Boot2docker: Increase virtual box memory on windows environment

[aashray-a-chetan]

I'm trying to change the virtual box memory each time the dockerfile is built using the following commands in the dockerfile:

docker-machine stop
VBoxManage modifyvm default --cpus 2
VBoxManage modifyvm default --memory 4096
docker-machine start

docker-machine command is not recognized. How do I go about doing this on windows environment?

If you installed boot2docker with docker-toolbox, then it should be in the path when you run the "Docker Quickstart terminal" (instead of cmd or Powershell).

The easiest way.
open VirtualBox stop default VM
Select default and click on settings
Make changes As you want.
Launch your Docker Quickstart Terminal.
