wolkenkit without Docker

Can I install wolkenkit without Docker?

I tried to do wolkenkit run but I faced a Docker problem, this is because I use VirtualBox and I am not planning to use Docker at all on my PC.

Can I run blank project without Docker?

Yes and no 😉

wolkenkit consists of two parts: The wolkenkit CLI and a variety of Docker images. As the CLI was written in Node.js, you can install it without Docker (but this is only true for the CLI). To do so, you should install it using the -g flag of npm:

$ npm install -g wolkenkit

The Docker images, of course, rely on Docker. So basically, yes, you need to have a machine that runs Docker to run wolkenkit. Depending on your operating system, see the installation guides of wolkenkit:

If you don't want to install Docker on your machine, you can still set it up on a remote machine, e.g. using docker-machine. Then you can control that remote machine using the locally installed wolkenkit CLI.

Another option is to use a ready-made virtual machine that already contains wolkenkit: These machines are available for VMware and VirtualBox, and can easily be set up using Vagrant.

I hope this helps 😊

PS: Please note that I am one of the core developers of wolkenkit.
