Docker inside Windows guest VM
I am using Debian Jessie as VirtualBox host.
I have a Windows 7 VM guest machine that I am using for development purposes.
I want to install docker. To install docker for Windows, I need Boot2docker.exe.
Boot2docker itself is a VirtualBox virtual machine.
This requires VT-x permission.
This does not work.
VirtualBox error message:
VT-x is not available (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX)
E_FAIL (0x80004005)

IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}

You want to run the Docker client on a Windows development VM. Now, you want to create a boot2docker virtual machine inside the windows virtual machine to run docker deamon. I believe it is better to run docker deamon on your Debian host system and let the docker client talk to the host system.
See https://docs.docker.com/engine/docker-overview/#the-docker-client
