Creating a Linux VirtualBox Using Vagrant
Downloads VirtualBox
Vagrant
I’m a big Windows user, like a lot of people. However, for developing, hosting web servers, etc. open source free software tends to be Unix based. One way to solve this is by running Linux virtual machines locally on Windows.
Now, VirtualBox allows this to be done, but there are manual steps to getting various Operating Systems up and running, so time is wasted and it can lack consistency.
Getting Docker Working In a VirtualBox VM
This is more of the process I went through trying to figure out how to get an easy way to use Docker without using Docker for Windows, because I want to also use Vagrant and VirtualBox. My journey began with this guide initially on Docker Docs: Install Docker Toolbox on Windows. It basically has you download and install the Docker Toolbox from GitHub.
When installing Docker Toolbox I already had VirtualBox and Git for Windows, so I made sure those were unchecked.
