Docker

Docker for Windows! requires Windows 10 (64 Bit) Pro, Enterprise, or Education see.

In order to download docker you need to create an account.

It is also needed to enable virtualization, which is an BIOS/UEFI setting. On my computer (Thinkpad) it was under Security. You can check if this is already enabled in your taskmanager.

With that preconditions fullfilled, it is easy to get Docker running, Hyper-V is set up automatically.

Quick test if your windows docker works, ckeck in the power shell docker run hello-world

Docker for Linux see, they provide a manual for CentOS, Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian. Feel free to extend it with your experiences about using docker on a/your linux distribution.
