What is the docker for windows command for -v var run docker sock var run docker sock

0 votes

My aim is to control the host docker service from within a container.

By using Linux host and Linux container it is done like this: 

docker run -it -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock alpine

But now I’m using Docker for Windows and I want to do the same thing. Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks in advance.

Switch to Linux containers using Docker for Windows if you’re using windows containers. It works only when you’re using a linux container.
