Docker - (Virtual) Host (or Machine or Server) - Docker Type

About

This page is about the host machine in Docker (ie the machine where the daemon is installed).

To see the network of hosts, see the page Docker - Host Network.

Before a host was created through the docker-machine executable (creation, start, stop,…) but with the WSL integration, it's no more.
