Oracle VirtualBox in Archlinux using Docker

When you try to create a virtualbox using the docker machine command

docker-machine create --driver VirtualBox myvm1
you may get the following error
Running pre-create checks...
Creating machine...
(default) Copying C:\Users\me\.docker\machine\cache\boot2docker.iso to C:\Users\me\.docker\machine\machines\default\boot2docker.iso...

(default) This is a known VirtualBox bug. Let's try to recover anyway...
Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: Error setting up a host-only network on machine start: The host-only adapter we just created is not visible. This is a well known VirtualBox bug. You might want to uninstall it and reinstall at least version 5.0.12 that is supposed to fix this issue
Looks like something went wrong in step ´Checking if machine default exists´... Press any key to continue...

To fix it uninstall the VM’s using docker-machine rm command and uninstall VirtualBox.

Then run the following on Arch

sudo pacman -S virtualbox virtualbox-host-modules-arch
modprobe vboxdrv vboxpci vboxnetflt

Reboot… just in case… You should be good to go.
