A Vagrant environment that spins up Windows Server VMs preconfigured with Docker to run Windows containers and LCOW. It lets developers on Mac, Linux, or Windows switch between Docker Desktop Linux containers and Windows containers via Docker Machine contexts.
Use cases
- run windows containers on a macbook
- test docker images against windows server 2019 or 2022
- switch between linux and windows docker containers locally
- try lcow linux containers on windows
- spin up a windows docker vm with vagrant
- build windows container dev environment without a windows laptop
When to choose
- you develop or test Windows containers from macOS or Linux
- you need multiple Windows Server versions (2016/2019/2022, Insider) as disposable VMs
- you want infrastructure-as-code Vagrant/Packer definitions for Windows Docker hosts
When to avoid
- you only run Linux containers and Docker Desktop suffices
- you need production Windows container hosting rather than a local dev VM
- your hypervisor is unsupported (e.g., Hyper-V or VirtualBox on Windows have known issues)
