I'm not user /dev/kvm caused my macbook not support it, I used /dev/tty1.
but, during download file to microsofr server, I found error like this:

ERROR: Failed to download http://dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com/filestreamingservice/files/0796d7b4-b59c-4aac-9b29-64666728c3e3/19045.3803.231204-0204.22h2_release_svc_refresh_CLIENTCONSUMER_RET_A64FRE_en-us.esd , reason: 3

Increasing hardware specs

Hello I have tried to add the environment: with RAM and CPU request, and it got compose errors saying can't be added, i found an update for docker that says use this

      resources:
        limits:
          cpus: "4.0" # Adjust as needed
  

None of these seem to be working as I am running on a P{ineTab2 with 4 CPUs, and it seems locked to just 2 CPUs at the moment.

Can you show an example of where to put it for KVM to translate it? I am not finding any working references.

Raspberry Pi 5

Hi!

I've installed dockur in a Raspberry Pi 5 successfully, but when I start windows I only have a resolution of 800X600 and it does not allow me to change it, have anyone encountered this issue?

Cheers

Unable to deploy on ARM server

I use the docker command line provided by this project on my ARM server, and the system prompts "Error response from daemon: error gathering device information while adding custom device "/dev/kvm": no such file or directory."

Then I used the "cpu-checker" command to query and it showed "FATAL: Module msr not found in directory /lib/modules/6.2.0-39-generic". So is it because my server does not support KVM?

May I ask one concern about whether mac with M2/M1 could install it?

Hi there,

It is so nice to find your repo and star has been marked.
One concern is that "is it possible to install docker-windows arm in macbook with M2?"

Both the OrbStack and Podman have been installed as the docker engine.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Version winxp

Could you make the winxp version available?

Startup error after modifying configuration.

When I added configuration to Docker Compose.yml to modify RAM and CPU, there was a startup error, whether it was the first creation or modification after creation.

Error QEMU

Hello.
I'm trying to install on the orange pi 3b. Running casaOs. But it is showing the following error:

windows | ❯ Starting Windows for Docker v1.10...
windows | ❯ For support visit https://github.com/dockur/windows-arm

windows | �[1;31m❯ ERROR: See the FAQ on how to enable it, or continue without KVM by setting KVM=N (not recommended).�[0m

This error occurs after unzipping the windows11 image.
Previously, I tried to install the x64 version (I thought it was this version) and it just shows great slowness, but Windows actually goes to the installation part.

I ran sudo kvm-ok and it showed no errors.

It attempts to download the .esd file but errors out and restarts the download. Error is:

ERROR: Not enough free space in /storage, have 9 GB available but need at least 15 GB.

The path to my /storage is a 1TB drive. Why would such an error be thrown up?

Any way to run on MacOS ?

I installed docker, and Qemu, libvirt, but there is no Kvm ports for MacOS afaik...
And the container stops with the following message:

So I removed the following parameter:
--device=/dev/kvm

And then it fails while requiring to start with an option I'm not sure to understand:

[Question]: how to run this on M1 pro

Question

When I run "docker run -it --rm --name windows -p 8006:8006 --device=/dev/kvm --cap-add NET_ADMIN --stop-timeout 120 dockurr/windows-arm:1.13" , it says "docker: Error response from daemon: error gathering device information while adding custom device "/dev/kvm": no such file or directory.".
Any idea about enable kvm or install kvm on Apple Silicon Platform?

Doesn't run on OracleCloud ARM?

ERROR: Failed to create bridge. Please add the following setting to your container: --cap-add NET_ADMIN

I get the following error, when trying to run the container: ERROR: Failed to create bridge. Please add the following setting to your container: --cap-add NET_ADMIN

I've found out that I need to add the relevant command in the container.yaml file. If that is the solution, please can someone explain how I can do this because I am a newbie with Docker.
