virtualbox - Is it possible to use Boot2Docker without VT-x? -

i want utilize docker on machine has vt-x disabled (and cannot enabled). possible?

i'm using boot2docker on windows 7 x64, there's no mention of requirements there, or in docker instructions either.

i output boot2docker start:

is possible, or there workaround virtualbox settings can create work?

you can fill bug study on github: https://github.com/boot2docker/windows-installer. boot2docker should not require vt-x.

in meantime, can switch other os, coreos (lightweight, docker installed) or raw ubuntu install docker.

you might want take @ vagrant. coreos provides vagrantfiles , easy vagrant up spawn vm docker enabled.
