Docker

About

Docker is a set of platform as a service (PaaS) products that use OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers.

Installation

Change enable from False to True in the docker section (cf module installation).

vscode-anywhere:
    docker:
        enabled: True

You can also take a look at the VSCode-Anywhere docker module configuration.

For more details, please visit the official documentation.

Requirements

Privileges

Windows privileges

VSCode-Anywhere will install Docker only if you have the windows_admin profile set because it requires administrator rights.

Note that without this profile, you will not be able to use all the features of the ms-azuretools.vscode-docker extension.

In addition to the windows_admin profile, Docker requires Windows 10 64-bit: Pro, Enterprise, or Education (Build 15063 or later) and Hyper-V and Containers Windows features must be enabled.

Also BIOS-level hardware virtualization support must be enabled in the BIOS settings.

If you haven’t set thewindows_adminprofile, you can manually install Docker. Please take a look at the documentation.
