I have seen docker inside docker docker container for Ubuntu/Linux. As per the replies in this thread, the following command works
docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/run/docker.sock -v $(which docker):/bin/docker [your image
Are there any similar commands available for docker in Windows 7?

Yes, we can run docker in docker, we'll need to attach the unix socket /var/run/docker. sock on which the docker daemon listens by default as volume to the parent docker using -v /var/run/docker.
Once you have your Docker container up and running, you can work with the environment of the Docker container in the same way you would do with an Ubuntu machine. You can access the bash or shell of the container and execute commands inside it and play around with the file system.
Docker has been able to run Linux containers on Windows desktop since it was first released in 2016 (before Hyper-V isolation or Linux containers on Windows were available) using a LinuxKit based virtual machine running on Hyper-V.
I am using the below command in Windows 10 to run docker inside docker. The docker image is with alpine OS. Note that the path is //var/run/docker.sock
docker run -it --rm --privileged --name dockerindocker -v //var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock docker / # docker ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 02285c22006f docker "docker-entrypoint..." 3 seconds ago Up 2 seconds dockerindocker / # cat /etc/alpine-release 3.6.2
