How to install Docker on offline Windows 7 machine

Tags:

docker

I try to install Docker on an offline (completely offline for security reasons) W7 PC. But the install process is heavily dependent on the net....are there any standalone versions to be found or are there any other workarounds.....wwould really like to get this to work.

Can I install Docker on Windows 7?

Docker Desktop is not supported on windows 7, you can use Docker toolbox instead.

Can I install Docker offline?

To install Docker on your offline server, first download the required RPM packages onto an online server that is connected to the Red Hat repository, and then transfer the RPM packages to your offline server for installation.

Can I install Docker engine without desktop?

You can also run docker-compose up as per normal but without needing Docker Desktop.

Haven't seen any standalone setup for Docker in windows but Docker Toolbox is what can help you achieve this.

Docker Toolbox provides a way to use Docker on Windows systems, even older that do not meet minimal system requirements for the Docker for Windows app.

Docker Toolbox includes the following Docker tools:

  • Docker CLI client for running Docker Engine to create images and containers

  • Docker Machine so you can run Docker Engine commands from Windows terminals

  • Docker Compose for running the docker-compose command Kitematic, the Docker GUI

  • the Docker QuickStart shell preconfigured for a Docker command-line environment

  • Oracle VM VirtualBox

Update:- In case you don't have boot2docker with the installation and system tries to download it on creating docker machine, you can manually download it from https://api.github.com/repos/boot2docker/boot2docker/releases/latest, have it on your offline system and manually place it at C:\Users\user_name\.docker\machine\cache and it should work. Note: Check for the appropriate version of boot2docker for your Docker Toolbox
