Microsoft announced the general availability of Windows Server 2016, and with it, Docker engine running containers natively on Windows.the expansion of the Docker platform beyond Linux workloads to support Windows Server applications. The Commercially Supported Docker Engine (CS Docker Engine) is now available at no additional cost with every edition of Windows Server 2016.
Windows Server 2016 is the where Docker Windows containers should be deployed for production. For developers planning to do lots of Docker Windows container development, it may also be worth setting up a Windows Server 2016 dev system (in a VM, for example), at least until Windows 10 and Docker for Windows support for Windows containers matures.
Once Windows Server 2016 is running, log in, run Windows Update to ensure you have all the latest updates and install the Windows-native Docker Engine directly (that is, not using “Docker for Windows”). Run the following in an Administrative PowerShell prompt:
# Add the containers feature and restart
Install-WindowsFeature containers
Restart-Computer -Force
# Download, install and configure Docker Engine
Invoke-WebRequest "https://download.docker.com/components/engine/windows-server/
cs-1.12/docker.zip" -OutFile "$env:TEMP\docker.zip" -UseBasicParsing
Expand-Archive -Path "$env:TEMP\docker.zip" -DestinationPath $env:ProgramFiles
# For quick use, does not require shell to be restarted.
$env:path += ";c:\program files\docker"
# For persistent use, will apply even after a reboot.
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", $env:Path + ";C:\Program Files\
Docker", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)
# Start a new PowerShell prompt before proceeding
dockerd --register-service
Start-Service docker
