NET Framework SDK and ASP.NET images available - hopefully SQL Server will get some attention soon.) docker image pull /dotnet/core/aspnet:3.0ĭocker image pull /dotnet/core/sdk:3.0.100 You can pull those now and start running your. NET Core team released versions of their SDK and runtime images as soon as Windows Server 2019 launched. Windows Server Core has shrunk from over 10GB to a 1.5GB download, and Nano Server has shrunk from over 1GB to a 90MB download! Pull the. These images are tiny compared to the Windows Server 2016 versions. You'll need both those images, and be aware that the base images are now hosted on Microsoft's container registry, MCR: docker image pull /windows/servercore:ltsc2019ĭocker image pull /windows/nanoserver:1809 This sets up Docker as a Windows Service, which you need to start: Start-Service dockerĪny Docker containers you run on Windows Server 2019 will be based on Windows Server Core or Nano Server.

#DOCKER WINDOWS BASE IMAGE INSTALL#
The latest Docker Enterprise engine is version 19.03 18.03, which you can explicitly install with PowerShell: Install-Module -Name DockerMsftProvider -Repository PSGallery -Force Windows Server licensing includes the licence cost for Docker Enterprise, so you can run the enterprise edition with production support for containers from Microsoft and Docker. Option 6, to download and install all updates Option 7, to enable Remote Desktop Access to the server

Option 5, to set Windows Updates to manual There's no GUI in Windows Server Core, so run sconfig and then select: You'll want to make sure you have the latest updates, but then I disable automatic updates so I only get future updates when I want them. Uninstall-WindowsFeature Windows-Defender You'll need to reboot after these steps: Install-WindowsFeature -Name Containers To run containers you need to enable the Containers feature, and for a non-production VM I also disable Windows Defender to stop it burning CPU cycles. Then I like to set PowerShell as the default command shell, so whenever you RDP you get into a PowerShell session: Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon' -name Shell -Value 'PowerShell.exe -noExit'

The first time you connect you'll need to set the password for the default Administrator account. When you RDP into a Windows Server Core machine you just see a command prompt.
#DOCKER WINDOWS BASE IMAGE UPGRADE#
You can also upgrade from previous Windows Server versions to 2019 using the ISO. The setup finished in a few minutes, and it runs very quickly - even with just 4GB RAM allocated.

#DOCKER WINDOWS BASE IMAGE WINDOWS 10#
I installed Server 2019 onto a Hyper-V VM running on my Windows 10 machine, with the VM disks stored on an external SSD drive. I prefer the core installation with no GUI: The installation procedure for 2019 is the same as previous Windows Server versions - boot a VM from the ISO and the setup starts. VMs with Windows Server 2019 already deployed will be available on Azure shortly. You can download the ISO to install Windows Server 2019 now, from your Visual Studio subscription if you have one, or a 180-day evaluation version if you don't. If you want to check out the newest version of Windows Server and get running Docker containers, here's what you need to do. On Windows 10 Docker Desktop is the easiest way to get started You can use the same Docker images, the same Dockerfiles and the same docker commands on Windows 10, but there's an additional virtualization overhead, so it's good to use a Windows Server VM for test environments. You need Windows Server to run "pure" Docker containers, where the container process runs directly on the host OS. It focuses entirely on Windows Server 2019 UPDATE: the second edition of my book Docker on Windows is out now. Windows Server 2019 is the next long-term support release of Windows Server, and it's available now! It comes with some very useful improvements to running Docker Windows containers - which Docker Captain Stefan Scherer has already summarized in his blog post What's new for Docker on Windows Server 2019.
