My solution to this was to install PuTTY and open a separate SSH connection and terminal window with that tool. For instance, using vi in an SSH session doesn’t work well because the ESC key doesn’t seem to be communicate properly (so once you are in ‘insert mode’ in vi you can’t ESC back out to ‘command mode’ and thus cannot quit the vi session or save your edits). I’ve found that with docker-machine version 0.5.6 there are terminal issues with the Golang SSH from Windows. If no SSH executable is found, then docker-machine will use a built-in Golang version of SSH. If you have a command line SSH client already installed on the system, and it is in the path, then docker-machine ssh will use that. Then you can SSH to the system using: docker-machine ssh mydockervm Note about SSH In an administrative command window, enter this command to set some required environment variables: docker-machine env mydockervm

To see how to connect Docker to this machine, run: docker-machine.exe env mydockervm Connecting to your docker VM
When it completes then you’ll see: Docker is up and running!
That command will create the VM and provision it via SSH. Use some unique machine name, not “mydockervm”-remember this is using the external virtual switch, thus it will be visible on the LAN and will use the DHCP service of the LAN, and so you should avoid duplicating the name of another system on the network. Memory is specified in KB, and disk size in MB. The other -hyperv-* arguments are the default values, so you don’t need to supply them unless you want something different-for example, I usually set the CPU count to 2, not 1. In the command above you should supply the name of your virtual switch for the -hyperv-virtual-switch argument.

The VirtualBox install adds some drivers and network adapters. That installed Oracle’s VirtualBox, which is incompatible with Hyper-V-they cannot both be enabled on the system at the same time. Run the install, accepting all the defaults.

Installing Docker Toolboxĭownload the Windows version of Docker Toolbox from here. The bugs will likely be fixed in version 0.6, so when that comes out these instructions will be updated. We would prefer to use an internal virtual switch, but that doesn’t work due to some bugs in IPv6 support in Docker Machine (as of version 0.5.6, build 61388e9).

It also assumes your system is Windows 10, but I would not be surprised to find that Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2 are also sufficient. This guide assumes you have Hyper-V running on your machine, configured with an External Virtual Switch. Read on for how to use Hyper-V with Docker Toolbox … Prerequisites 1 But if you have Hyper-V installed and active, you can’t also use VirtualBox. Docker Toolbox is a cool tool for working with Docker containers on OS X and Windows, and it bundles Oracle’s VirtualBox.
