Docker newbie here.

I just installed Docker Toolbox on my Win10 (Home) machine. After installation, I'm supposed to run a "Docker Quickstart Terminal". It opens up a terminal that tries to download a "boot2docker.iso" file but it is not able to do so. It usually times out or gives me an error that says "something went wrong. Press a key to continue" and that closes the terminal. Here's the terminal.

I ended up monitoring my network logs and realised it wasn't downloading anything. So to find a workaround, I found a comment here that says the ISO can be downloaded manually from here and placed in the docker/cache folder. But when I try to download the file from my browser, the download doesn't even start.

Why can't I download this file?

  1. Is this a github download issue?
  2. Is there another way to download this ISO?
  3. What if I don't want the latest ISO? I'm assuming it tries to download the ISO because it wants the latest. But when I run docker --version from my terminal, I see that I have a v19.03.1. That's not bad, right?
  4. Even if this download works, is there a way to turn off automatic boot2docker updates on docker so I don't get stuck in the future?

  • I think this was related hyper V virtual switch configuration. I saw 10kb/s download speed and after I restart the machine I downloaded the iso in 30 seconds. just FYI. docker in windows 10 is so broken :) I have been trying to make it work since morning. – ozkanpakdil Jun 16 '20 at 17:28
  • For anyone else who might be stuck with this; I was not able to find the main cause or resolve it completely, but I eventually had to download my files on my phone and transfer it to my laptop. I thought it might be an issue with my wi-fi (did not try w LAN) but even downloading on my laptop using a hotspot did not work so I assume this had something do with the network settings at the time. – rodiwa Jul 16 '20 at 17:25
