Docker for windows 10 home edition #21

Open himarshaj opened 4 years ago

himarshaj commented 4 years ago

Hello,

It is mentioned that : Docker Desktop requires Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise version 15063 as a prerequisite.

So i guess docker is not supporting the windows 10 home edition ?

Yes, Docker's recommended desktop version does not support Windows 10 Home Edition. However, there is a legacy version called Docker Toolbox which might work. If I remember correctly, this legacy version installs VirtualBox on Windows and runs a version of Linux inside to enable Docker support.

My personal recommendation would be to not use Windows for development of this course's assignments, but if one insists on using Windows as their primary operating system then at least setup a Linux virtual machine and work inside of it.

Thank you. My personal computer is Windows 10 Home Edition. I might go with your last option and set up a linux virtual machine to work inside of it when at home.

Also, if you are not afraid of working in the terminal, you can SSH to your office computer and work remotely.
