Docker daemon on Windows

[Sukhveer Singh]

I am using Docker (v 1.10.2) on Windows 7 SP1. Everything works fine on Docker terminal (VM, build images, running containers) but when I run 'Docker daemon' is get this error:

level=fatal msg="Error starting daemon: This version of Windows does not support the docker daemon"

In the docker documentation, it's mentioned that Windows 7 SP1 is supported. I don't see any more specific error on this.

I'll appreciate any help on this.

Thanks,

Sukhveer

Windows 7 SP1 is supported, but as explained in https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/windows/#learn-the-key-concepts-before-installing, the *daemon* runs inside a Virtual Machine on Windows.

The "docker" command on the Windows machine is actually a client-only build of docker, so doesn't contain the daemon command (and code).

You can, however, open a session in the virtual machine, e.g.

docker-machine ssh default

docker daemon --help

Thanks so much Sebastiaan! That was helpful. I should've went thru documentation more carefully :)
