|
|
* ### How do I select the Windows version?
|
|
|
|
By default, Windows 11 will be installed. But you can add the `VERSION` environment variable to your compose file, in order to specify an alternative Windows version to be downloaded:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
environment:
|
|
VERSION: "win11"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Select from the values below:
|
|
|
|
| **Value** | **Description** | **Source** | **Transfer** | **Size** |
|
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
| `win11` | Windows 11 Pro | Microsoft | Fast | 6.4 GB |
|
|
| `win10` | Windows 10 Pro | Microsoft | Fast | 5.8 GB |
|
|
| `ltsc10` | Windows 10 LTSC | Microsoft | Fast | 4.6 GB |
|
|
| `win81` | Windows 8.1 Pro | Microsoft | Fast | 4.2 GB |
|
|
| `win7` | Windows 7 SP1 | Bob Pony | Medium | 3.0 GB |
|
|
| `vista` | Windows Vista SP2 | Bob Pony | Medium | 3.6 GB |
|
|
||||||
|
|
| `2022` | Windows Server 2022 | Microsoft | Fast | 4.7 GB |
|
|
| `2019` | Windows Server 2019 | Microsoft | Fast | 5.3 GB |
|
|
| `2016` | Windows Server 2016 | Microsoft | Fast | 6.5 GB |
|
|
| `2012` | Windows Server 2012 R2| Microsoft | Fast | 4.3 GB |
|
|
| `2008` | Windows Server 2008 R2 | Microsoft | Fast | 3.0 GB |
|
|
||||||
|
|
| `core11` | Tiny 11 Core | Archive.org | Slow | 2.1 GB |
|
|
| `tiny11` | Tiny 11 | Archive.org | Slow | 3.8 GB |
|
|
| `tiny10` | Tiny 10 | Archive.org | Slow | 3.6 GB |
|
|
|
|
* ### How do I increase the amount of CPU or RAM?
|
|
|
|
By default, 2 CPU cores and 4 GB of RAM are allocated to the container, as those are the minimum requirements of Windows 11.
|
|
|
|
To increase this, add the following environment variables:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
environment:
|
|
RAM_SIZE: "8G"
|
|
CPU_CORES: "4"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* ### How do I change the size of the disk?
|
|
|
|
To expand the default size of 64 GB, add the `DISK_SIZE` setting to your compose file and set it to your preferred capacity:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
environment:
|
|
DISK_SIZE: "256G"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This can also be used to resize the existing disk to a larger capacity without any data loss.
|
|
|
|
* ### How do I change the storage location?
|
|
|
|
To change the storage location, include the following bind mount in your compose file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- /var/win:/storage
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace the example path `/var/win` with the desired storage folder.
|
|
|
|
* ### How do I perform a manual installation?
|
|
|
|
It's best to use the automatic installation, as it optimizes various settings for use with this container.
|
|
|
|
However, if you insist on performing the installation manually, start a clean container with the following environment variable:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
environment:
|
|
MANUAL: "Y"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
- Start the container and connect to [port 8006](http://localhost:8006) of the container in your web browser. After the download is finished, you will see the Windows installation screen.
|
|
|
|
- Start the installation by clicking `Install now`. On the next screen, press 'OK' when prompted to `Load driver` and select the `VirtIO SCSI` driver from the list that matches your Windows version. So for Windows 11, select `D:\amd64\w11\vioscsi.inf` and click 'Next'.
|
|
|
|
- Accept the license agreement and select your preferred Windows edition, like Home or Pro.
|
|
|
|
- Choose `Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)`, and click `Load driver` on the next screen. Select 'Browse' and navigate to the `D:\NetKVM\w11\amd64` folder, and click 'OK'. Select the `VirtIO Ethernet Adapter` from the list and click 'Next'.
|
|
|
|
- Select `Drive 0` and click 'Next'.
|
|
|
|
- Wait until Windows finishes copying files and completes the installation.
|
|
|
|
- Once you see the desktop, open File Explorer and navigate to the CD-ROM drive (E:). Double-click on `virtio-win-gt-x64.msi` and proceed to install the VirtIO drivers.

|
* ### How do I install a custom image?
|
|
|
|
In order to download a custom ISO image, start a clean container with the URL specified in the `VERSION` environment variable:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
environment:
|
|
VERSION: "https://example.com/win.iso"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can also rename a local file to `custom.iso` and place it in an empty `/storage` folder to skip the download.
|
|
|
|
* ### How do I assign an individual IP address to the container?
|
|
|
|
By default, the container uses bridge networking, which shares the IP address with the host.
|
|
|
|
If you want to assign an individual IP address to the container, you can create a macvlan network as follows:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker network create -d macvlan \
|
|
--subnet=192.168.0.0/24 \
|
|
--gateway=192.168.0.1 \
|
|
--ip-range=192.168.0.100/28 \
|
|
-o parent=eth0 vlan
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Be sure to modify these values to match your local subnet.
|
|
|
|
Once you have created the network, change your compose file to look as follows:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
services:
|
|
windows:
|
|
container_name: windows
|
|
..<snip>..
|
|
networks:
|
|
vlan:
|
|
ipv4_address: 192.168.0.100
|
|
|
|
networks:
|
|
vlan:
|
|
external: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
An added benefit of this approach is that you won't have to perform any port mapping anymore, since all ports will be exposed by default.
|
|
|
|
Please note that this IP address won't be accessible from the Docker host due to the design of macvlan, which doesn't permit communication between the two. If this is a concern, you need to create a [second macvlan](https://blog.oddbit.com/post/2018-03-12-using-docker-macvlan-networks/#host-access) as a workaround.
|
|
|
|
* ### How can Windows acquire an IP address from my router?
|
|
|
|
After configuring the container for macvlan (see above), it is possible for Windows to become part of your home network by requesting an IP from your router, just like a real PC.
|
|
|
|
To enable this mode, add the following lines to your compose file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
environment:
|
|
DHCP: "Y"
|
|
device_cgroup_rules:
|
|
- 'c *:* rwm'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Please note that in this mode, the container and Windows will each have their own separate IPs. The container will keep the macvlan IP, and Windows will use the DHCP IP.
|
|
|
|
* ### How do I pass-through a disk?
|
|
|
|
It is possible to pass-through disk devices directly by adding them to your compose file in this way:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
environment:
|
|
DEVICE: "/dev/sda"
|
|
DEVICE2: "/dev/sdb"
|
|
devices:
|
|
- /dev/sda
|
|
- /dev/sdb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use `DEVICE` if you want it to become your main drive, and use `DEVICE2` and higher to add them as secondary drives.
|
|
|
|
* ### How do I pass-through a USB device?
|
|
|
|
To pass-through a USB device, first lookup its vendor and product id via the `lsusb` command, then add them to your compose file like this:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
environment:
|
|
ARGUMENTS: "-device usb-host,vendorid=0x1234,productid=0x1234"
|
|
devices:
|
|
- /dev/bus/usb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* ### How do I verify if my system supports KVM?
|
|
|
|
To verify if your system supports KVM, run the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt install cpu-checker
|
|
sudo kvm-ok
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you receive an error from `kvm-ok` indicating that KVM acceleration can't be used, check the virtualization settings in the BIOS.
|
|
|
|
* ### Is this project legal?
|
|
|
|
Yes, this project contains only open-source code and does not distribute any copyrighted material. Neither does it try to circumvent any copyright protection measures. So under all applicable laws, this project would be considered legal.
