Portable Docker

[Chris Mary]

Hi,

I have a web app and created a docker image

Is there is any portable USB docker runner so that i can carry the docker image in a pen drive and run from the usb drive?

Thanks

Docker itself relies on a Linux host (some Windows support???). So you'd need a bootable Linux image on that drive to run it stand-alone.

The Docker image itself can be exported from a Docker host, although unless someone has done something, that image won't run because it's missing key Dockerfile information. You have to re-create things like the image startup commmand.

Docker Desktop works pretty great on Windows. It used to work with Hyper-V, now it uses WSL.

Thanks for the info. I don't keep up with the Windows World much anymore. While WSL has apparently been getting serious lately, I didn't know it ran Docker.
