Feb 28, 2018 - There is no 'portable' installation option for Docker on any platform. Docker relies on a Virtual Machine on the Windows / Mac platforms: Such a. Google Chrome installs without admin privileges, but it's only available for the user. It's a dirty solution IMO. There are other applications that can be installed without admin. Also, in case you did not know, if you create a directory called TFTP in the VirtualboxPortable Data Virtualbox directory, you can boot a pxe file on the virtual machine. Just make sure you name it the same name as the virtual machine. For example, a virtual machine named xp, you would create a file in the TFTP directory called xp.pxe.

All install files after launcher version 6.4.10 is digitally signed. Signer is “Open Source Developer, Runar Buvik”, certificate is issued by Certum Level III CA. This is temporarily disabled until a new certificate arrives in the mail.
Note
VirtualBox needs several kernel drivers installed and needs to start several services: if the drivers and services are not already installed you'll need administrator rights to run Portable-VirtualBox.
When Portable-VirtualBox starts, it checks to see if the drivers are installed. If they are not it will install them before running VirtualBox and will remove them afterward. Similarly, Portable-VirtualBox checks to see if the services are running. If not, it will start them and then stop them when it exits.
If you want to save space you can remove the language files for other languages than your own. That can save you nearly 10 MB. They are in the nls directory.
You can also delete the documentation saving nearly 5 MB. You will find it in the doc directory.
When the VM is running you must press the 'Host-Key' (initially configured as the right CTRL-Key) to be able to use the other Hotkeys since otherwise the VM will have the focus.
