docker install on private network without network instructions

Question

I have to install Docker on windows 7 in a private netwrok with no internet access.
I can download anything and bring it in by usb from another computer.

How do I intall and use docker?
Meaning: From installation, (what to install and how to setup) to creating the first image.
Most of the instruction I found use proxy and I cant use a proxy.

The installation itself involve copying docker-machine-Windows-x86_64.exe, renaming it to docker-machine.exe, and creating a virtualbox machine with it.

The issue is that it will attempt to download boot2docker.iso (the tinyCore-based linux image which includes docker pre-installed)
That means you need to copy that file on your usb key first, from boot2docker/boot2docker/releases.
From issue 539:

docker-machine create mydocker --virtualbox-boot2docker-url=file:///Users/auser/Downloads/boot2docker.iso --driver=virtualbox

You will need a similar docker setup on a machine with internet access in order to:

• docker pull the images you want
• docker save them
• copy them on the USB key
• copy them on your offline server, in C:\Users... (which is the only folders mounted in boot2docker VM)

Then you need to open an ssh session

docker-machine ssh default

And within that session, you can access the folder where the saved images are copied, and docker load them.
