.

Прежде чем начать, включите аппаратную виртуализацию Intel VT-x в BIOS или прошивке UEFI. Это необходимо для запуска Docker. Как только это будет сделано, установить Docker в Windows так же просто, как загрузить установщик и запустить его, как при любой установке программного обеспечения.

Рекомендуемые руководства:
  • Docker Book: Containerization – это новая виртуализация
  • Docker Cookbook: решения и примеры

1. Скачать Docker Toolbox для Windows

Чтобы установить Docker с помощью Docker Toolbox, сначала посетите страницу загрузки Docker Toolbox и загрузите последнюю версию установщика, как показано на рисунке ниже.

Для новичков и тех, кто не предпочитает командную строку, я рекомендую открыть Docker с помощью Kitematic. Если запуск Kitematic завершился неудачно, выберите «Использовать VirtualBox», когда появится опция. Если вам удобен доступ к Docker через командную строку, откройте «Терминал быстрого запуска Docker» (первый значок на картинке выше).

Руководство: Установить Docker на Windows 7, 8 и 10 с помощью Docker Toolbox?

Запустите Docker в Windows

Как только Docker терминал запускается и появляется, как показано выше, вы можете установить любые Docker контейнеры или образы.

Докер успешно установлен. Что делать дальше?

Если все прошло хорошо, у вас должен быть установлен Docker для Windows 7, 8 и 10, служба должна работать и ожидать размещения контейнеров с различными приложениями. В следующих руководствах мы покажем вам, как устанавливать док-контейнеры с приложениями (SickRage, Sonarr, CouchPotato, Plex и т.д. ), Чтобы построить свой домашний сервер на движке докеров. Мы также покажем вам, как использовать Kitematic, чтобы сделать вещи еще проще. Звучит захватывающе? Следуйте этому руководству по Windows, установите Docker на Windows 7, 8 и 10 с помощью Docker Toolbox и приготовьтесь к поездке.

Install Docker for Windows

Windows users use Docker Toolbox to install Docker software. Docker Toolbox includes the following Docker tools:

  • Docker CLI client for running Docker Engine to create images and containers
  • Docker Machine so you can run Docker Engine commands from Windows terminals
  • Docker Compose for running the docker-compose command
  • Kitematic, the Docker GUI
  • the Docker QuickStart shell preconfigured for a Docker command-line environment
  • Oracle VM VirtualBox

Because the Docker Engine daemon uses Linux-specific kernel features, you can’t
run Docker Engine natively in Windows. Instead, you must use the Docker Machine
command, docker-machine, to create and attach to a small Linux VM on your
machine. This VM hosts Docker Engine for you on your Windows system.

Step 1: Check your version

To run Docker, your machine must have a 64-bit operating system running Windows 7 or higher. Additionally, you must make sure that virtualization is enabled on your machine.
To verify your machine meets these requirements, do the following:

  1. Right click the windows message and choose System.

    If you aren’t using a supported version, you could consider upgrading your
    operating system.

    If you have a newer system, specifically 64bit Windows 10 Pro, with Enterprise and Education (1511 November update, Build 10586 or later), consider using Docker for Windows instead. It runs natively on the Windows, so there is no need for a pre-configured Docker QuickStart shell. It also uses Hyper-V for virtualization, so the instructions below for checking virtualization will be out of date for newer Windows systems. Full install prerequisites are provided in the Docker for Windows topic in What to know before you install.

  2. Make sure your Windows system supports Hardware Virtualization Technology and that virtualization is enabled.

    For Windows 8 or 8.1

    Choose Start > Task Manager and navigate to the Performance tab.
    Under CPU you should see the following:

    Release page

    If virtualization is not enabled on your system, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for enabling it.

    For Windows 7

  3. Verify your Windows OS is 64-bit (x64)

    How you do this verification depends on your Windows version. For details, see the Windows
    article How to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit version or 64-bit version
    of the Windows operating system.

In this section, you install the Docker Toolbox software and several “helper” applications. The installation adds the following software to your machine:

  • Docker Client for Windows
  • Docker Toolbox management tool and ISO
  • Oracle VM VirtualBox
  • Git MSYS-git UNIX tools

If you have a previous version of VirtualBox installed, do not reinstall it with the Docker Toolbox installer. When prompted, uncheck it.

If you have Virtual Box running, you must shut it down before running the
installer.

  1. Go to the Docker Toolbox page.

  2. Click the installer link to download.

  3. Install Docker Toolbox by double-clicking the installer.

    The installer launches the “Setup — Docker Toolbox” dialog.

    If Windows security dialog prompts you to allow the program to make a
    change, choose Yes. The system displays the Setup — Docker Toolbox for
    Windows
    wizard.

    Release page

  4. Press Next to accept all the defaults and then Install.

    Accept all the installer defaults. The installer takes a few minutes to install all the components:

  5. When notified by Windows Security the installer will make changes, make sure you allow the installer to make the necessary changes.

    When it completes, the installer reports it was successful:

    Success

  6. Uncheck “View Shortcuts in File Explorer” and press Finish.

Step 3: Verify your installation

The installer places Docker Toolbox and VirtualBox in your Applications folder.
In this step, you start Docker Toolbox and run a simple Docker command.

  1. On your Desktop, find the Docker Toolbox icon.

    Desktop

  2. Click the icon to launch a Docker Toolbox terminal.

    If the system displays a User Account Control prompt to allow VirtualBox to make changes to your computer. Choose Yes.

    The terminal does several things to set up Docker Toolbox for you. When it is done, the terminal displays the $ prompt.

    Desktop

    The terminal runs a special bash environment instead of the standard Windows command prompt. The bash environment is required by Docker.

  3. Make the terminal active by click your mouse next to the $ prompt.

    If you aren’t familiar with a terminal window, here are some quick tips.

    /Terminal shell

    The prompt is traditionally a $ dollar sign. You type commands into the
    command line which is the area after the prompt. Your cursor is indicated
    by a highlighted area or a | that appears in the command line. After
    typing a command, always press RETURN.

  4. Type the docker run hello-world command and press RETURN.

    The command does some work for you, if everything runs well, the command’s
    output looks like this:

     $ docker run hello-world
     Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
     Pulling repository hello-world
     91c95931e552: Download complete
     a8219747be10: Download complete
     Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest
     Hello from Docker.
     This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
    
     To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
      1. The Docker Engine CLI client contacted the Docker Engine daemon.
      2. The Docker Engine daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
         (Assuming it was not already locally available.)
      3. The Docker Engine daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
         executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
      4. The Docker Engine daemon streamed that output to the Docker Engine CLI client, which sent it
         to your terminal.
    
     To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
      $ docker run -it ubuntu bash
    
     For more examples and ideas, visit:
      https://docs.docker.com/userguide/
    

Looking for troubleshooting help?

Typically, the above steps work out-of-the-box, but some scenarios can cause problems. If your docker run hello-world didn’t work and resulted in errors, check out Troubleshooting for quick fixes to common problems.

A Windows specific problem you might encounter has to do with the NDIS6 host network filter driver, which is known to cause issues on some Windows
versions. For Windows Vista systems and newer, VirtualBox installs NDIS6 driver by default. Issues can range from system slowdowns to networking problems for the virtual machine (VM). If you notice problems, re-run the Docker Toolbox installer, and select the option to install VirtualBox with the NDIS5 driver.

Removing Toolbox involves removing all the Docker components it includes.

A full uninstall also includes removing the local and remote machines you created with Docker Machine. In some cases, you might want to keep machines created with Docker Machine.

For example, if you plan to re-install Docker Machine as a part of Docker for Windows you can continue to manage those machines through Docker. Or, if you have remote machines on a cloud provider and you plan to manage them using the provider, you wouldn’t want to remove them. So the step to remove machines is described here as optional.

To uninstall Toolbox on Windows, do the following:

  1. List your machines.

    $ docker-machine ls
    NAME                ACTIVE   DRIVER       STATE     URL                        SWARM
    dev                 *        virtualbox   Running   tcp://192.168.99.100:2376
    my-docker-machine            virtualbox   Stopped
    default                      virtualbox   Stopped
    

  2. Optionally, remove each machine. For example:

    $ docker-machine rm my-docker-machine
    Successfully removed my-docker-machine
    

  3. Uninstall Docker Toolbox using Window’s standard process for uninstalling programs through the control panel.

    Note: This process does not remove the docker-install.exe file. You must delete that file yourself.

Docker is a computer program that performs operating-system-level virtualization, also known as «containerization». Containers created with docker allow you to create isolated development environments on your system. These containers are also portable so you can easily move them from machine to machine and even share them with others.

Docker has many more benefits which you can read about here on the official docker website.

To install docker on Windows 7 you will need to download and install Docker Toolbox.

Docker Toolbox is for older Mac and Windows systems that do not meet the requirements of Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows

You will need to be running a 64 bit version of Windows 7 and you will need virtualization enabled on your system.
