People don’t actually do this, right? Docker inside docker inside a VM inside another VM? On windows? Right???

I’ve seen docker inside a VM before but that was just a dev box for testing

That’s super standard for actual infrastructure

That’s the most reasonable part of the image

Are you not losing loads of performance by stacking vms like that?

Isnt that exactly what minikube is? Kubernetes in docker.

I’ve used docker-in-docker images, but its usually not fun.

I’m pretty sure docker recommends that it runs under WSL when on windows.

Yeah, docker in a VM makes sense. Docker in docker in a vm in a vm though?

Windows itself is technically running in a VM if you have Hyper-V enabled (not quite that simple, but that’s a reasonable approximation). Hyper-V is a type 1 hypervisor which means it runs directly on the underlying physical hardware, and both Windows as well as any VMs you create are running on top of Hyper-V.

I’ve ran Docker in LXC in a KVM before. I used LXC to have multiple containers on a VPS. Then I had to run something that works best with Docker, so I stuck Docker in an LXC.
