无法将 fabric8 与 docker for windows 一起使用

Question

Seems like there might be something i dont understand.

I configured my pom.xml with <dockerHost>tcp://localhost:2375</dockerHost>

Everything is ok for build / deploy.

But it seems fabric8 plugin (v3.5.31) is not configurable with docker for windows : https://store.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-windows so impossible to use fabric8:start

Tryed DOCKER_HOST env, no go.

Am i missing something? Do i really need to install with gofabric8? (wich does not work anyway) The docker engine is all there, i am unable to find any documentation on this sadly. There should be a way to configure it to use the parameter!

Thanks.

The dockerHost in the case for windows is not http://localhost:2375 . You need to find the IP of the VM were docker is running. This can be found by running the command docker-machine env <machine-name> . This will give you the correct DOCKER_HOST that needs to be used.

Alternatively, there is a feature for windows in this plugin that allows you to not specify a dockerHost and rather locate a docker-machine or create a new one, and use the docker server running on that machine. Take a look at this pull request for more info
