A implementation of windows OS (x64) based on vagrant VM, libvirt and docker compose. The VM is created inside a container using vagrant and libvirt. This strategy makes the deployment of windows OS trivial and plug and play.

• docker >= 24
• docker-compose >= 1.18

1. Create/Update the environmental file .env

# Vagrant image settings
MEMORY=8000 # 8GB
CPU=4
DISK_SIZE=100

2. Create docker-compose.yml

version: "3.9"

services:
  win10:
    image: ghcr.io/vaggeliskls/windows-in-docker-container:latest
    env_file: .env
    stdin_open: true
    tty: true
    privileged: true
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
      - SYS_ADMIN
    volumes:
      - /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup
    devices:
      - /dev/kvm
      - /dev/net/tun
    ports:
      - 3389:3389

3. Run: docker-compose up -d

For debugging purposes or testing you can always connect to the VM with remote desktop softwares.

Some software that used when developed was

1. Linux: rdesktop rdesktop <ip>:3389 or remina
2. MacOS: Windows remote desktop
3. Windows: buildin Remote Windows Connection
