![]() ![]() Here we discuss the introduction to Docker Toolbox, how to install this toolbox, and the working of the toolbox. We can uninstall the Docker Toolbox from the control panel as we uninstall other applications, however, it does not uninstall VirtualBox, it needs to be uninstalled separately. We can create multiple machines using the ‘docker-machine’ command. This tool is very easy to install and use. Now, to access the default web page from the browser, check the IP address of the VM that is populated when started the VM as bash command will not work here and put the IP address in the browser as shown below:ĭocker Toolbox is an official tool from Docker to run Docker on a different operating system other than Linux if we have old Windows or Mac OS. Step 7: Let’s run an nginx container and access the default web page from our browser. In the above snapshot, we can see that we are able to list Docker images, volumes, networks, and containers without any errors. ![]() Let’s start by checking images and creating volumes etc. Step 6: We can run other Docker commands as well now. We can run the ‘docker run hello-world’ command to run ‘hello-world’ container and if everything is good, we get below output after running the above command: Step 5: We can now test the installation by running any container on it. Step 4: Here, we go, Docker is configured and ready to use now and gives us the ‘$’ prompt to run the Docker commands, we can make it active by clicking our mouse next to the ‘$’ prompt. Step 3: If encountered any problem, just restart the terminal and see if the issue is resolved or getting the same issue continuously: Here, we can see that pre-create checks are complete and it is downloading ‘Boot2Docker’ ISO image to create VM as it was not found locally. It does several things to prepare the Docker Toolbox for use as shown below: Step 2: Double click on the icon to launch a pre-configured Docker Toolbox terminal. If we want to allow access to other folders, for example, our project files might be somewhere else so we need to configure ‘Shared Folders’ in the VirtualBox. However, in the newer ‘Docker Desktop for Windows’ desktop solution removed this requirement as it uses native virtualization instead of VirtualBox to run Docker.Īlso, Docker Toolbox has only access to the ‘c:\users’ directory by default, and it is mounted into VM at ‘/c/Users’ and it is case sensitive. If VirtualBox is already installed on our computer, we must uncheck the checkbox of VirtualBox while running the Docker Toolbox setup and VirtualBox must be closed before the installation. It uses Oracle VirtualBox which is included in the package to run that Linux VM in a virtual environment. This VM is going to use to host Docker Engine on our Windows system. So, we need to create and attach a small Linux VM on our host using the Docker Machine command. We cannot run Docker Engine natively on Windows because the Docker Engine daemon uses Linux-specific kernel features to run. Here, we have 3 new Desktop shortcuts as below: Step 9: Click on Finis and it will open a Windows Explorer, close that window and check the Desktop. Here is the final window of the installation as below: Docker Toolbox is installed on our machine. ![]() Step 8: Then, it will install VirtualBox and that’s it. Step 7: If we get the below window, just click on Install: Step 6: It will start the installation and we get progress bar as below: Step 5: Finally, we get the ‘Ready to Install’ window to install the Docker Toolbox, simply click on the Install button: Step 4: Now, we get the window to select additional tasks and we can keep it default and click on next: Now, select the checkboxes as per our requirement and click on the Next button: Step 3: We get the below window where we have options to select however some checkboxes are greyed-out as those are mandatory ones like if we already have VirtualBox installed on our system then we get the option to uncheck VirtualBox. ![]()
