Windows Guest on Docker (Linux Host)

Download and create a combined ISO
- Windows 10 Image: https://www.microsoft.com/ko-kr/software-download/windows10 (If you change the user agent to iPhone, you can download the ISO file.)
- VirtIO Driver
  - Download from official archive (fedorapeople.org)
  - Download from IPFS (ipfs.io)
- ImgBurn: https://www.imgburn.com/ (like as below)
  - Options: MODE1/2048, UDF, 1.02, Recurse Subdirectories, Include Hidden Files, Include System Files
  - Bootable Disc: Mark the checkbox Make Image Bootable, and set the fields to [image path]\boot\etfsboot.com, 80x86, Microsoft Corporation, 07C0, 8
Extract the two ISO files and combine them into one ISO file. (e.g. win10_x64_virtio.iso)

And then, load the drivers - vioscsi\w10\amd64(SCSI) and NetKVM\w10\amd64(Network) - when installing Windows 10

Build the Docker image

# git clone https://github.com/gnh1201/docker-qemu && cd docker-qemu/6.1
# docker build -t gnh1201/qemu:6.1 .

or use Docker Hub

# docker pull gnh1201/qemu:6.1

Write the bash file (e.g. win10-virtio.sh)

#!/bin/bash
docker run -it --rm \
    --device /dev/kvm \
    --name win10-virtio \
    --user="$(id --user):$(id --group)" \
    -v /home/john/win10-virtio.qcow2:/tmp/hda.qcow2 \
    -e QEMU_HDA=/tmp/hda.qcow2 \
    -e QEMU_HDA_SIZE=50G \
    -e QEMU_CPU=3 \
    -e QEMU_RAM=3072 \
    -v /cdimages/win10_x64_virtio.iso:/tmp/debian.iso:ro \
    -e QEMU_CDROM=/tmp/debian.iso \
    -e QEMU_BOOT='order=d' \
    -e QEMU_PORTS='2375 2376 3389' \
    -e QEMU_ARCH='x86_64' \
    gnh1201/qemu:6.1

The example(/home/john/win10-virtio.qcow2 and /cdimages/win10_x64_virtio.iso) have to replace with your own path.

If you want to allow RDP external access, please add EXPOSE 3389 to the file 6.1/Dockerfile (Must be rebuilt image)

Run a container

# touch /home/john/win10-virtio.qcow2
# ./win10-virtio.sh

Find an IP address of the container

# docker ps    # get the container ID
# docker inspect <container ID>   # get an IP address

Connect to the container via VNC
- Reminna: https://remmina.org/
Access the container with a client capable of accessing the VNC protocol.

All done.
