I'm tring to create a macos virtual machine in synology nas with virtual machine manager.
Is there a way to build and to run in such a way an macos on synology nas ?
I successfully installed IATKOS ML2 on VMM but it’s not the last version of macOS ... It’s a beginning

I installed the latest docker for windows from website.
there is no virtualbox installed. How windows run a linux container in my computer ? Is have a buildin linux kernel in windows?
It uses HyperV in newer releases. VirtualBox was used by docker-machine which is part of docker-toolkit.
Inside of the VM, there is a Linux kernel in a linuxkit based OS that is part of the moby project.
Connecting to the docker socket on Windows is described in this FAQ: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/faqs/#how-do-i-connect-to-the-remote-docker-engine-api
I'm running docker for mac and want to start up a windows container. From what I see this should work via a virtual machine. But I'm unclear where to find out how to get it to work? Or does it only work for linux containers? Thanks in advance!

I know I am late to the party but as of 2021, this is the easiest setup to get a windows container running on macOS:
https://github.com/StefanScherer/windows-docker-machine
Install vagrant and virtual box
Clone the repository above and change directory into it
vagrant up --provider virtualbox 2019-box
docker context use 2019-box
I followed this setup and I could use the following windows image
mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2019
Please note that the windows version of your host must match the container image. This is mentioned here: https://hub.docker.com/_/microsoft-windows
Windows requires the host OS version to match the container OS
version. If you want to run a container based on a newer Windows
build, make sure you have an equivalent host build.

On OS X, get VirtualBox.
Get Windows Server 2016 Tech Preview 5 ISO167 (free download from Microsoft)
Create WS 2016 TP5 VM in virtualbox
Run this206 in the new VM
Now you can run Windows Containers in the VM. To make the setup a little easier to use, see this: https://forums.docker.com/t/windows-server-2016-tp5-docker-server-remote-management/10315/5317
You could also install Bootcamp on your machine which allows you to dual boot your computer between OS X and Windows 10. You could then use the full power of your hardware dedicated to Windows and docker instead of virtualization.
Additionally, you can make the use of VMWare Fusion for Mac OS or Parallels, which allow you to ALSO access the dual boot windows partition from within the Mac OS for maximum flexibility. During installation make sure you do not create a Virtual Machine drive, but instead access the bootcamp partition directly.
I have Docker installed on Windows 7 platform. However when I try to run boot2docker start, the console gives me:
Failed to get machine 'boot2docker-vm': machine does not exist.
Ok, so I try to initialize the machine: boot2docker init. What now happens is even though I have the ISO image on the same path as docker, it tries to download a new image (and then fails to do so).
I uninstalled both OracleVM and GIT before installing them with boot2docker bundle as advised on Docker forums, but now I don't know how to proceed.
I had the same problem on a Windows 7 64 bit system when I installed the entire boot2docker package. It seems that running the solely 64-bit based boot2docker image from a 32-bit OS image (e.g. created by Virtualbox) does not work.
The solution for me was
to activate Intel Virtualisation Technolologies in my BIOS
(Lenovo X61 for me). Note that the settings can be found either
under CPU or Security.
choose a 64 bit OS version in VirtualBox and boot in with the
image obtained by boot2docker.
In case you're trying to do this now
For Windows 10 64-bit: Pro, Enterprise, or Education (Build 15063 or later), follow the instructions to install Docker Desktop here https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/.
If you have Windows systems that do not meet the requirements of Docker Desktop for Windows(in my case Microsoft Windows 10 Home Single Language), you can install Docker Toolbox by following the instructions here https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/toolbox_install_windows/.
boot2docker does not support sharing directories on Windows IIRC. The way I run Docker on windows is:
install VirtualBox
install Vagrant
create a directory (let's say c:\vm\docker)
download this Vagrantfile and save it under c:\vm\docker\Vagrantfile
open a DOS command prompt
go to the directory cd c:\vm\docker
start the VM vagrant up and wait for it to install, start up and get provisionned
connect to the VM vagrant ssh
play with docker docker images, etc
Also you might want a real console instead of using the DOS command prompt:
install Git Bash for Windows
install Console
setup Console to use Git Bash (see this guide)
use Console to run the vagrant up and vagrant ssh commands
I'm just getting started with Docker and use a MacBook Pro for development work. I see the Docker instructions recommend using Virtual Box and Boot2Docker in this environment. Anyone know if it would also work in a Linux VM in Parallels?
You can totally run Docker in another kind of Linux VM.
If you already have some kind of Linux VM running, just check Docker installation instructions for the distro installed in the Linux VM.
If you don't have a Linux VM, or if you don't want to touch your existing Linux VM, you can also download boot2docker, and when creating the new VM, just attach the boot2docker image as a virtual CD-ROM image or a virtual hard disk image (yes, it actually supports both).
I am trying to install Mac OSX on Windows XP using virtualbox and keep getting this message: BSD root: disk1s3, major 14, minor 3. I have assigned an 80gb virtual hard drive and have tried other iso files, but get the same message.
Technically installing MAC OSX on a virtual machine is against the EULA. That being said it's not a trivial operation to get OSX running on a VM. You might want to check out The OSX86 Project
