Setup Docker on bash on Ubuntu on Windows 10

Steps:

A. On Windows side

1. Make sure Windows version is at least Professional. Or follow this to upgrade. Note Windows upgrade is a piece of shit. Only hope is restart OS when you think upgrade stucks.
2. https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/ download Docker edge, install it with Hyper-V. Do not use VirtualBox, it does not work with bash.
3. start Docker.exe

B. On Bash side

1. install brew on linux http://linuxbrew.sh/
2. brew install docker
3. echo -n "export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://0.0.0.0:2375" >> ~/.zshrc

How this works

Docker engine is still running on Windows side. Just bash's Docker client connects to Windows' Docker engine. Therefore, you are still counting on luck that Docker with Hyper-V would behave the same as Docker on real Linux.

Known Docker-Compose problem

See empty folder in shared volumn with Docker-Compose.

Solution:

$ sudo mkdir /c
$ sudo mount --bind /mnt/c /c
$ cd /c/path/to/project
$ docker-compose ...
