Need instructions for Docker (not toolbox) and Windows 10

[artk2002]

The Windows instructions are for using Docker Toolbox which is deprecated on Win 10. Although most of the instructions can be sussed out, there is one issue that isn't clear.

Following the directions as written, starting the Samba container results in a permission error accessing port 445. Directions on how to work past that issue for Win 10 would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I cannot create a docker container in Windows 10 Pro with:

C:\Users\hebh>docker run -it -v projects:/projects crops/poky --workdir=/projects

The Windows instructions are for using Docker Toolbox which is deprecated on Win 10. Although most of the instructions can be sussed out, there is one issue that isn't clear.

Following the directions as written, starting the Samba container results in a permission error accessing port 445. Directions on how to work past that issue for Win 10 would be greatly appreciated.

Giving some more in depth knowledge on the issue, that I discovered. If you look at your windows firewall (Windows Definder Firewall with Advance Security) you'll see DockerSmbMount already up and running and using 445. Turns out, Docker for Windows will start a VM by default called MobyLinuxVM, which you can see in the Hyper-V Manager, and samba is already setup for it. Which you can verify by opening up a file explorer and typing in \\10.0.75.1 where you'll see a network folder.

So this is just insight for people running into the permission error and just more info for someone who might be able to generate new instructions for Docker for Windows.

@HenrikBach1
I was able to recreate your problem just by simply running the first command. You didn't mention any other commands before running it so I'm assuming you did run it but might have had typos between creating your volume and running the container.

Commands to run
docker volume create --name projects
docker run -it --rm -v projects:/projects busybox chown -R 1000:1000 /projects
docker run -it -v projects:/projects crops/poky --workdir=/projects

@prosperv
Thank you. Ok. Next time, I'll bear in mind, what you proposed.

It seems using crops on windows is impossible now. Docker toolbox is deprecated and one can't get it anymore, and those instructions won't work with Docker desktop, because we can't run samba because of host already running samba on the same port. It's not about instructions anymore, whole approach needs to be changed.

Although I don't have a copy of Windows 10 Home to test, according to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-faq#does-wsl-2-use-hyper-v-will-it-be-available-on-windows-10-home, WSL 2 should be available on Windows 10 Home.

Back in the day, the availability of Docker Toolbox on all version of Windows is what led its suggestion. However, the workflow/ease/ubiquity of WSL 2 means that it's probably the most logical replacement.

I've ran builds using WSL 2 once or twice, but I'm far from an expert. I would like to write up some new instructions, but I can't promise a timeline, because it's based on my free cycles.
