Windows 10 setup for Docker

Install Docker Desktop

https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/

Install Git Bash as a terminal for running Docker

This shell most closely mirrors the user experience for MacOS and Linux users

https://git-scm.com/downloads

Run the following command to verify your install

  git version

Note for Windows users running docker commands

• When running a Docker command that requires terminal interaction, prefix your docker command with winpty
• When referencing a fully qualified path or the root directory of a docker container, use // instead of /.
  • Example use //tmp for /tmp

Verify Running Docker from your Terminal

winpty docker run -it --rm ubuntu //bin/bash

Enter echo hello then enter exit

root@653eeaeb274b:/# echo hello
hello
root@653eeaeb274b:/# exit
exit
