title: Attempting to access a USB device from Docker in Windows
body: <p>I've not been able to locate any instructions on how to access a USB device from Docker in Windows, exactly, although the instructions <a href="http://reprage.com/post/configure-android-development-environment-with-docker" rel="noreferrer">here</a>, despite being from Mac&nbsp;OS&nbsp;X, come pretty close.</p>
  
  <p>So I'm trying this on Windows, and here's what I've done so far:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Upgraded Oracle VirtualBox to 5.0.16, and installed the <a href="http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.0.16/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.0.16-105871.vbox-extpack" rel="noreferrer">Oracle VM VirtualBox Extensions Pack</a>, which allows the boot2docker VM the ability to use USB 2.0 to access my device.</li>
  <li>Powered off the <code>default</code> virtual machine, and went to Machine → Settings… → USB. Added new USB filter, by selecting the machine from the pop-up list.</li>
  <li>Restarted the Docker Quickstart Terminal.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>The thing is, I suspect that the command for running the virtual machine instance is something as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>docker run --privileged -v &lt;USB directory in host machine&gt;:&lt;USB directory in Docker container&gt; ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is, while in Mac OS X it appears to be <code>/dev/bus/usb</code>, where does it appear in Windows? Isn't it the same place? The <code>/dev/</code> directory doesn't appear to have <code>/dev/usb/</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Have I missed a step? Is the USB device path in a different place for Windows?</p>
  
  <p>By the way, this is the version of Docker that I'm using when I type <code>docker -v</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Docker version 1.10.0, build 590d5108
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm also currently using Windows 7.</p>
