Run docker inside a VirtualBox of Windows Server 2016 (GUI) on Mac OS I have downloaded the Windows Server 2016 iso from Microsoft for evaluation.

I then installed it via VirtualBox on my Macbook Pro running the latest Mac OS (High Sierra).

I downloaded Docker for Windows but when I try to load it, it either fails with an error saying it cannot write to database, or it fails because it says virtualization / Hyper-V has to be enabled in BIOS.

I have Hyper-V selected in the VirtualBox settings so that should work (and restarted the virtual machine).

However it still fails.

Is it possible to run Docker for Windows on a Windows Virtual Machine, all hosted on Mac OS?
According to me this is not possible as the hyper-v should be enabled on the host system. If this is enabled in a VirtualBox, but not on the host system, then this will not work according to what I have experienced.
