Manage Docker Toolbox with PowerShell

• Open PowerShell and enter:

Docker-machine ls

• We can see the status of our current Docker virtual machine. If there is nothing, then we can create a Docker virtual machine with the following command.

Docker-machine Create--driver=virtualbox Default (skip this step if shown below)

• After creation, we are using docker-machine LS to confirm that our Docker virtual machine is running.
• Then use the following command to get the environment variables for the virtual machine:

Docker-machine env Default

• And then enter:

Docker-machine env Default | Invoke-expression

• This allows us to connect the current PowerShell with the Docker Linux in the virtual machine and then use the Docker command in PowerShell.
• For example, we want to see which mirrors are currently available:

Docker images

• What containers are currently available:

Docker Ps–a
