Docker inside Windows guest virtual machine

Question

I use Debian Jessie as a VirtualBox host.
I have a Windows 7 virtual machine guest, what I use for development purposes.
I want to install docker.
In order to install docker for Windows I need Boot2docker.exe.
Boot2docker itself is a VirtualBox virual machine.
It requires enable VT-x.
That doesn't seem to work.
VirtualBox error message:

VT-x is not available (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX)

E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Console
IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}

Answer 1

You want to run Docker client on your Windows development VM. Now you want to create a boot2docker linux VM inside the windows VM to run the docker deamon on. I think it's better to run the docker deamon on your Debian host system and let the docker client talk to the host system.

See https://docs.docker.com/engine/docker-overview/#the-docker-client
