How to use Docker on windows using VMware Workstation (without hyper-v)

I was using docker for windows for a while but it's network adapters doesn't work well for me. causes DNS problems and ....
So I tried to use Docker without hyper-v and came up with this idea of using docker with vmware workstation.

This is how to setup a simple environment:

  1. Install VMware Workstation
  2. Download Docker binaries from https://download.docker.com/win/
  3. Download Docker machine binaries from https://github.com/docker/machine/releases
  4. Download Docker Machine Vmware Workstation driver form https://github.com/pecigonzalo/docker-machine-vmwareworkstation/releases
  5. Extract & Move downloaded files to a directory in your path
  6. Execute docker-machine create --driver=vmwareworkstation dev in cmd to create a machine
  7. Execute docker-machine env dev > dockerdev.bat in cmd to create a batch file called dockerdev.bat and copy/move it to your path
  8. Execute the batch file created in step 7 (dockerdev)
  9. Use docker as usual
