Docker for Windows is out now, quick install, comes with everything you need to 
get going. 

https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/ 
<https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/>

Requires Win10 Pro/64bit. 

Try it, it’s amazing. Once you have that installed, 

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 marcopinball/ofbiz-demo:latest

and you will have a functional ofbiz demo up and running once it downloads. 
This is the quick Dockerfile/image I put together, I plan on getting it 
separated more soon for more manipulation.  

Or,
docker run -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mypassword -d postgres

Boom, instant postgres server. Keep in mind containers don’t save state (images 
do) so if you restart a container you’ll lose data, so getting used to using 
volumes takes a bit but makes a ton of sense once you understand the 
archtitecture. 

The Windows distro ships with Kitematic now, which is a great GUI for messing 
around and doing things like running and managing containers.  Give it a shot. 

Docker caches images and containers intelligently, so subsequent image 
downloads are a LOT faster and your don’t run out of hard drive space like you 
do with lots of VM versions.  It’s game-changing technology for developers 
working on complex systems like OFBiz and has completely replaced VMs in my 
(albeit limited) development workflow.
