Docker Toolbox - Skip VTX Check

In some configurations, even where virtualization has been enabled in the host bios, Docker Toolbox will incorrectly report that vtx features are not available - and fail to initialize.

Error with pre-create check: "This computer doesn't have VT-X/AMD-v enabled. Enabling it in the BIOS is mandatory"

This script acts as a direct replacement for the default Docker Toolbox start.sh to skip the virtualization checks on docker machine initialization.

Installation:

Replace start.sh in the Docker Toolbox install directory, then run as normal. eg.

  • <git_dir>\bin\bash.exe --login -i "<docker_toolbox_dir>\start.sh"
