Marcus Christie commented on AIRAVATA-3364:
-------------------------------------------
I've added an Appendix to the tutorial to help Windows Home users get setup to
use a remote Docker host:
https://apache-airavata-django-portal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/gateways2019_tutorial/#appendix-setting-up-windows-for-a-remote-docker-host
I've also added notes to the tutorial repo on how to setup Docker on Jetstream:

> Key: AIRAVATA-3364
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-3364
> Project: Airavata
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Django Portal, Website/Documentation
> Reporter: Marcus Christie
> Assignee: Marcus Christie
> Priority: Major
>
> The ["Gateways 2019"
> tutorial|https://apache-airavata-django-portal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/gateways2019_tutorial/]
> makes use of Docker containers to establish a development environment. This
> way ever tutorial participant has an identical environment and the only
> prerequisite is that they install Docker, which is relatively
> straightforward. However, users who have Windows Home can't install Docker
> Desktop. Windows Home doesn't include support for the native Windows
> virtualization feature called Hyper-V. (Docker does support running in WSL 2,
> see https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install-windows-home/, but
> setting up WSL 2 seems rather involved.)
> In the two times we've given this tutorial it seems to have been overwhelming
> students who have Windows Home as their OS. To make it possible for Windows
> Home users, especially students who may be learning some of these
> technologies for the first time, to participate fully in the tutorial, I
> propose setting up a Docker engine on a Jetstream server that users can log
> into and use to run their dev environment container.
> This issue is to document the steps required to implement the proposal and
> update the tutorial correspondingly.
> h3. TODO
> - [x] Try running through tutorial using Docker on Jetstream
> - [x] https://docs.docker.com/engine/context/working-with-contexts/
> - [ ] (maybe) alternate instructions for running Docker on commercial cloud,
> like Azure container instances
> - [x] Use Visual Studio Code locally to edit files on the VM
> - [ ] Windows Home VM, install Docker client, and run through tutorial using
> Docker on Jetstream
