Microsoft Hyper-V

Creates a Boot2Docker virtual machine locally on your Windows machine using Hyper-V. See here for instructions to enable Hyper-V. You will need to use an Administrator level account to create and manage Hyper-V machines.

Note

: You will need an existing virtual switch to use the driver. Hyper-V can share an external network interface (aka bridging), see this blog. If you would like to use NAT, create an internal network, and use Internet Connection Sharing.

Options:

  • --hyper-v-boot2docker-url: The URL of the boot2docker ISO. Defaults to the latest available version.
  • --hyper-v-boot2docker-location: Location of a local boot2docker iso to use. Overrides the URL option below.
  • --hyper-v-virtual-switch: Name of the virtual switch to use. Defaults to first found.
  • --hyper-v-disk-size: Size of disk for the host in MB.
  • --hyper-v-memory: Size of memory for the host in MB. By default, the machine is setup to use dynamic memory.

Environment variables and default values:

CLI option Environment variable Default
--hyper-v-boot2docker-url - Latest boot2docker url
--hyper-v-boot2docker-location - -
--hyper-v-virtual-switch - first found
--hyper-v-disk-size - 20000
--hyper-v-memory - 1024
