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. —P > On Jan 25, 2017, at 1:57 AM, Jacques Le Roux <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Le 24/01/2017 à 22:04, Taher Alkhateeb a écrit : >> Mind you, however, that people still need to learn >> how to install Docker (not yet very trivial on Linux) and they also still >> need to get comfortable with docker commands and concepts. > And what about developers working on Windows like me?
