# Docker

![](https://www.docker.com/sites/default/files/d8/2019-07/Moby-logo.png)

## About

[Docker](https://www.docker.com/) 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/modules/install.md)).

```yaml
vscode-anywhere:
    docker:
        enabled: True
```

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also take a look at the [VSCode-Anywhere docker module configuration](https://github.com/gigi206/VSCode-Anywhere/blob/V2/salt/modules/docker/defaults.yaml).
{% endhint %}

For more details, please visit the [official documentation](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/azure/docker).

## Requirements

### Privileges

#### Windows privileges

VSCode-Anywhere will install [Docker](https://www.docker.com) only if you have the `windows_admin` [profile](/vscode-anywhere/install/advanced/windows-installation.md#profiles) 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](https://vscode-anywhere.readthedocs.io/en/dev/modules/docker.html#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](https://docs.microsoft.com/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/quick-start/enable-hyper-v) and Containers Windows features must be enabled.

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

{% hint style="info" %}
If you haven’t set the`windows_admin`profile, you can manually install Docker. Please take a look at the [documentation](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/).
{% endhint %}
