Docker requires Windows 10 or Enterprise version
Hello everyone!
I have problems with Docker installation, because the prerequisite is not fulfilled for Docker, it requires Windows 10 or Enterprise version, but I am using usual Windows 10 Home version, are there any possibility to skip it or to install some alternative software?
Thank you in advance!


It is not necessary to have a complete Docker set-up on your machine. We only expect you to have a working CI set-up, in which a Docker container is built on Travis CI and pushed to Docker Hub.
If you want to play with Docker you could try the Docker Toolbox (see https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/toolbox_install_windows/) which is the legacy solution that doesn’t require Windows 10 Enterprise version.


IMHO, you should first try to get Wahlzeit running by directly using Gradle (so that you can run ./gradlew appengineRun). This allows you to get a first look at Wahlzeit.

On Windows, I (and some others in this forum) are having some problems getting the Docker version to run. I am not sure if there is a up-to-date version of Docker that doesn’t require HyperV. You could try to get the WSL2 beta running (which probably (?) doesn’t require HyperV), see https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/wsl-tech-preview/ . Or, try if you can get it running in a Linux VM. Or on a CIP machine.


On the CIP machines, you can’t install Docker. Using a Linux VM is probably the eseast solution if you can’t install Docker directly.


Thanks, this link has helped a lot! :slight_smile:
