Spinning up a few docker containers in Windows host + Vagrant + Virtualbox environment

[Sorcerer Stone]

In native Windows environment, I can use dos boxes to access docker (docker toolbox + Virtualbox) so that I can run one docker container against another related container.

My OS is Win10 pro (with HyperV disabled), Running a Linux environment using Vagrant & Virtualbox. So I am within a guest Ubuntu host and I want to do something similar to the above aka run multiple docker containers (i.e. I would like to run a docker container to interact with the existing running container. How do I achieve in Vagrant environment?

In my host folder, I have a vagrantfile which tells the virtual host to load Ubuntu using Vagrant Up and then I run a docker container. I can't possibly pull up another dos box and try to access the same virtual environment by running the same vagrantfile so that I can run another docker container. Correct?

Can anyone please advise me how I can run multiple docker containers in this mixed Vagrant, Virtualbox, environment? I need 2 docker containers running side-by-side and interacting with each other.

Thanks in advance.

Hmm, I googled. I think the instructions on this URL seems to be the solution I am looking for.

Am I correct?

yes

and you can use private network to have connectivity between vms.

for vm to vm in docker to docker, it seems the best is create 2 nodes on docker swarm.. just not sure whats the best for your setup
