Kernel based Virtual Machine (KVM)/Support for Nested Virtualization in Docker Desktop (Linux)

[faheem047]

I am requesting support for nested virtualization in Docker Desktop for Linux environments. This feature would empower users to run Docker Desktop inside a virtual machine (VM) that is already running another virtualization technology, such as KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine). Implementing nested virtualization support in Docker Desktop for Linux would enhance its usability and versatility. This feature would allow users to run Docker Desktop within a nested virtualization environment, enabling complex deployment setups and facilitating various use cases that rely on nested virtualization configurations.

Workaround Attempts: I have attempted the following methods to enable nested virtualization: Enabled Virtualization in BIOS/UEFI settings. Enabled Hyper-V on the Windows host. Enabled nested virtualization for my VM using commands such as VBoxManage modifyvm for Oracle VirtualBox. Installed and Configure KVM on the Linux VM

I have also booted the Linux VM using sudo reboot after installing the packages Despite these attempts, the lack of native support for nested virtualization in Docker Desktop for Linux remains a challenge. Diagnostic ID - FB4BB85A-FB5F-4397-A11D-2E66934E64A7/20240619150426
