Setting up docker on a VirtualBox VM

docker_setup.md

Docker

follow instructions https://store.docker.com/search?offering=community&operating_system=linux&q=&type=edition

add user to docker usergroup sudo usermod -a -G docker {linux_user}

• restart the VM with a full shutdown (or else permissions will still be denied when using docker commands)

Docker Compose

• download to tmp folder curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.12.0/docker-compose-Linux-x86_64 > /tmp/docker-compose

• make it executable chmod +x {docker-compose}

• move it to /usr/local/bin/ (you normally can't write to that path, which is why it was written under the /tmp folder) sudo mv docker-compose /usr/local/bin

• check if successful docker-compose --version

• (while running) Windows terminal script to run when VM instance sleeps, wakes up, and can't connect to network. programmatically sets the network to none, and then bridge, while the VM instance is running. "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" controlvm "{vm_instance_name}" nic1 null "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" controlvm "{vm_instance_name}" nic1 bridged "Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260"
