Migrate from Boot2Docker to Docker Machine

If you were using Boot2Docker previously, you have a pre-existing Docker boot2docker-vm VM on your local system. To allow Docker Machine to manage this older VM, you must migrate it.

  1. Open a terminal or the Docker CLI on your system.

  2. Type the following command.

     $ docker-machine create -d virtualbox --virtualbox-import-boot2docker-vm boot2docker-vm docker-vm

  3. Use the docker-machine command to interact with the migrated VM.

Subcommand comparison

The docker-machine subcommands are slightly different than the boot2docker subcommands. The table below lists the equivalent docker-machine subcommand and what it does:
