Running docker on Windows 10 using Hyper-V.
When I stop the MobyLinuxVM from the Hyper-V manager, docker stops working. At this point, I can still get response to commands like 'docker -v' but every other command fails. For example: 'docker ps' returns an unknown command error on Windows Powershell. Docker did not start to work normally even after changing the state of MobyLinuxVM to running from the Hyper-V manager. The only way I could get docker to work normally again was uninstalling-reinstalling it.
My question is: Will the MobyLinuxVM always keep on running in my system and eating resources even if I do not need to use docker at a given moment? (There's an assigned memory of 2048 MB even if CPU utilization is zero). Is there some way of stopping the MobyLinuxVM, then restarting it when I need to work with docker and have docker work fine?
Is there a way to start and stop docker at will?
