WSL 1, Docker and Vagrant+Virtualbox

Set up Windows

1. Install docker-machine

2. Create a Docker machine named default, sharing D:\ (only one drive can be specified):

   docker-machine.exe create default --virtualbox-share-folder "d:\\:/d"

   If the command above fails with "This computer doesn't have VT-X/AMD-v enabled. Enabling it in the BIOS is mandatory", add the --virtualbox-no-vtx-check option and try again.

Set up WSL

1. Create /etc/wsl.conf with:

   [automount]
   root = /
   options = "metadata"
   

2. Add the following to your ~/.bashrc:

   if [ "$(docker-machine.exe status default)" = "Stopped" ]; then
       docker-machine.exe start default
   fi
   eval $(docker-machine.exe env default --shell bash)
   export DOCKER_CERT_PATH=$(wslpath $DOCKER_CERT_PATH)
   export COMPOSE_CONVERT_WINDOWS_PATHS=false

Known issues
