Mmmh Docker: It's still a problem to run Docker and VMware Workstation peacefully in parallel on Windows. The one prefers Hyper-V, the other the opposite:

This has to change first (the links giving some kind of hope).

If you don't want Hyper-V, you can run easily run docker in virtualbox with boot2docker, using docker-machine. Or you can setup a docker linux vm in vmware.

It becomes only more complicated with nested virtualization techniques. Especially if you develop close 'to the metal'.

I'm in 3D and image processing software, often with GPU interface requirements involved. I can reconcile some aspects in the virtual environments, but yet in the single case not all of them. On top of each other and according to experience, difficulties multiply.

>docker in virtualbox with boot2docker

It comes packaged as Docker Toolbox.

It's legacy though. But I also notice that docker-machine isn't really updated anymore.
