Identical Environment: Docker containers in a custom Docker host

[Tomasz Majchrowski]

Hi All,

On platforms that don’t support containers (e.g. Windows)  by default Vagrant spins up a Tiny Core Linux (boot2docker) Docker host. In addition it's provide possibilities to run Docker containers in a custom Docker host over "vagrant_vagrantfile" configuration parameter. This works pretty well for us.

Now we would like to use the same "customer docker host" across all environments (including Linux based one).

Is there any possibility to use  "customer docker host" under the Linux instead of one natively installed docker. The same way as used under the Windows when native one is not available.

BR, Tomasz.

Hello,

yes is possible.

have a look at this parameter:

https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/docker/configuration.html

force_host_vm (boolean) - If true, then a host VM will be spun up even if the computer running Vagrant supports Linux containers. This is useful to enforce a consistent environment to run Docker.

Thank you Alvaro. Works OK (this is the option i was looking for).  BR, Tomasz
