Question

After the program closes, how do you restart it other than the initial docker run script?

[kroese]

docker start windows ? But this seems more like a general Docker question.

Didn't work, it couldn't find the container, how would I go about getting the container? (I've already installed the instance of windows and everytime I run the docker script it gives me a storage error)

[kroese]

If you use the run command, are you using the --rm (remove) flag? Because in that case its normal that everything gets deleted every time.

[ghost]

I'm just using the docker CLI command in the repo's readme file that of being "docker run -it --rm -p 8006:8006 --device=/dev/kvm --device=/dev/net/tun --cap-add NET_ADMIN --stop-timeout 120 dockurr/windows". Can I modify this script to be able to run it without deleting everything and thus be able to start it?

[kroese]

Yes.. the example removes everything (because its just an example). So just remove the --rm parameter and you will be fine.

[ghost]

I removed the --rm parameter but still get the same error, "ERROR: Not enough free space in /storage, have 2 GB available but need at least 6 GB."

How do you get it to retain the download and not redownload

[kroese]

It will always retain the download. Just use the example compose file, and if using the run command then do not use the --rm flag.

[ghost]

Forgot to mention, but I got it to work after some experimenting by using docker sp -a and then running docker start (container_name)

[kroese]

Never heard of docker sp so I have no clue what it does, but Im glad it works now in any case.

[ghost]

It lists containers
