Docker Engine “is a lightweight runtime and robust tooling that builds and runs your Docker containers.” The core.

#Kitematic automatically add local folder for volumes install
Using Hyper-V rather than VirtualBox is advertised as “faster and more reliable”, and indeed in my experience it is much faster to install images and get them running than reaching the functional equivalent with the Vagrant/VirtualBox combo. However it requires at least Windows 10 Pro because Hyper-V virtualization is not available in Windows Home.
The product known as Docker for Windows ( July 2016 launch) has become Docker’s recommended desktop offering since it got out of private beta. You’ll find plenty of practical tips to address the kind of pesky issues you run into when you really try to get a whole stack working, as opposed to just kicking the tires with a couple containers that don’t do much.Ĥ.8.

At the time there were significant practical differences between Vagrant and Docker, but since then they’ve been moving towards each other – functionally if not in strict architectural terms – as Docker Inc. I started using Vagrant to develop Linux-based websites on my Windows desktop in 2014, as an upgrade from running XAMPP. Warning: this entry is pretty old, probably obsolete in many ways, and I’m not updating it as I’m now running Docker on my Synology NAS.
