Docker Toolbox for Windows
is tool set for both docker machine and docker client:
- docker-machine
- docker
portable docker for windows
Here is solution to make it portable with USB driver, precondition:
- portable msys + Git
- portable Cmder/Console2
1) First for all, install Docker Toolbox for Windows without VirtualBox and Git options since I already have them.
2) Then copy "Docker Toolbox" folder to portable path like:
"drive":\"portablepath"\DockerToolbox
and uninstall Docker Toolbox from Windows.
3) add USERPROFILE to msys /etc/profile since Docker Toolbox will create virtual machine under working space .docker as below:
$USERPROFILE\.docker\machine\machines\default
so add this line to /etc/profile,
export USERPROFILE=/home/username
4) add docker setup in /etc/profile
# docker toolbox export DOCKERTOOLBOX=/"portablepath"/DockerToolbox export PATH=$PATH:$DOCKERTOOLBOX
5) start Cmder/Console2 then launch msys bash terminal,
Cmder: start Cmder then start msys bash from CLI or task tab %ConEmuDir%\..\..\..\msys\bin\bash --login -i Console2: start Console2 then start msys bash from CLI or tab "drive":\"portablepath"\msys\bin\bash.exe --login -i
$ dockerstart
