Refer to the book from Packt, Docker on Windows, Second Edition

https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/


Workflow anticipated

  • Develop on Windows 10
  • Move container to Windows Server 2019

Windows 10

Download and install Docker Desktop for Windows Tick the box "Use Windows containers instead of Linux containers (this can be changed after installation)".

As I understand it if you run a Linux container on a Windows machine you will really be running a Linux virtual machine to host the Docker containers and that seems to imply it will be a heavier load on the server and probably also have strict resource limits (in particular, RAM will be capped by the Linux VM). I am guessing it would have to install WSL (Windows System for Linux) or VirtualBox too.

Windows Server 2019

Not there yet... come back later today.
