Windows in Docker

You really can run any VM / container you want under this. But I made it specifically to make headless windows less of a PITA.

Technically this is more of a "manage Windows in Docker" type of project, you can shutdown dockerd and all of your VMs won't be effected.

What It Does

Download VirtIO Windows Drivers

Periodically dump latest virtio-win.iso into /data

From latest stable release

Web GUI 4 Virt Manager

Usage

Install libvirt-daemon under linux host, ie apt install -- libvirt-daemon-system.
Run the following docker-compose.

---
version: "3.9"

services:
  libvirt:
    restart: always
    image: msjpq/windows-in-docker:latest
    security_opt:
      - apparmor=unconfined
    environment:
      TZ:
      # Make sure DATA_DIR is the same across the three `${DATA_DIR}`s
      # The windows drivers are also downloaded under here.
      DATA_DIR: "${DATA_DIR}"
    ports:
      - 80:8080
    volumes:
      - /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock:/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock:ro
      - "${DATA_DIR}:${DATA_DIR}"

Drag in some ISOs you want to install under ${DATA_DIR}.
Go to port 80, follow the GUI, you are good to go.

Wait A Minute

Libvirt doesn't run under Docker tho?

Well, I realized running libvirt under Docker was actually a stupid idea.
