I am trying to make docker run on ConEmu by creating a task that open up Docker start.sh file usinggit bash.

Since normally docker Terminal is pointing to "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" --login -i "C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\start.sh" ,is there any way I can make a task on ConEmu to do this? So something like this:

In the task parameters:

/dir "C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox"

Commands:

"%ConEmuDrive%\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i -new_console:C:"C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker-quickstart-terminal.ico" "C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\start.sh"

Please note that I have git in Program Files (x86), and also that the -new_console parameter that references the ico is not needed. I assume you have that ico, but you can remove the whole parameter if it proves problematic, but you will be left with the Git bash icon.

  • so in my case, I needed to add C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox to my path, too.

  • "%ProgramFiles%\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i -new_console:C:"%ProgramFiles%\Docker Toolbox\docker-quickstart-terminal.ico" "%ProgramFiles%\Docker Toolbox\start.sh"

The posted answer didn't work for me (using Docker Toolbox 1.10.3). I chose to install Docker Bash shell during install (basically everything the installer offers).

Here's what worked for me (note the use of bash.exe):

task parameters:

/dir "C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox"

Command:

"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" --login -i -new_console:C:"C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker-quickstart-terminal.ico" "C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\start.sh"

  • This answer almost works for me, I can see the whale but I cannot use any docker command, I got bash: docker.exe: command not found, I don't know why, please advise.

Install docker before installing conEmu that is configured automatic.

enter image description here

Task Parameters:

/dir "%DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH%" /icon "%DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH%\docker.exe"

Start console: 

"%DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH%\..\Git\usr\bin\bash.exe"-l -i "%DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH%\start.sh" -new_console:t:"Docker"

    If ConEmu is installed before installing the docker toolbox, you can click "Add default tasks..." and it will repopulate the list and include Docker.

  • This is what worked for me. The other solutions kept complaining about the spaces in the directory paths and not being able to run "C:\Program"

With ConEmu 160207 (on a Windows7 Pro), after installing Docker (version 1.11.1, build 5604cbe) and then bring up a ConEmu windows, I noticed there is a task for Docker automatically added.

Here's the ConEmu setting dialog box:

None of these worked for me for a freshly installed Docker Toolbox.

This is what I finally got to work.

Task Parameters

/dir "%DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH%" /icon "%DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH%\docker.exe"

Commands

set CHERE_INVOKING=1 & %ConEmuDrive%\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe --login -i "%DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH%\start.sh" -new_console:t:"Docker"
