#Virtualbox hyper v windows
In this tutorial, we will go over the step-by-step process of installing Ubuntu 20.04 on a virtual machine using Hyper-V on Windows 10. One scenario is, you have VirtualBox installed and working fine.

This post is not about how to use them but instead, what are the issues you will encounter if you have them together.
#Virtualbox hyper v install
It allows you to install a distribution of Linux, including Ubuntu. If you are using Windows 10 operating system and want to use virtualization on it, then you have 2 options. Sudo sh /media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.1.10_76795/n uninstall Hyper-V offers a built-in way of creating and managing virtual machines on Windows 10. Luckily the nice folks on freenode IRC #centos pointed me in the right direction: my virtualbox VM had the guest additions installed still! This article explains how to remove the vbox guest additions, but basically just run the installer again with the uninstall argument: I did find that the rescue option would boot, but unfortunately rebuilding initramfs with: dracut -force didn't seem to have any effect. A lot of articles on this issue recommend rebuilding the initramfs by rebooting and choosing the "rescue" option on the GRUB boot menu. A look at journalctl indicated that this was because none of the disks were found. On a normal boot the VM would hang at the graphical boot screen for a few minutes, then fail and dump to the dracut recovery shell. Once those issues were resolved, I had a new vhdx that I was able to attach to a new Hyper-V VM. I ultimately ended up needing to comment out these: The original article is a little vague on which lines might need to be commented out in the "desc.txt" file that is created. This worked as described in the original article.Ģ. Ultimately I ended up finding this article which proposed an alternate command: ConvertTo-MvmcVirtualHardDisk. Convert-VHD would not recognize by vmdk file. Here's the list of issues that I faced that were not covered in that article:ġ. For the most part I followed this guide which has links to all of the required tools. There's plenty of guides out there on how to make this migration, but they all seem to be missing at least a few important points. Because of that, it's no longer possible to run a ring-2 hypervisor like VirtualBox. My understanding for this is that Hyper-V is a ring-1 hypervisor which runs your primary OS as an (albeit special) VM. This is automatically done by the installer, but contains one minor inconvenient caveat: once Hyper-V is enabled, VirtualBox no longer functions. The installation process is pretty straightforward but requires Hyper-V be enabled on the machine.

This is why we don’t have native MacOS containers despite the fact that MacOS is more similar to Linux than Windows.Recently I decided I wanted to install Docker Desktop for Windows in order to do some local testing. I heard this explanation in one of the videos on the Docker youtube channel. Maybe one day they will solve it.Ħ.) MacOS is different since the Docker and Windows teams worked together to make it work on Windows but it did not happen with Apple yet.

Microsoft new that so they actually wrote about it somewhere they would work on it (I couldn’t find it now). One of the disadvantages of process isolation is that you can’t use any Windows version inside the container (which is a one of the best things in Linux containers) since the container depends on the Windows version more than Linux containers on the Linux kernel version. Therefore it is recommended to use the Hyper-V isolation. This is called “process isolation”.ĥ.) Unfortunately the Windows containers are not as advanced as Linux containers yet. You can just use the Windows kernel to run native Windows containers. The Docker client just hides the fact that Linux containers are actually inside a vitual machine.Ĥ.) Running Windows containers means you don’t always need virtualization (Hyper-V isolation). You can’t run Liunx containers on Windows directly. I didn’t check this blog post if the instructions are correct but it can be done.ġ.) Yes, Docker was originaly designed to run Linux containersĢ.) Now it is possible to run Docker on Windows or MacOSģ.) To run Linux containers on Windows there must be some kind of virtualization since containers use the kernel of the host operating system. It was last year I think and wanted to use Docker on Windows without Hyper-V since I wanted to use VirtualBox to run Linux VMs. Be aware, I tried these instructions and they did not work, dockerd.exe just wont run.
