I’m usually using Ubuntu for development with Docker and VirtualBox, but I’ve recently started using Windows 10. Docker and VirtualBox can’t be used at the same time if Hyper-V is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyper-V runs Windows virtualized, so other virtualization software can’t be used at the same time. This is how and why I switched to docker-machine instead so I could run docker and VirtualBox at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Uninstall Docker and disable Hyper-V (if installed)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have Docker installed, then you need to remove it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then disable Hyper-V by pressing the Windows key and search for Turn Windows features on or off<\/strong>. Remove the checkbox on Hyper-V if it’s enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open an elevated shell by pressing the windows button and search for PowerShell<\/strong>. Right-click it and runs it as administrator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run the following command:
bcdedit \/set hypervisorlaunchtype off<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then reboot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure Intel VT-x or AMD SVM is enabled<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE<\/strong> and then Task Manager<\/strong>. Check if it says virtualization enabled as shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How
It should say enabled if VT-X or AMD SVM is enabled.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If it’s not enabled then you need to enable it in your BIOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Install VirtualBox<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can download VirtualBox from the official site<\/a> and install it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Install Docker Toolbox<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’re going to use Docker Toolbox to run docker in virtualbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The official guide found here<\/a> has some issues, at least on AMD hardware. It keeps complaining about virtualization not being enabled when it is, so we need to make a small modification to disable the virtualization check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Download Docker Toolbox from GitHub<\/a>.<\/li>
  2. Run the install file you just downloaded.<\/li>
  3. Open Notepad <\/strong>as administrator and open the file C:\\Program Files\\Docker Toolbox\\start.sh<\/code>. Make sure you select “all files” if you can’t find it.<\/li>
  4. Find the line \"${DOCKER_MACHINE}\" create -d virtualbox $PROXY_ENV \"${VM}\"<\/code> and replace it with \"${DOCKER_MACHINE}\" create -d virtualbox --virtualbox-no-vtx-check $PROXY_ENV \"${VM}\"<\/code>.<\/li>
  5. Save the changes.<\/li>
  6. Start Docker Quickstart Terminal<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Docker should now be working, and you can continue following the official guide from step 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Have fun with Docker and VirtualBox at the same time, and a faster Windows experience as Windows no longer runs virtualized \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
